Talk:Wild Hunt

This seems a bit confused between a definition, a disambiguation, various rites, and a realm. Can it be refined to a simple disambig page with links to the various god's wild hunts? — BadCatMan (talk) 00:03, March 29, 2018 (UTC)


 * True, which is mainly due to the source material being limited and disjointed. The second part of the article could be changed as you suggest easy enough. However I would not know where to link the first part.
 * So we could leave that intact, which would still mean a kind of hybrid page, but maybe less confused, kind of like and expanded Oberon (disambiguation). Or we could assume the the Celtic version of the Wild Hunt from Legends & Lore (2nd edition) applies to the Realms, then we would have ample material for a true article. There is no contradiction to the scant Ruins of Adventure entry, and I guess the authors had a similar notion in mind. What do you think? Daranios (talk) 19:33, March 29, 2018 (UTC)


 * It seems that writers for a lot of different things have each borrowed a real-world term and applied it to different things. Merging them on one page implies a connection where none might exist, i.e., suggesting the hunting deity rituals involve this pack of dogs, or that the pack of dogs is caused by Malar (likely) or Sekolah (unlikely), and it's not clear which happened in Elturel. It also puts an optional random encounter outside Phlan in a position of importance that might not be warranted (all we know is it might have occurred near Phlan one year, it's not a Faerun-wide phenomenon).


 * So I'd prefer to just split them. My preference is to have a simple disambiguation page for "wild hunt", then a link to the Malarite ritual, another to the Sekolah ritual, a link to Tarsellis's realm (all three probably a part of the pages of those gods or their churches), a link to the haunting outside Phlan, and maybe another to the Celtic thing if it does apply. — BadCatMan (talk) 01:32, March 30, 2018 (UTC)


 * Sure, makes sense. Thinking about it, I would keep this as an article about the Phlan Wild Hunt (I missed that connection), violating the 3-sentence-rule, but well. ("No one knows what brings the Wild Hunt" suggests more than a one-time occurence to me, though). And make a disambiguation page. And put the rest into the deities' articles, as there are no church articles for them yet. Daranios (talk) 06:32, March 30, 2018 (UTC)
