Technically what is being sold is propaganda. All art is propaganda, and if you think the art you like isn't, that's because you've spent the last few decades of your life drinking the Kool aid

Since dragonlance is all about balance, the only way to bring balance to the universe is for the next series of dragonlance to be fedora tipping reddit coded stories about atheism

NGL I thought this was gonna be about Alexandrian remixes of 5e adventures. A figure you may wanna look into is Hermes Trismegistus, a figure conflated with Thoth, Hermes, Enoch and Idris. A religious scholar I follow recently did a pretty indepth video on him.

"I killed the guys that were oppressing you? My source? Me, the guy oppressing you right now? What are you gonna do about it?"

I mean, no? Killing the local authority doesn't suddenly put authority in place. Unless there's someone willing to step in, administrate it and maintain the monopoly of violence you're just going to end up in a warlord situation.
