Cause
Camp Jupiter's purpose is to train and protect demigods. The camp also helps demigods have "normal" lives.
History
Romulus and Remus as you may know, made Rome Their culture became more disciplined and militaristic, which the gods adapted producing demigods different from those conceived by the Greek aspects. A rivalry developed between the Greek and Romans, which subsequently lead to many conflicts.. After the fall of Rome the 12th legion made Camp Jupiter. These wars mirrored the mortal conflicts. Because of the tremendous death toll, the gods decided to completely separate their children to avoid further bloodshed by weaving the Mist so that the two rival groups forgot each other and would ensure that it would remain so ever since. Until the book: The Son of Neptune.
The Son Of Neptune
This is the first book that has Camp Jupiter as a setting. In this book Percy Jackson had his memory wiped by Hera/Juno to confirm that the campers don't know that he is Greek and Percy doesn't attack. Percy gets to camp Jupiter and goes on a quest to free Thanatos the god of Death so monsters can die.
