I still think that Nut will be the last god of year 10. and have her be voiced by Lore Lady. That would be perfect for a finale

The Rod of Tahuti also belongs to Thoth. Tahuti being one of the foreign names given to him, just like Thoth, which was given by the greeks. His true name is Djehuti, "he who is like the ibis".

Caduceus is Hermes/Mercury's staff, and it's very simillar to Baron's, minus the skull.

The Soul Gem's design is a reference to the Philosopher's Stone from Fullmetal Alchemist, however, it's first mention come from a real world greco-egyptian magical papirus.

Now that we just received Charon, it'd be cool to have Tristan, Typhon and Sekhmet as playable characters in the future.

Vulcan going on a full rant when killing Chang'e is a funny interaction aswell

[Weebfox]

The humorous tone of hirez combined with actual mythology makes for great interactions

[dwell]

I also love how many of the characters referenced by other gods or items could very well join the game in future updates. People like Sekhmet (potentially as a stance dancer with Hathor?), Odysseus, Nut, Nephthys, even Asclepius would be super cool to eventually see in Smite.

I’m so glad that someone finally decided to pay attention to the lore and easter eggs of the game, cause I feel like for the most part mythology and lore were the main deciding factor for majority of the players when choosing smite over other mobas

More item references:

Asi is a reference to the personification of the first weapon ever created, called Asi, according to Hindu Epics

As someone who is a part of the IORUBÁ religion also known as CANDOMBLÉ here in Brazil, it warms my heart to see hirez shining a light on it.

The religion was born in Africa hundreds of year ago and was passed, changed, interpret and modified in many ways.

OLORUM is the creator of everything, including the universe and life itself. And yes we don't even mention his name nor can we begin to understand his magnitude.

The ORIXÁS (SAINTS in Portuguese) are the ones we culture, they are OLURUNS creation and path to us. There are so many i could not list them all.

My part of the religion comes from ANGOLA, we have 16 orixás Yemoja being one of them.

Every person has a orixá on there had, someone who guides them and shapes them. Mine funny enough is Yemoja and nsumbo (the orixá of health and sickness, prosperity and misery, know to have taken all the sickness from earth and carried to the deep, dying on the process and emerging with all the cures)

I could be here all day... But one last thing, remember how small we are, and how there is always someone or something magnitudes greater than us.

"I know that i know nothing" Acknowledging your ignorance is a virtue.

You mean to tell me that a bigass ship just smashed into Cthulhu and knocked him out again in his original story?

[cougareinfeldt]

The Cthulhu and Heimdall interaction is also a nod to the ingame lore as well.

[SaiyanGamer]

I find Aphrodite and Vulcan's lines to be somewhat humorous, since in the actual lore, Greek and Roman exist at the same time. When Greek and Roman Gods interact with each other, they refer to one another by their own respective pantheon equivalent. For example, in the Pantheon War book, Athena refers to Mercury as "Hermes" and Mercury refers to Athena as "Minerva". Neither of them correct the other and know exactly who they're talking to.
Then again, Hercules still refers to Hades as such in-game, rather than calling him "Pluto". Same with Apollo to Mercury. And Classic Athena to Vulcan.

[whatitisorwhatsup]

Still think they should more Eldritch horrors from the Cthulhu mythos. Yeah each and every single one of the great old ones and outer gods can solo all the gods but still it be cool to have them.

[Erebus_Noxia]

There is also the ring of Hecate and it’s relation to the Greek Goddess of witchcraft and necromancy Hecate

[FalcrusArts]

Tiamat voice is Hot and intimidating at the same time

[StinkeeCheese-xpfp]

I love how you used the album cover from Twilight of the Thunder God to explain the Thor and Jorm lore

[jettblade]

These are really neat. It just shows how deep the creators go into connecting the myths for their vision. I do hope to get more direct banter and taunts as the game goes on, especially if its cross pantheon stuff like Cthulhu and Heimdalr where its kind of appropriate.

[akita]

Bonus points to you for putting Amon Amarth cover art as an Easter egg lmao

[ranmashiah]

You forgot Bancroft's Talon and Brawler's Beatstick. Both referencing Hi-rez former game called "Global Agenda". Bancroft was a character in that game, while Beatstick was an item you needed to get from an enemy called "Brawler".

[markmcgee]
