# Welcome to Theros
}}
The caprice of the gods. The destiny of heroes. Great journeys into monster-infested wilds, and mythic odysseys to the edge of the world and back. These elements of adventure fill the realms of Theros, a new setting for your Dungeons & Dragons campaign to explore.
The roots of Theros lie in the myths of ancient Greece, tales dominated by gods, heroes, and monsters. This world was created as a setting for the Magic: the Gathering trading card game, explored in card sets beginning in 2013. The lands of Theros serve as an example of how to take inspiration from real-world mythology and adapt it into a world built from the ground up for fantasy adventures.
:::
{{tablet
##### Tablets of Lore
*Mythic Odysseys of Theros* has a really cool type of note used for important lore. These are a nice addition for world settings, but can be used for creator's notes, alternative options, or they can completely replace regular notes.

## BIG Tablets of Lore
Furthermore, these long, full-page tablets can be used for long paragraphs or entire sections with subheaders. To turn a tablet into a large tablet like this one, just add the wide tag to the tablet class, as shown above.
And since I have little else to say about these bits of text, here is a (very thematically appropriate) block of "lorem ipsum" text.
### Lorem Ipsum
Mollis aliquam ut porttitor leo a diam. Mi ipsum faucibus vitae aliquet nec ullamcorper. A erat nam at lectus. Eget mauris pharetra et ultrices neque. In mollis nunc sed id semper risus. Duis ut diam quam nulla porttitor massa id neque.
Id ornare arcu odio ut sem. Mauris ultrices eros in cursus turpis massa tincidunt dui. Viverra justo nec ultrices dui sapien. Posuere lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. Quis auctor elit sed vulputate mi sit amet mauris. Vitae tempus quam pellentesque nec nam aliquam sem et. Duis at consectetur lorem donec massa. Est ante in nibh mauris cursus mattis molestie a iaculis. Euismod in pellentesque massa placerat duis ultricies lacus sed.

##### Pillars and Images
Here are some interesting ways to use images. The above "pillars" can contain two images, each with their own caption, if you wish. The syntax is really weird for those, and you need to include a separate "spacer" class to make sure all the elements below won's overlap. Just be sure to read the notes written in the code above!
Below is a simple image hosted on Imgur (cropped using stains from [**/u/flamableconcrete**](https://www.reddit.com/user/flamableconcrete/)), but the caption is a style specific to Mythic Odysseys of Theros.

In fairness, the giant had just been awakened. Still, not everyone would be able to bring down a brute twice the size of a city temple, even ifit was in a stupor, so I guess I am a hero. That's not to say I'm the greatest hero or would even be remembered once I fell, but I would not turn away being called "Aesrius, the hero." I am stronger than others of my age and have always been able to easily master all manner of weapons, although for challenge I prefer to use my own fists in combat.
But I boast too much. In truth, I am one of many who are blessed with the might of Iroas, children of devout parents to whom the God of Victory has given the strength to serve and protect the people. Everyone always said I was born a hero.
—Matt Knicl, "The Hero of Iroas"

# Gods of Theros
}}
A pantheon of fifteen gods guides religious life on Theros. From the sun and agriculture to death and passage into the Underworld, the gods oversee the forces of nature and the most important aspects of mortal life. These gods are quite real to the people of Theros, who see them moving across the sky at night and sometimes encounter them face to face. Thus, most people perform rituals and devotions that honor various gods, hoping to win their favor and stave off their wrath. They tell and retell the stories of the gods' deeds—even as they watch those stories continue to play out in the vastness of the night sky.

What is the farthest explored point on the known world?" Elspeth asked.
"In the east, beyond the leonin lands, there's another forest," Daxos told her. "Larger even than the Nessian Forest. No one knows how far it goes."
"What's to the west beyond the sea?" Elspeth asked.
"The world ends at the waterfall where Kruphix's Tree grows," he explained. "The sea falls off the edge and into the void below."
"My home was beyond your infmite forest," she said.

# Creating Theros Adventures
}}
As exemplified by the labors of Anthousa, the exploits
of Haktos the Unscarred, the wondrous inventions of Dalakos, and Elspeth's escape from the Underworld, the heroes of Theros chart their own fates—and so will the player characters in your campaign.
What adventures might Heliod's champions undertake? What villains and monsters are associated with Phenax? How might adventurers get entangled in divine schemes? This chapter explores these questions, providing abundant advice, tools, and maps for players to create their own exciting stories.

{{quote,author
The sun god reached out and put his hand upon Kytheon's shoulder. "You proved your worth as a warrior in the attack on your polis, but it is time to prove yourself worthy to be my champion." He reached up to the sunlit sky, and the light coalesced around his fist. It elongated and took the shape of a spear that resembled the god's own weapon.
"With this spear, destroy the titan. This is what I task you with. This is your ordeal."
Igitheon gaped, both at the spear and at the task the god had set before him.
—Ari Levitch, "Gideon: Kytheon lora of Akros"
