Goddess Gambit Book Three of "The Thrice-Cursed Godly Glories" Only
three weapons have any history of effectiveness against Master
Devas, the Shining Ones of myth, legend and more than a few
polytheistic faiths on the Whole Earth even to this day. These are
the Trigregos Talismans: a curved blade, a looking glass that
doubles as a shield as well as an inter-dimensional prison, and a
crown/tiara made up of glowing-red apparent rubies or blood stones.
All are actually composed of Brainrock-Gypsium, the subtle matter
remnants of the Big Bang's Primordial Godhead. In these three
forms, this Godstuff has the potential to kill the Inner Earth's
extant devil-gods. Just as importantly for many, having them will
force devils to stay well away from you. As recounted in "Feeling
Theocidal," Book One of the trilogy, ever since Chrysaor Attis used
them in an effort to eradicate his Great God of a father,
Thrygragos Varuna Mithras, on Thrygragon they have been known as
the Thrice-Cursed Godly Glories. As recounted in "The 1000 Days of
Disbelief," Book Two of the trilogy, the Death's Head Hellion, the
Contagion Collectors of Renaissance-era Europe and the Trigregos
Titaness each very nearly succeeded in wiping out devil-worshippers
throughout the Hidden Continent of Sedon's Head using them. The
Godstuff making up the Godly Glories is both transmutable and
teleportive. No matter how long lost they've been since circa 5500
YD (Year of the Dome, also the Sedon Sphere, what's been separating
the Inner from the Outer Earth since the Genesea of Year Zero),
finding one should lead you between-space to the other two. Pass
forward to 5980. Not surprisingly, when one of them finally shows
up again, it suddenly seems like nearly everyone wants all three of
them. Nergal Vetala is the Blood Queen of Hadd, the Land of the
Ambulatory Dead. A Moon Goddess, once the most fecund of Master
Devas, she's the lone devic vampire; has been since before the
historic 1000 Days of Disbelief. For 35 years she has been unable
to prevent the encroachment of the Living on her realm, the Land of
the Ambulatory Dead. Then her soldier falls out of the sky and
she's back in the pink again - as in arterial. But that's hardly
enough for her. As of wary of contacting them as she is personally,
there's no doubt in her mind that, thusly armed, her loyal soldier
will become her unstoppable champion, the Trigregos Titan. At stake
is much more than merely Hadd. At stake is the mastery of devils,
the gods and goddesses of not just the Living, and, with it,
mastery over the entire Hidden Headworld as well as the balance of
the planet beyond the Cathonic Dome from whence he hailed. And so
he does. Unstoppable, though, remains to be seen. Until now
everyone who plays a Trigregos Gambit loses.

Thrygragos Varuna Mithras offers his two Great God brothers,
Thrygragos Lazareme and Thrygragos Byron, the option of henotheism,
with him as the top god amongst the top gods on the Hidden
Continent of Sedon's Head. If they refuse his offer, he promises to
obliterate them. They refuse. The ensuing Theomachy constitutes the
bulk of the action in "Feeling Theocidal," an Anheroic Fantasy
novel featuring Jim McPherson's PHANTACEA Mythos.
