Hmm. I get the point about the Malkioni acknowledging the existence of gods and spirits. I had thought that the Xeotam Dialogues, though widely accepted, may have represented a more... specifically Ralian take on it, though.
Also, whatever happened to the Erasanchula/True Beings? Is it basically still the same approach?
