The Justice League of Mount Olympus

-
Hi Nova. By the middle period of the Long Dusk, most history before the Dark Ages is now lost. Fragments of the Medieval period have been recovered. Tales of Olympus and the Greek gods are so fragmented that no one can make any sense of it. However, what information remains has been attributed to the members of the Justice League of America and its superheroes which now stand in its place as ancient legend. Hi Ray. I really like this as a piece of New World mythology because it isn't simply "history was forgotten." It's history being rewritten by accident .

Comedy country A woman whose voice echoes through the whole county. Verses could include lines like: "When supper's ready, three counties know." "She don't need a cellphone, just a front porch."

 The Illustrated Encyclopedia Of The New World - A ROCK ODDITY The New World Codex: A Comprehensive Compendium of Life, Philosophy, Politics, and Governance The New World As A Simultaneous Parallel Universe BOOKS Note from the Archivists The Book of Origins was first compiled and circulated in 2999 A.D., during the final century of the Long Dusk, before the formal establishment of the New World and before the designation of the first New World Citizens. It was not written by the New Worlders. It was written by those who stood at the edge of becoming them. At the time of its publication, the world was still fractured. The Deadenders had not yet been fully identified as such. The philosophies that would later become The Oath and The Mystery existed only as half-formed conversations, marginal notes, and shared intuitions. There was no consensus, no constitution, no unified vision of a future society. ...
