Persephone & Haides. We know that old tale—or do we? Because the Goddess of Love has a problem. Commerce, domination, and war have begun to rule the Cosmos, leaving Love on the wane. That’s all right. The rapscallion God of Love has a super-duper awesome solution! Let’s orchestrate a love-match across the barrier separating Above from Below and spark new life in a wasteland riddled with monsters and ghosts. Yeah! That’d be fun. So, just how many gods, goddesses, demigods, and primordials does it take to match-make the King of the Dead with the Bringer of Blossomtime? And how many will it take to tear them apart? Short answer: most of them. After all, Persephone’s mother despises Haides, and her father has had a love/hate (mostly hate…okay, fine…complicated) relationship with him for nearly a millennium. Plus, there are those dirty family secrets that most individuals would love to keep buried. But not everybody. So how about you?
