Titans

Titans are towering demigods with divine blood coursing through their veins. Whereas titanic creatures like the kraken and tarrasque were employed as weapons by the gods, true titans are the scions of the gods: semi-divine figures often disavowed for the parts they played in ancient tragedies.

Relics of the Past. Mortal history does not record what happened in the days when titans walked the earth, but clues can be found in ancient myths. In some stories, titans ruled the Material Plane with the gods’ favor. In others, the titans’ feuds and betrayals embroiled the gods in catastrophic wars that threatened the divine order. In any case, titans have all but vanished from the mortal world. A few still govern astral fiefdoms on behalf of their divine parents. Others are imprisoned in the mythical palaces they once ruled, now sunk beneath the sea or swallowed by immense dungeon complexes.

Dangerous Prisoners. Sometimes ancient prisons are breached by earthquakes or the reckless interference of adventurers, and a titan awakens and walks the earth again. Many titans have no ambition beyond destruction. Others wish to take up their crowns and rule, sweeping aside the works of mortals and ushering in a new age of titans.

Immortal Nature. A titan doesn’t require air, sustenance, or sleep.
