I don't know of any specific case, but I'm not prepared to declare it impossible either.

So, are you saying that the Parloth are mystic entities and the Adpara are not, or that the Adpara include a number of different classes of entities, including the foreign theist and animist gods and great spirits (and failed mystic entities as well)?

If an sailor from the East Isles discussed gods with a Genertelan counterpart who pointed to the pole star and said "that's my god Polaris", I think the East Islander would say "material entanglements (or antigod tricks) have led you astray so that you have his name and history wrong, that is Kendarimin, the Sage, but they are the same, just come to [island X] and learn the truth". That's what I meant.
