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Due to various circumstances, the previous mod team of Ilios is no longer in effect.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.
