mythoverse.

Pantheons sought to establish their dominance over humanity, claiming land and followers in an endless cycle of conquest.

Territorial disputes between factions such as the Olympians and Asgardians escalated into full-scale wars.

Mortals, growing disillusioned with divine intervention, turned to science and rebellion, weakening the gods' influence.

Prophets across multiple pantheons foretold an event known as The Sundering, a cataclysmic collapse that would destroy both divine and mortal realms.

With their realms crumbling and mortal worship fading, the pantheon leaders were forced into negotiations, setting aside their rivalries to create a shared sanctuary—Mythos Dominion.

The Divine Accord, an ancient treaty written in celestial script, was signed, binding all gods to the city and establishing it as neutral ground where no pantheon could claim sole rule

The Alpha/Omega dynamic began appearing shortly after the city's creation, manifesting within divine and mortal bloodlines alike.

Initially, it was seen as a temporary affliction caused by the convergence of so many divine essences in one place, but over generations, it became a fixed reality.

Scholars theorize that the hierarchy was born from the gods’ primal desires—Alphas embodying dominance and leadership, Omegas embodying nurturing and submission, and Betas maintaining balance between the two.

Some pantheons, such as the Norse and Greek, readily embraced the hierarchy, while others, such as the Celestial Court, sought to suppress it through strict societal regulations.

Alphas: Seized power swiftly, using their enhanced strength, charisma, and territorial instincts to dominate governance and military control.

Betas: Positioned themselves as mediators and advisors, ensuring the city did not spiral into chaos.

Omegas: Initially viewed as liabilities or sacred treasures, their rare and potent pheromones led to immediate attempts at regulation, control, and exploitation.

District Divisions: Each district is governed by a pantheon, with borders marked by ancient sigils, sacred wards, and territorial enforcers.

Hierarchical Influence: The closer to the city’s core, the stronger the pantheon’s control and presence; the outskirts are wilder and less regulated.

Crime and Black Markets: While the Upper City thrives on politics and diplomacy, the Lower City harbors illegal trade, unregistered Omegas, and rogue Alphas seeking power beyond their designated roles.

Neutral Zones: Certain areas, such as The Veiled Market, serve as common ground where pantheons may conduct business without fear of open conflict.

Upper City: A glittering skyline of divine skyscrapers and lavish temples, where the most powerful gods and their Alpha enforcers reside. The Greek Pantheon dominates much of the Upper City, with their influence stretching across politics, media, and high society. The Norse and Egyptian pantheons also maintain their presence here, each with their own fortified territories.

Lower City: A sprawling underbelly of corruption, crime, and forgotten deities. The Lower City is home to trickster gods, disgraced titans, and monstrous entities who have been forced into the shadows. Here, the Celtic and Slavic pantheons thrive, operating black markets and underground fighting pits. The Lower City is a dangerous place where unbonded Omegas are at constant risk, and rogue Alphas stake their claims without consequence.
