Many thanks,
Chrysaor Team

Schedule has been updated and pre-orders are currently slated to open late January 2026.

Feel free to DM or email us for questions. We will not disclose any information about the team restructure besides what is pertinent to assure everyone that the project is stable and safe.

New Team (links in doc):

Akano - Art Mod, Promo Artist
Arsanders - Formatting Mod
Eri - Writing Mod
Luna - Organization Mod
Pretzel - Social Media Mod
Scarlettic - Graphics Mod
Seasonal Tea - Finance & Prod/Ship Mod

Rebranding: we won't be starting over from scratch, but the current team felt this was an appropriate action to take for the sake of not using the old team’s input and work without their presence. Going forward, colloquially “Phainon Zine” will be officially known as “Chrysaor”

Due to various circumstances, the previous mod team of Ilios is no longer in effect. While some previous mods have stayed, there is effectively a new team in place to now take care of this zine.
