I hope this clears some things up.

I get asked a lot if Earth-27 and NeOlympus are connected. The answer is kinda... Sorta... Not really... But yes. Confusing? Let us see if we can rectify that a bit.

The answer to the question of their connectivity depends on where your perspective lies.

NeOlympus itself is not built upon the idea that the gods came from a world where there was an immortal caveman roaming around or that Zeus had sired Wonder Woman, therefore in "NeOlympus" itself, there is no connection. At no time in the course of the events of that story do I intend to have the events or characters of E27 be referenced (unless I throw in a cheeky easter egg) and should you read about characters like Circe, assume that is closer to the traditional mythical character and not Wonder Woman's old foe. Likewise, there is an Atlantis in NeOlympus, but you won't find Arthur Curry and Mera ruling there, instead you will find Poseidon or Triton on the throne.

Yet... In Earth-27's continuity, the past events of NeOlympus did happen and the Gods of Olympus did retire from Earth to take up residence in Elysium, but some gods like Zeus, Ares, and more still visit Earth and have some resources still invested in Earth and its survival or exploitation.

So, at this time it is fair to assume that in my NeOlympus stories, Earth-27 does not really exist; but in Earth-27, the stories of NeOlympus are more or less canon, especially in regards to the events that transpired before the gods left Earth.

I hope you can follow that. Thanks.

Follow-Up Question: Are the Neonomikon and Clio's Accountings then considered Earth-27 canon?
Answer: Yes, until an Oracle File, ObMod, journal, or VOX Box supersedes them, the events and details as written by Clio, Muse of History, could be considered canon to Earth-27.

Follow-Up Question: Will the Gods be getting Oracle Files or Deluxe Oracle Files?
Answer: Ares and Zeus already have an Oracle File so the short answer is yes. The long answer really depends on if there is an interest in such things

So essentially, everything is connected as per normal DC canon (in regards to the Gods' history and interactions - but Roy's Earth-27 version) up until they left E-27, and everything since then is completely separate.

What about the Monitor? Is he aware of Elysium?
