> Without getting RM off the shelf and without touching on the definitions or politics of earthly religious terminology (both of which I know), I think an Eastern mythology filled with miraculous deeds and access to secret powers Maximizes Gloranthan Fun.
And how is this different from Argrath, the Red Emperor, Arkat, Belintar, Jaldon Toothmaker etc? You can play the East with ordinary gloranthan magic.
> In their long ideological struggle with the world, the God Learners probably edited Eastern magical practice wherever they could in order to improve their own competitive position and bowdlerize rivals by discrediting their ability to do magic in the world.
The God Learners could only edit what they controlled. They did not control the Eastern Isles.
