ORGOS

TITANS OF THE NEMETONDEVOS

Orgos is death itself, whom the Romans conflated with
Dis Pater (a Mantle of Hades). He coupled with the Materes
to birth the Nemetondevos, and thus is the ancestor of all
Gauls, mortal and divine. His Underworld, Dubnolissos,
was a miserable place where the dead were stagnant and
forgotten. When Esos bound Orgos into the workings of the
great Wheel, it carried the souls back into The World while
Orgos struggled to break free.

Unfortunately for Orgos, even though the Wheel
stopped spinning when the Nemetondevos fell, his wooden
prison didn’t break. He isn’t entirely powerless, though.
When the Breton people migrated to the region of modern-day
France known then as a part of Armorica and now
as Brittany, they brought their Gods and mythical beings
along. These included the Ankou: a group of regional
psychopomps who ferried Breton souls to the afterlife. As
a powerful Titan, even from his prison Orgos managed to
subjugate some of the Ankou and subvert them into his
service instead, making them his titanspawn that still do
his bidding to this day. These skeletal, scythe-wielding
figures in wide-brimmed hats drive carts to collect the
Gaulish dead who have gone astray; under Orgos’ thumb,
their carts have become a mockery of the wagons devout
Gauls were buried with to ride to Belenos. Orgos’ Ankou
return the collected souls to him, that he might break the
Wheel’s bindings and return Belenos’ realm to his own
control. A Gaulish Scion who offered to help their Breton
counterparts free these titanspawn from Orgos’ dominion
might make steadfast allies in their own quest to restore the
Nemetondevos — not only the Breton Scions themselves,
but the free Ankou who want to rescue their fellows as well.
