Currently we are working on making a Mythology based Magic set. It is still in the brainstorming proccess, but before long the details will be posted here.
The block and first set will be called Mythos.
We have a rough draft of the story, written by Psychoburner now. A big thank you to him for writing it all out.
There are two realms that exist side by side. One of the realms is Gaia. The people of Gaia live in organized, self governed city-states. Politics is a critical part of Gaian life. (read; White, Blue, and the mental side of black) Gaia is a plane that is ruled by an all powerful group of twelve gods. The twelve gods live in a massive city called Olympus. Olympus exists partially on the top of the highest mountain in Gaia.
The other plane is called Midgard. The plane of Midgard is ruled by a loose association of divine beings that live in constant vigil against the Giants. The gods are called the Aesir, and they live in the massive city of Asgard. There are three giant tribes. There are the mountain giants, ruled by Utgard-Loki, the fire giants, ruled by Surtur, and the ice giants, ruled by Thrym. The Midgardians tend to be aligned closer to red, green, and the death-related side of black.
However, for some unexplained reason, the planes of Gaia and Midgard suddenly overlap. This sudden planar overlay causes an immediate uproar in the two groups of gods.
Ares goes out, and starts the war. His inhuman cruelty shocks the Aesir into believing the Olympians are wholly evil. The war continues for about four years.
One day, however, Ares meets Tyr in personal combat. Tyr, being taller and stronger, defeats Ares in personal combat. When Ares returned to Zeus, the king was enraged. Ares had gotten most of his men killed because he ran off to fight Tyr.
Athena was then put in charge of the Gaian defense. (this series of events is important. The Aesir need a reason to fight the Olympians, and the Olympians need a reason to fight the Aesir. I figured Ares was evil enough to start a war on his own)
Athena begins to push the Aesir's troops back. At one point, she finds herself in the middle of a Midgard field hospital. There, she discovers Balder healing both Midgard AND Gaia's troops. She then figures out that they aren't so evil after all. She and Balder discuss everything, and agree to talk to their kings about a truce....
End of First Set
Beginning of Second Set
The sudden fusion between Gaia and Midgard proved sufficient to open the gates of Tartarus. The Titans escaped, and started randomly killing troops on both sides.
Loki goes to Utgard-Loki, Thrym, and Surtur to attempt a pact. He then goes to the Titans, and a secret pact between the Titans and the Giants is formed.
Loki discovers that Balder and Athena have been discussing peace. He knows that if the war ends, the two sides would be strong enough to stop the Giants and the Titans.
At this point, Frigga has already extracted an oath from all things, so Balder is essentially invincible. (this happens between the first and second set). Anyway, the usual happens; Loki gives the mistletoe to Hoder, and Hoder throws the sprig straight through Balder's heart, killing him.
In a rage, Odin puts Hoder on trial. Hoder confesses that Loki gave him the mistletoe, and the hunt for Loki is on.
Forseti, Balder's son, is dispatched to the Olympians to ask for time to mourn Balder. (Forseti is the norse god of Justice, and he could be made into an awesome card). The Olympians grant the short time needed for the funeral. Athena then talks to Forseti before he leaves, and after a short talk of Zeus, he is sent home with an offer of peace.
Odin agrees, Balder's funeral is held, and the newly fused realms enter a five year peace.
End of Second Set
Beginning of Third set
The third set opens with an attack by the Titans/Giants alliance. This attack is initially repelled by the combined forces of the gods (who are seperate groups of gods). However, they free Loki, Fenrir, and Jormungand(midgard serpent). They also summon the dead from Niflheim and Hel to fight.
In response, the Olympians and Aesir tap into their resources of dead heroes, and Ragnarok begins. The war rages throughout the combined world, and no end is seen.
They slowly discover the reason for the fusion. The two planes each have a god that was fused to the plane, (much the same way Yawgmoth and Gaea were in the Magic universe). Apparently, the two gods, named Ymir and Terra, are growing inceasingly weak. This is because the amount of magic that is required to maintain the gods' hold on the planes is too immense for Ymir and Terra to handle.
In order to solve this problem, Odin and Zeus each begin a ritual in which they infuse the plane with magic. Many gods (actually, most of them), die in the battle. Odin is killed before the ritual is complete, and Zeus is forced to finish it alone, which kills him.
The infusion works, and grants the Aesir and Olympians power. They cut the Titans and Giants off from the mana of the plane, and easily drive them off.
Most of the major gods on both sides are dead; Odin, Zeus, Thor, Tyr, Loki, Ares, Apollo, Freyr, Aphrodite, and Freya.
The two groups of gods, scattered by the war, are then forced to rebuild their shattered world.

Charlie Donaldson over at Infinity was kind enough to make us these cool banners for all members of Mythos to use. If you use either of them remember to give him credit.
First post wooot!!!
Nice thread.
Oasis if not sign me up as n you be in more than one clan.
If not sign me up as a friend.
-I like pirates and selkies YARRR!!!!
My dad is from Malta!
I will be a friend but...............
I am from Malta. This being a small country, where was he from?
Sorry for digressing Oasis, but maybe I could post in about Maltese myths and legends; some are quite interesting though generally revolving around religious themes.
I hope you new guild grows as fast as the Izzet one did at points, you presence will be sorely missed. Friend me!

they hear something someone said: "how did it come to this?"

As a crazy mythology buff and freak (Mainly Greek and Persian), I must insist you make me a friend.
Though at the same time I'm apprehensive at the site of yet another new clan in an already crowded forum.

TFE, other clans disturb you? Maybe it is better not to be so tedious with this problem? People want to make clans, and as far as it makes them happy, I don't see the point scold.

Shhh, I was just messing around.
It'll all work out anyway, the needless clans die out eventually.

O.K., I am sorry for bursting out. I am eating danish cookies now and it's allright.
By the way, all the clans are like... hm, hamsters. Needless, but funny
And just like hamsters most die out after a few months.
At least it's not yet another guild clan, this clan actually looks pretty interesting and cool.

Hey oasis, i like the new clan, i've always loved mythology, so friend me up! Good luck with the clan, and the izzet will always be behind you. If this clan fails (which i'm sure it won't, but just in case), you are always welcome back into the izzet, and i would be for your re-leadership, or at least automatical high mage-ness.
I wouldnt worry about it Oasis, it hasn't even been half a day yet, and you've got 2 weeks to get your members, and this seems like a cool clan. Plus, as much as they are cool, at least the older ones, like the izzet, boros, and dimir, i'm pretty sure people are somewhat tired of guild clans popping up, so people are bound to find this clan interesting.
Nice original idea for a clan. That's very interesting and I hope you get many active members. I am a mythology fan myself, but I already belong to House Dimir. You could put me down as a friend, though.
Help has come in the form of a bit of basic algebra. I feel that it'll shed some light on your problem here.
Basically:
S + T = W
...S in this case stands for 'spam' and the T stands for 'light trolling'. And the W? That stands for 'Warning'. I love math. -- {mikeyG}
