Skins[]
Thunder Goddess Cassia
- Backstory: Cassia, deity of thunder and leader of the pantheon, assumes many forms, but most know her as an imposing warrior, clad in spotless bronze and armed with javelins of lightning.
Divine Herald Tracer
- Backstory: The divine fury of this celestial herald descends with blinding speed upon those who displease her, though she is not a vengeful god, preferring to protect the weak as they make their weary way down tortuous roads.
Mounts[]
Pegasus
- Backstory: In the majority of situations, a horse with wings is a strict upgrade over a traditional horse, though fitting into confined spaces is not one of them.
Cerberus
- Backstory: This foul-breathed beast guards the realm of the underworld with jaws that have relieved many would-be heroes of their fragile mortal souls.

Development[]
The Myth skin pack came together thanks to a diverse set of influences and several years on the backlog. A concept skin for Uther, called “Uthor” after the Nordic God Thor, was part of the inspiration. But once the art team translated the concept to Cassia with a lightning bolt for a weapon, the full event was finally born.
“We were thinking, wouldn’t it be cool to see Cassia with a Zeus skin? Because her kit is all lightning. And then it started hitting like ‘what if we added this character? Or that character?’” Trevor Jacobs says, punctuating each sentence with a snap of his fingers, reminiscent of a lightning bolt striking earth.
The bolt of inspiration started from Thunder Goddess Cassia electrified the team to create a Hermes-inspired Tracer skin, a Cerberus mount, and a Pegasus mount.[1]
