Talk:Nature spirit (Kara-Tur)

Nature spirit = Kami?
Would the nature spirits described in the article be the as the kami of Kara-Tur? Daranios (talk) 16:10, 24 November 2020 (UTC)


 * I do not think so. I think that some but not all nature spirits are kami, and some but not all kami are nature spirits. Kami (of place) seem to be spirits in charge of defending specific places, such as regions or islands, whereas others (kami of elements) are in charge of the flow of winds and waters. But there are other nature spirits for things like trees and stones, which do not fall into the above categories, some of which are also called Nature Gods. Other nature spirits are aparently called "harooga", though no definition of those is given. (A shirokinukatsukami might also be considered a kami, though that is speculation based on its name.)


 * All that being said, it is probably worth noting something about kami in this article.

 * Thanks, that makes sense! Now I just wonder in which way this article should be mentioned in Spirit, as that does not yet link here. Hmm, looking at it again it's a bit more complicated, as this article is about the nature spirits of Kara-Tur, while the Spirit article has a separate section for nature spirits outside of Kara-Tur.

Proposed Rename
I propose we rename this article to Nature spirit (Kara-Tur), as outlined in the Nature spirit talk page. Ruf (talk) 12:09, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
