Tuesday, 12 December, AD 1996:
There is no hiding from the gods. Even secure in my darkest haven, the Messenger sough me out, appearing to me as a winged man in a hoplite's brown armour. I have heard that others saw him differently, as to their backgrounds and inclinations - no matter. The Summons he gave us all did not vary a word:
COME TO OLYMPOS, CHOSEN JUROR OF THE GODS;
THE EARTH IS AT JUDGEMENT TODAY
AND APOCALYPSE DRAWS NEAR.
Of course I came. Who could not? And so, like many others of which I have of late become acquainted, I passed through the Messenger's gate, and beheld the City of White Pillars in her fallen Glory..."
from the journals of Daniel Bee, writer.

This will be Clandestyne 4.1
In ancient Athens, the Aeropagus or Council of Five Hundred made made decisions to guide the world's first great democracy. That time is gone, but a shadow of it remains. The gods of the world that is passed have summoned together a chosen few from the city: the werewolves in the Fury; the realityweavers in their Power; the faeries in their Dreaming; the mortals in their Seeking; and the dead in their Shadows. A Third Divine council has been called and Olympos is falling into decay.
Someone is instigating Apocalypse, the Great ending, for reasons not made clear. The gods themselves have come (those that are able) for a meeting not seen for two thousand years...
What is the Secret of the City of White Pillars?
What lurks in the shadows of Olympos?
