Fighting Fate

Question: Who is Comprenion? The Titan of... Order? The description on Scent the Titanic reminds me of the Weaver from Werewolf.

It probably should, because Comprenion (the reconstructed Gaulish word for destiny) is the Titanrealm of Fate. Created by the Fates, Norns and Matrones to strike back against those gods who dare to flout their fateful decrees, it's a place of rampant magic, fluid fate and terrible finality. Non-Fate powers fail to work reliably, Fatebonds pop up spontaneously all over the world, and nobody comes out quite the same as they went in.

We created it more to respond to certain issues in our specific game than anything else, but for those using the Nemetondevos, it can also be a good alternative antagonist for those whose games run more smoothly using the traditional Titan setup instead of trying to figure out what the Matrones are up to as free agents. The three triads of ladies are currently our working Titan Avatars, but any famous magician- or prophet-gods might be candidates for membership as well.

As a generality, PCs are scared stiff of the place and avoid it at all costs, which makes sense as Fate is the ultimate boogeyman of the setting. Vala and Jioni are actually embarking on a field trip into its depths this coming week, so I'm looking forward to all the mistakes, tears and recriminations to come.

Our Titan of Order is Sedeq, a full writeup for which can be found in the Elohim supplement.
