That's fine. YGWV. But for me (and I suspect Greg as well),
mythology and religion are complicated - these complications are what
allow characters like Lokomayadon and Harmast, Nysalor and Arkat. Some
people like the Otherworld to be simple and straightforward - I am
definitely not amongst their ranks.
