Promethean: The Created
Promethean: The Created is a game about stolen lives. Prometheans are soulless corpses animated by a mysterious, alchemical force — the Divine Fire — stolen from the gods. They wander the dark places of the world, seeking what their creators denied them: humanity. They are pilgrims. The Created. They wander the world, sometimes alone, sometimes in the blessed company of their own kind, driven by memories of events and facts they never knew, all in the service of one Great Work… to be human.
Promethean: The Created was first published in 2006, introducing a supernatural heretofore unseen by fans of the Chronicles of Darkness. Promethean has now been freshly reanimated from the remains of the old as a second edition including the Firestorm Chronicle, which tells new tales and builds on lessons learned in the past decade, including new Transmutations, a clearer guide to the Pilgrimage, and a new antagonist in the form of greedy alchemists.

They have been with us since the beginning, adjusting and guiding Humanity’s destiny. Often quiet and subtle, sometimes terrifying and awe-inspiring, the strangers promote change; distillation and entropy. They have been frequently mistaken for angels, and religious alchemists named them qashmallim, the Dominions. Of all the World of Darkness’ inhabitants, Prometheans know them best, as … Read more
This past week, we got an email from a guy who found a particular resonance in Promethean. He’d been diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome (a form of high-functioning autism), and his story of how he’d struggle for years to fit in with people struck us as particularly poignant. You can read the email here. If you don’t … Read more
Hey, sorry about the hiatus. Here’s all the Promethean news that’s fit to print: Last week, Michelle wrapped up editing of the Firestorm Anthology. This anthology is a little different from the ones for the God-Machine Chronicle and Vampire, and for the upcoming ones for Werewolf and Mage, because unlike those lines, Prometheans doesn’t have a surplus of existing fiction to draw on. Also, … Read more

In Promethean first edition, Created characters could return from death once. The character’s Azoth would flare (and the trait dropped to … Read more
No two Prometheans have the same Pilgrimage. The journey to the New Dawn takes a Promethean through multiple Refinements, and each of those Refinements has multiple lessons about humanity. Those lessons are called Roles, facets of humanity as expressed through the practical philosophy of a Refinement. A Promethean must master at least one Role in each … Read more
