Rise of the Argonauts Peek #1

RPGVault takes a first peek at the upcoming Rise of the Argonauts, in the form of an introduction to Ares.

Classically, Ares is the god of war and battle. Because of this, when you see him represented in most modern media, he all too often he comes across as very flat and one-dimensional. He just wants to stab people in the face – over and over. I get it. Next?

We really wanted to lend depth and richness to each of our gods. As such, Ares is more than just the berserker. In Rise of the Argonauts, his followers believe that instinct is our truest guide in all walks of life. Politics, poetry, debate and the like are the breeding grounds of deception and cowardice. We are most truly alive when our actions and thoughts are as one. And what better place for that than on the battlefield? Beyond the familiar domains of war and combat, Ares is the god of focus, determination and persistence. Men and women honor him through stalwart courage in the face of overwhelming adversity, and bold choices made without hesitation.
