Olym (オリン Orin) is a family exclusive to Grandwalker Nexuses, which premiered in BS44.
Olym is a family that is based on Greek mythology, hence all characters in this family are Greek deities. While other Grandwalker families didn't get much exposition to their personalities and backstory, Olym's flavor text speaks much of their Grandwalkers' stories and relationships, most of these stories being by-the-book adaptations of their actual tales on real Greek mythos.
In the card lore of the Grand Advent Saga, Olym's Grandwalkers allied with Lolo and Alex's forces in a war of defense against the Egytian legions' invasion of Grand-Lolo. However, after Egyt's invasions were successfully repelled, Olym's ruler and supreme deity Zeus, who previously merged with Lolo to become Zeus-Lolo in a desperate attempt to vanquish Ra, declared war on the entire Divine World and desired to unify and rule the universe with an iron fist. With Olym becoming an villainous force in the Ultra Advent Saga, Olym's leadership and armies became divided into two factions: loyalists who fought alongside Zeus-Lolo and defectors who joined Alex.
After Zeus-Lolo was separated back into his original components and Dionysus, the wire-puller behind the everything that transpired, was defeated in a suicide attack by Grandwalker Ares, Zeus went into self-exile and his right-hand Hermes took the position as Olym's acting supreme deity and leader. A while after Zeus has retired, despite being rather reluctant to take the pose, Apollon eventually inherited the position of the chief of Olym. His world, Delpo-Nairaka, became the center of Olym.
In Rebirth era, the missing one among the twelve Olympians, Grandwalker Demeter, finally appeared indirectly in lore. She sent the Grandstone Nexuses to the past, which eventually helped Vina and Alex in the fight against Lombardia in Fragment-Hexa, the past version of Grand-Lolo twisted by Chronos' troops. It is also rumored that the Divine World itself was created by Demeter.
In Contract Saga: True, Grandwalker Hades, which was hinted all the way back in Ultra Advent Saga lore as the one who passed on the Nether world to Dionysus before he left for the outside world, made an appearance before Dan, who travelled to the Divine World to look for clues about Contract Grandwalker Nexuses and the Contract Mediation Agency. It is also revealed that there are a group of ancient Olym deities, called the Primordial Deities (原初神群), with Uranos in the lead, that was sealed away by the former supreme god of Oylm, Zeus.
The main illustrator of the Oylm faction is Adachi Yosuke (安達洋介). All the primary illustrations of the Grandwalkers and their Avatars are drawn by him.
