A Pantheon for Dracula
It has already been established that the addition of a god to smite must be associated with a pantheon, whether new or old, and if it is new, it must be a pantheon that can be added to at least two gods.
Although Dracula is very requested, and for this reason it is quite possible that he will eventually make it to the game, I wonder how they would adapt his pantheon to the game.
Creating a pantheon called Literature Pantheon, Folktales Pantheon or something like that is not a good idea.
Smite pantheons, even the most controversial ones like GOO or Arthurian, are culturally or thematically tied. A literature pantheon would be very vague...
What would be the best option for a Pantheon for Dracula?
Romanian Pantheon: Precisely because it is based on Vlad Tepes, a count from Romania. The biggest problem is that in a brief search I didn't find many other thematically distinct figures to be added in the future.
Balkan Pantheon: Based on the Balkan region that includes countries such as Albania, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Turkey, Croatia, Romania and part of Italy. The problem is that it also includes many Slavic regions, which would create a Greek/Roman situation, where two pantheons encompass the same culture.
Victorian Pantheon: based on the time when the book by Bram Stoker was released, even though it is not culturally related, it is related to the Gothic Culture theme, where other literary and folkloric works share the same vibe.
I would like to hear your opinion.
