Changes in the Guard
Although they are technically Olympians, Hades did not hold a throne on Olympus before the conclusion of the Second Titan War and Hestia renounced her throne when Dionysus was made a god to avoid a conflict between the council. To give amnesty and recognition to them, thrones were granted to several among the minor gods. Each of the Olympian councillors are represented by a cabin at Camp Half-Blood.
