Scent the Divine:
Mythos Motif
Arcane and esoteric inscriptions and intoning unspeakable words draw the Gods attention and request their blessing.
Mythos Signature Purview: Arcane Calculus
Knowledge is the lifeblood of the Mythos. Within arcane texts, written in blood on paper tanned from flesh, sit the arcane words of power. All it takes is a promise to serve for the Mythos to grant the knowledge and ability to tap into that power. The Mythos accept all manner of worship, from praise and sacrifice and unwavering devotion to total indifference in a selfish power grab, and in return they impart only a fraction of the power and intellect they contain. All this serves to bring the Mythos closer to The World and allow the Great Old Ones to breach the veil that separates their worlds from this one.
Arcane Calculus Innate Power
When performing analysis, research, or surveying investigation actions, you gain +1 Enhancement. You can ignore up to 1 Complication from such actions that would lead you to misinterpret the information you gain on the action.
Mythos Pantheon
Humanity vs. Nihilism
Mythos Scions know humanity’s efforts are all in vain. Whether they’re doomed or ascend to Godhood, everything is fruitless. Yet, there is a drive for knowledge to fight against the hopelessness that the next discovery may change the course of the universe or provide one more good day.
