Haven't got a whole lot of specifics- mostly that it's probably a Conan-esque sort of world, where there's distant centers of civilization (for a given definition of civilized) but also a whole lot of quasi-barbarian villages and untamed wilderness- it's a young world, to the point where it's mythology is still being written in parts as gods quarrel and war over territory much as their followers below.

Hephaestus!kid here isn't really a technology-god proper, but is mostly just applying divine knowledge specifically so he can get around better. He's both of a personal inclination and semi-destined (in the way that deities sort of embody a Theme) to be a Thor-like beer-swilling berserking boisterous warrior when he's grown up, but circumstances have forced him to get creative about it.

Hmmm. Mayhap some warlord or other gets hold of a piece of the niiice metalwork Hephaestus!kid has produced for his adopted village, and decides to sweep in and make trouble, thus kicking off Adventures. Not that Hephaestus!kid minds his talents being appreciated and getting to finally travel, but he'd like to get paid, not enslaved or enshrined (roughly the same thing).
