Find your Destiny
The savage Titans have escaped their eternal prison to wage war with the Gods once more.
Their battles in the Overworld have spilled over to ours.

Armed with abilities and weapons granted by their divine parents, the Scions stand as humanity’s only defence.

This book includes:
• Six ready–to–play Scions - the offspring of the Gods
• Rules to create your own Scion from one of more than 50 gods from six different pantheons
• The adventure, “The Long Road to Heaven,” using the Storytelling Adventure System

Scion: Hero is the first book in a new Storytelling game series from White Wolf Publishing.

White Wolf is pleased to announce the planned release of a three book series under the stand-alone title Scion, under the direction of John Chambers. Mr. Chambers is best known for his work with the best-selling game line, Exalted, which launched with the second edition in March of this year.

The child of a God, filled with the potential to become beyond mortal, the Scion is their divine parent's agent in the world. A Scion battles the machinations of the newly freed Titans, those ancient beings whose place the Gods usurped so that they might live and rule without fear of being devoured by their greedy forebears.

As a divine child, you protect humanity from the terrors of the Titans and help your parent in the vast war that engulfs the real and divine worlds. Armed with divine parentage and Birthright gifts, Scions stand against the encroaching tide of the Titan's hunger. Will you rise to the heights of power through your heroism? Will you become more than just a pawn in a divine game? What great events will mark your divine ascent?

Scions who are aware of their parentage recognize that the term pantheon, Greek for "all gods," describes their divine and immortal forebears as a collective. Most Scions, however, know that their parents belong to one of several tribes or families of Gods, also described as pantheons, who together bring structure and order to the World and neighboring mythic realms. Most of the surviving Gods of the pantheons humanity have worshiped throughout history remain embroiled in an all-out war in the Overworld with the recently escaped Titans. The Gods of the six pantheons presented in this chapter are those who have found the most time in recent years to slip away from the Overworld briefly to sire Scion children. This is not to say that Scions of other Gods are not active in the World, only that they are comparatively rare.

Both Scions and their divine parents remain confused about whether human cultures brought Gods into being or Gods created the cultures. Both possibilities seem implausible but not impossible for beings that have lived longer than all of recorded history. (At least, so the Gods claim.) For certain, at least six such families of deities thrive today. Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome produced two, the Pesedjet and the Dodekatheon. Northern Europe engendered the Aesir. Japan brought the Amatsukami to awareness. West Africa, the Caribbean and southern America together created the Loa. And Central America awakened the Atzlánti.

Each clan of divinities has its concerns and emphases, but its Gods all work to maintain the World. Their Scions help them achieve their aims, which may be defined as 1) prevent the Titans from destroying all that exists, 2) promote given agendas within human society, 3) ensure the pantheon's survival, and 4) thwart plans of rival Gods.
