The System of Olympus is predicated upon the idea of perfect hierarchy where the ones at the top, Cronus' bloodline, are infallible and their very existence was held as supreme and the top of the rank of the System. | The System of Olympus is predicated upon the idea of perfect hierarchy where the ones at the top, the Twelve Olympians descended from Cronus' bloodline, are infallible and their very existence was held as supreme and the top of the rank of the System. To that end, {{Transient icon|Hermes}} has been assigned to find and resolve any issues that may contradict this notion. | ||
Zeus currently stands at the top of the hierarchy, presiding over the Twelve. The Twelve decide what is right and how transgressions are to be punished, and those of a lower rank cannot resist the demands of those higher than them. The System places great importance on forming bonds with those of a higher rank through such methods as being a child of a higher-ranked being or through love, although said bonds tend to be very superficial as many do not care about the person themselves but rather their rank and the blood they have within them. | |||
Faith in the Supreme is the mechanism that perpetuates the System. All faith must be directed to the Supreme at the top of the hierarchy by forging bonds, which has lead to the assimilation of different cultures from across many defeated worlds into the System of Olympus. As such, Zeus is destined to forge bonds of love with all things, in ever-increasing numbers. | |||
