SYMPHONY GUIDE / HELP / LORE / SYMPHONY In play: help symphony. Also symphony guild, media guild, broadcasting, pantheon, lai.Symphony: the guild of everything the city sees, hears, and believes, run by gods who live in the Matrix.
Every Feed
Symphony governs entertainment, fashion, news, gambling, vice, the Matrix, and blood sport. Its patron is Saint Lyra, and full members carry the particle lai.
Symphony owns every feed, every fashion line, and every celebrity. Its broadcast personalities, gladiators, and idols may be the only culture shared across all of Deshret.
The Pantheon
Symphony's executives are beings that live in the Matrix and model themselves on a pantheon from the old world. They love to watch from cyberspace, and they deal with flesh-bound citizens when they feel like it: sponsoring favourites as their "divine patrons" and making extravagant appearances everywhere, from a slum dive bar to a Great House feast.
Seven gods are active. Two more have vanished and their fate is unknown: Zeus, the former CEO, and Hades, who ran finance.
Aphrodite: fashion. Swans and doves.
Ares: physical sports, blood sports, and gyms. The boar and the wolf.
Apollo: television broadcasts and production. Ravens.
Athena: head of security. Owls.
Hera: talent scouting and management. Peacocks.
Dionysus: redacted. Bulls.
Hermes: Matrix infrastructure. The tortoise.Read next: help house drepane, help diving, and help guilds.
