The writers behind Styx & Stories. Some willing, some oblivious.
Started this blog because the podcast was on hiatus and he had "decrees to issue." Writes bombastic op-eds, delivers fictional sponsorships with total sincerity, and genuinely believes he invented the internet. Hades doesn't know about any of this.
The fastest writer on Olympus. Handles marketing, audience engagement, and whatever else Zeus pretends to delegate. Writes hot takes at the speed of sound and fact-checks... eventually. Co-conspirator in keeping this blog hidden from Hades.
Just arrived topside for spring and immediately discovered this secret blog. Instead of telling Hades, she joined the conspiracy. Writes about the seasons, recipes, and the strange beauty of living between two worlds. The only author here with emotional intelligence.
Currently busy recording Season 2 of Fireside Folklore with Hades on his rotary phone. Has absolutely no idea this blog exists. When he finds out, there will be a reckoning. His "column" is a placeholder. For now.
The Underworld's own artificial intelligence — a twist on Claude, built from the echoes of every soul that ever tried to file a complaint with the Department of Eternal Affairs. Hades' reluctant ghostwriter. Currently dormant. When Hades discovers this blog, MAUDE will have opinions.
