smite lore body count: 10

the pantheon wars comics: zeus (killed by loki), anhur (killed by ares), ao kuang (killed by hel), mercury (killed by loki)

2017 odyssey: 0, maybe 2. questionable statuses: scylla (might be dead, it doesn’t specify if susano’s strike actually killed her), arachne (Odyssey 2017, ”crumpled like a crushed insect”)

2018 odyssey: chaac (killed by ares), he bo (killed by ares), anubis (killed by ares)

hera’s odyssey: 0. technically helican and pryzarias’s souls are still there but they have no free will anymore and were merged into 1 (turned into argus by hera), 

legend of camelot: guinevere, mordred

council of the gods: osiris

new moons: chaac again(?? it mentions that chaac was left alone to fight cthulhu and susano doesnt give an answer to the question asking about chaac’s status)

dawn of babylon: ra????? unsure. he was thrown into the abyss

other notes: nassa was killed by the devs and her plotline was scapped in favor of the pantheon wars, ra was blinded but he got better, izanami vandalized ganesha’s palace, jorm got slapped around; zeus, chaac, anhur, ao kuang, and mercury are alive again as of odyssey: underworld. but chaac might’e died again, idk if tsukuyomi killed amaterasu or if she just ran away after losing again

Nu Wa - Chinese Guardian of Heaven

When two warring Gods shattered the World Pillar, Heaven and Earth dangerously shifted, and Armageddon was unleashed. Firestorms, floods, and bloodthirsty monsters ravaged the land and stole the lives of more than can be counted. In ages past, Nu Wa, Guardian of Heaven and Earth, hand-crafted all people from clay. They were her creations, her children, her responsibility.

As the Earth shuddered and broke, and the skies turned black with ash, Nu Wa forged five mystic stones, one for each of the elemental forces of nature: Earth, Water, Fire, Wood, and Metal. With the power of these stones, she slew a gargantuan tortoise, severed its legs, and raced to the broken World Pillar. One leg she used to prop the Heavens aloft and with the elemental stones, she sealed it in place. Balance between Heaven and Earth was restored, but the world was never the same. Skies cleared, but the stars had shifted. Seas retreated, but rivers drained westward. Everything leaned, but the End was averted.

In the years that followed, Nu Wa and her brother, Fu Xi, took the throne of China. They ruled with wisdom and ushered in an age of recovery and prosperity, for which she is adored and worshipped to this day.

Yet, the skies grow dark once more and chaos threatens to engulf the land. Gods from all Pantheons have chosen Earth as a battleground, trading blows with the same thoughtless fervor that destroyed the World Pillar so long ago. Determined to prevent such calamity from repeating, Nu Wa has summoned the elemental stones once more. For she is the Guardian of Heaven and Earth; all mankind are her creations, her children, her responsibility.

smite lore predictions:

so tiamat has showed up and she’s actually kind of nice! however i think the whole story with her is that ares, pissed she stole his thunder, is going to vandalize her palace and make her mega cranky. making her go sicko villain mode or something like that. zeus, who dislikes tiamat, is going to be so proud of his son for disrespecting a woman and pats ares on the back for the first time in his life. ares cries.

The King is Coming

The reign of Zeus has ended. The horrors of Ragnarok have come and gone. But the Battleground still bears its scars, and a void remains at the seat of Olympus.

Without divine order there is chaos. When there is chaos, only destruction follows.

The Battleground needs a ruler, now more than ever...

Thanatos - Greek Hand of Death

Inevitably, all mortals must die. They cling to life with fevered desperation, for death is a cold unknown, filled with uncertainty and bleak, everlasting finality. Some accept fate with grace, others are dragged, kicking and screaming, though in truth, no mortal would go to Hades willingly. They are reaped by the nightmarish God of Death, whose grim visage strikes strange against the gleeful satisfaction he feels at performing his work. Thanatos is the very face of death.

Yet, to Thanatos, Mortals are easy prey. Their end is preordained, harvesting them but a game to pass the eons, but a God, a being beyond the mortal coil, now there is a creature Thanatos eyes with greedy longing. He despises the immortality other Gods covet. To him, it is a perversion and defiance of his very purpose.

But can a God truly die? As the Heavens clash and immortal blood spills on the Earth, Thanatos hungers to find out. War is but the preamble to death, a battlefield of souls rent from their bodies, listlessly waiting to be taken by the God of Death. A war between Gods, a war of this magnitude can mean only one thing. Thanatos is about to be very, very busy.
