History

“My soul was once in doubt, since debated is his birth. O Zeus, some say that you were born on the hills of Ida; others, O Zeus, say in Arcadia; but I see now the truth… You were born of the stars” – Aquila – Prophet of the Wrath.

The Wrath of Zeus has origins that date back at least 4000 years on Earth to Greek Antiquity, then being known as the Cult of Zeus. Zeus, the king of the Greek Gods, was identified as a powerful warrior deity, with ultimate power as the Lord of Justice over other gods and man alike. He reigned supreme over all, but was fair-handed and just in his judgments.

Zeus, like most of the gods of the Greek pantheon, had many roles and epithets aside from his main function as weather god and king of Olympus. Zeus was the lord and enforcer of Xenia, leading to him being the patron deity of hospitality, guest-friendship and punisher of all those who violated the laws of Xenia. In addition, Zeus kept watch over business dealings at the marketplace and was ready to punish rogues, thieves and unfair traders. A further aspect of Zeus was as the keeper of oaths and punisher of those who violated those oaths. As a result, oaths were often sworn by ‘almighty Zeus’ and people who violated the terms of their oaths were made to pay heavily for their untruths.

As other religions on Earth sprouted and flourished, and faith waned, the Cult of Zeus fell into obscurity for several thousand years. The term “Mythology” was associated with the Cult’s former teachings and became more tales for moral use and entertainment than for religious purposes… that is… until the Coming of the Wrath.

Everything changed in approximately 2769 when a man whose true name is still unknown, the Prophet of the Wrath, began to spread the Word of the Wrath of Zeus. He first saw the Truth after being struck by a bolt of Holy Lightning, allowing him a temporary trancendence to Olympus. In the audience with Him, he discovered that the once-mighty Zeus had had grown weak with the loss of faithful believers and was in need of a catalyst to re-establish His power and strength. He learned further that Zeus was enraged by his former loss of beleivers, and that it was His wish to re-establish his Following, regaining and surpassing His former power through the conversion of new Souls to the Wrath. Zeus dubbed this man Aquila, Carrier of the Thunderbolts (as the fabled eagle of old), and spreader of his new faith, the Wrath of Zeus. Zeus charged Aquila with spreading the Word of the Wrath throughout the known universe, encouraging those that would be One with the Wrath to, in turn, spread the Word to others so that they might too be Saved.

“Spread the Wrath with fervor, for each Saved soul strengthens our almighty Zeus. Let those you see know the Truth, and let those that defy our Truth succumb to our searing Thunderbolts!” – Aquila – Prophet of the Wrath.
