To each his own. I don't recall claiming any rationality for my feeling on the subject. Neither am I trying to be "persuasive". I stated an opinion as mine, I didn't try to enforce it on anyone else.

When have I ever said that Kralorelan history shouldn't be discussed? I said _I_ didn't like the "FDR made it all up" version as a part of a discussion. As said above, the reasons for my position may not be the most rational, but at least they are part of something slightly more productive than patronizing remarks about the (un)tenability of said reasons, completely devoid of substantial addition to the discussion. No?

You are perfectly right, incorrect recollectionon my part. But this made me think again about the PoIM. I have a theory why the orthodox Kralorelans look on it with disdain: the emperor moves on when his soul has completed its transformation into a dragon soul, right? I think this holistic thing, where the soul has to transform as well is the key. The Immanent Masters transform only the body, and so miss out on the entire concept.

Good idea. And it's a lot easier to refer to him by a name than as "the FDR emperor".
