Talk:Padhran religion

Done! I think I've finished by Padhran project. There's a fair bit more to say from Storm Riders, Black Courser, and Blood Charge, about Furo, the Red Mountain Sect and their temple, Gaumahavi, and Sandiraksiva, but it's extensive and integral to those adventure modules, and more specific to those subjects. So, I'm calling it done here.

Besides, I think I deserve enlightenment after disentangling the Padhran faith from the Path of Enlightenment, alongside two other disconnected gods. It's very sloppy, mixing up the two major religions in the Hordelands setting. The Horde seems to have made a half-arsed attempt to merge them, purely on the basis of enlightenment concepts and the Path's mixed Confucian/Buddhist style. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised to find a link to Zakhara's Enlightenment.

In any case, the Padhran faith is an interesting one for a D&D setting, despite being a close ripoff of Buddhism. I'd like to know more about how reincarnation is meant to work in the Realms/D&D, since I don't think any other faith has employed it before, apart from the reincarnate spell.

And that completes my major Kara-Turan religions project. Whew! — BadCatMan (talk) 07:57, April 19, 2017 (UTC)
