With the new lore docs updates, we got new information
1- It is possible to take over a god’s authority through a (for now) unknown power, which seems to pretty much kill the god in the process (through their soul still wanders around)
2- An unknown entity freed Prometheus from getting his liver chomped for eternity and taught him this power
Ok, based on some stuff that we saw in Makrinaos and the fact that Hades was the last mf the Peacekeeper would fight and was the actual big bad guy behind Acheron, I pretty much think he IS that entity.
Other than that, we know that he created the absorption curse and funky ways to use it (like destroying the sea curses, which needs to have the absorption curse), so Hades should pretty much be the one who knows about the Funny power stealing from coworkers mechanics.
Now, the Order
I have some believes that the Seekers of Light are either the pre-alpha Order of Aesir or have some connection to it. And they seemed to be VeEeErY keen to try to reach Hades and, probably because they are dumb and may have mistaken themselves, Chaos.
‘‘But why would the Order want to contact Hades and Chaos?’’
Simply, to be able to learn about that funky god-job snatching thing so they could reach peak magic, and since Chaos usually appear when big magic chernobyl happens or another hitler is born, they probably thought ‘‘Hmmm, maybe it its the responsible for making magic a big thing’’.
In other words, they wanted to learn how to take a god’s authority so they could reach Apotheosis. Which basically means that you become a god yourself. And now since the divine council has a lot of empty chairs, they probably think they could try to take that spots for themselves
Anyways, since they probably ended up pretty much failing for what we could see (get alzheimer’ed, ghost bozos), they kept on making some researches and probably got the idea that only gods (or the ones with blood/soul or whatever) of one could reach that. Thats why they snatched the M.C., Morden and Tucker to do the experiments and are looking for other people like them.
Anyway, i should go to sleep now since I got a job that makes me want to kill myself so… discuss about it and how anything I’ve said make no sense at all
