THE YORUBA GODS

So, at the end of the book, we learn that Olujime (I'll be calling him Jamie, because it's slightly shorter than calling him by his actual name) is the son of a Yoruba god. That raises questions. My first question is: will there be a new series about the Yoruba gods? I mean, it would be sort of dissatisfying if Riordan mentioned a new pantheon of gods and then didn't talk about them more at length. That brings me to my second question. If the Yoruba gods do get their own series, will Jamie be the main character, will he be a companion to the main character, or will he even be featured at all? Finally, here's my last question. Who IS the father of Jamie, anyways? I looked at the Yoruba gods, and the one that seems the most likely is Eshu. His nickname is "the Hot Fire," and he's also involved in many other ways with fire. That could explain Jamie's fiery powers. Eshu also has a club, which explains Jamie's metal club thing. I just hope Riordan releases more information about this interesting new pantheon.
