Backstory

Once a messenger spirit born from the echo of Hermes’ laughter, Dolios was twisted by Apollo’s envy and remade into something darker — a god of deceit and mimicry. In the ages after the Titan War, he served as Apollo’s right hand, silencing prophets and erasing inconvenient truths. It was Dolios who exploited the prophecy of the Beastborn Flame, ensuring it birthed both power and tragedy. His manipulation of mortal and god alike kindled the cycle of vengeance that drives the saga. Where Apollo seeks order through domination, Dolios seeks the opposite — the exquisite chaos born when truth unravels.
