Hephaestus, power of smiths and makers, is the son of [[Hera]] and only Hera. She created him from her own body when she found how [[Zeus]] was deceiving her with other women.

The two later reconciled, and Hephaestus is now a welcome member of the pantheon.

Hephaestus, power of smiths and makers, is the son of Hera and only Hera. She created him from her own body when she found how Zeus was deceiving her with other women. In anger, Zeus hurled Hephaestus down to the Prime Material Plane, where the young young god landed badly, and was thereafter lame.

He crafts the tools they use, and makes Zeus' thunderbolts even better than the Cyclopes did when they were at their peak.
