It can easily be converted to Scion First Edition, but the mechanical as- pects of this work are entirely focused on Second Edition. Scion: Origins and Scion: Hero for Second Edition are needed to get the most out of this supplement and use it in your game. It was designed noting the historical and mod- ern issues and bigotry relating to some of the movements related to the Ascended Masters and shaped in a way not to ignore them but to recognize them and have these suppos- edly enlightened figures outright reject such horrors. It was researched through a combination of personal experience and knowledge, academic and online research, interviews with practitioners, and cultural resources. It was a created with a desire to show not only the unique nature of this fairly modern tradition, but also with the hope that others would write up more pantheons of a similar nature thereby provid- ing many more options for Players and Storytellers in their games. Scion is a versatile, open-minded, and global game that respects and loves the religions and cultures it works with, so here’s hoping for more of that from the creative fan community!
