Dead Like Me

Question: In an earlier post, you referenced Iapetus and Thanatos being Titans that represent The End. Are they part of a specific Titanrealm in your story?

They're both under heavy consideration at the moment to be part of a Titanrealm of Death, though we haven't yet gotten to buckle down and build that. Thanatos' inclusion is easy - he is death, after all, personified - and Iapetus' role as the limiter who decides the lifespan of every mortal makes him a good candidate for an Avatar in charge of when natural death should occur.

The PCs in our games haven't yet met Iapetus (which is probably good for them, actually), but they have tangled with Thanatos a time or two, mostly because Jioni's now technically his stepmother and they have to deal with him and his siblings when they go visiting Erebus or bothering the Titans who are allied with it. They're pretty sure they don't like him.
