Question: John, um, why is Gaia not a kind of Titan that's been statted with her purviews and other powers on your site? Danu is statted with her associated powers, but Gaia just kind of stares at you when you click on her.
Because Gaia is the personified earth, and as such will be in the Earth Titanrealm when we get around to writing that, not the Fertility realm of Ourea.
While the Scion books place Gaia in the realm of Terra (which is silly because Terra is just the Roman name for Gaia, you guys), that Titanrealm is a mess of a place. Where most other Titanrealms are specific, Terra tries to be the Titan of Life, meaning it encompasses a bunch of vaguely related concepts including reproduction, plants, earth, healing and so on. Gaia is a part of that giant conglomeration of ideas in the original writeup. But Terra is a clusterfuck that we took apart even before we made the rest of our Titanrealm writeups, breaking it down into Ourea as well as separate Earth and Disease/Healing realms. The original Scion line does have a Titanrealm of Earth in Crom Cruach, but that place is mythologically drunk and no one should use it.
Gaia is one of the classic Earth Mother figures, and will undoubtedly be part of our eventual Titanrealm of Earth along with others like Coatlicue, Prithvi, Ki, Jord, Klugyalmo, Geb and so on. We just haven't written that particular realm yet, so Gaia has no dedicated page to link to.
Someday, though! Cross your fingers!
Could Atlas be considered a Titan of Earth?
ReplyDeleteMost definitely! He's a classic!
DeleteSince Klugyalmo is a tibetan Bon titan while she be coming before or after her particular region is fleshed out in PDF form? Since she has to be held down by daggers in her myth.
ReplyDeleteby which i mean ritually prepared daggers of course.
DeleteKlugyalmo is pretty obviously the Big Bad of the Tibetan pantheon, and their major antagonist. I'd love to include her when we do a writeup, though it probably wouldn't play well with the RAW pantheons (since technically there's already a Titanrealm of Earth in the abominable Crom Cruach).
DeleteSo which titan aspect would you have to kill to make the very bedrock beneath ones feet crumble, dumping the whole of the world in the earths molten core?
ReplyDeleteSeveral of the major earth mothers (or father, in the case of Geb) might have similar effects, but are likely to affect their particular areas. For example, killing Gaia might destroy the earth's crust in the Mediterranean, but not necessarily the entire world.
Delete...not that having a hole to the molten core would not totally fuck up everything else in the world, of course.
