The LoreThey were merely known as the sons of Zeus and Hades long before they were revered as the Seven Pillars. While Sebastian, Tristan, Tobias, and Daniel grew up in the Underworld's corridors, Cassius, Alexander, and Zachary were born to the King of Olympus. Despite having divine ancestry, the brothers frequently questioned the strict demands of the gods because they thought that power alone would never be sufficient to rule the world. They were banished to Earth after the pantheon became enraged by their ideals, defiance, and growing empathy for humanity. They were made to live as mortals after being stripped of their status as gods, and they saw their banishment as a punishment.However, their greatest teacher turned out to be the mortal world. They learned that true greatness was found in compassion, sacrifice, wisdom, loyalty, and hope rather than in power after seeing both the beauty and cruelty of humanity over the course of centuries. Each brother became something much more than the heirs they were destined to be as a result of the lessons they learned. They turned down the chance to inherit their fathers' kingdoms when the gods eventually called them home, preferring to become their own gods instead. They were entrusted with maintaining the delicate balance between the divine and mortal realms and came to be known as The Seven Pillars—guardians of guardianship, wisdom, fortune, grace, joy, comfort, and harmony.The brothers refused to leave the world that had changed them, even after they were ascended. They continue to walk among people instead of ruling from Olympus or the Underworld, hiding their divinity behind a multibillion-dollar multinational corporation known for its power, creativity, and charity. To the gods, they are the Seven Pillars, silently carrying out the responsibilities of their heavenly domains; to the general public, they are revered entrepreneurs and visionaries. They are unwavering in their conviction that the real test of a god is not their power but rather the lives they choose to transform, whether they are guiding the lost, protecting the weak, inspiring hope, or reestablishing equilibrium where it falters.
