Category talk:Finnish pantheon

Should we categorize using OOU criteria? --Ir&#39;revrykal (talk) 10:05, November 22, 2017 (UTC)


 * Good question. But is it really out-of-universe? On Hallowed Ground treats it as in-universe (though it says these pantheons are worshiped in many spheres, not outright that they come from "Earth"). Of course that is not a Realms source. Then Powers & Pantheons all but says that the Mulhorandi and Untheric deities came from Egypt and Mesoptamia, describing these lands just stopping short of stating the names. The Earth article treats that as in-universe. Taking this together, and the statments in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Set (which may have been less concerned with in-universe perspective than later sources, but stil) like "Mielikki is the Finnish power described in Legends & Lore", I think what I wrote as a heading for the category can be seen as in-universe.

 * I agree with that. (Of course, I wrote those aspects of the Earth article.) These are the in-universe names of the pantheons in D&D sources; in most cases, we don't have another name for them. And this is not our Earth, but a D&D Earth where the gods came from, where the cross-overs with the Forgotten Realms happen. It's still in-universe to refer to this fictional Earth. — BadCatMan (talk) 02:31, November 23, 2017 (UTC)


 * I was not aware of that connection. Apologies. --Ir&#39;revrykal (talk) 05:23, November 23, 2017 (UTC)


 * No need for apologies. As you can see from the length of my paragraph I am happy to explain my reasons ;-), and I think such discussion can help us improve articles. Daranios (talk) 21:02, November 23, 2017 (UTC)
