[QUOTE="Scribe, post: 8838031, member: 6807152"] [I]The creators of the content were Mormon, and in a generation even before myself.[/I] This is not a setting that is just 'Oh it slots right into the modern 5e D&D mythology no worries.' A creation, a story, and that IS what we are talking about, will be influenced by the people who created it, this should be self evident. I'm telling you right now, their religious beliefs clearly CLEARLY are present within the final work. I mean it took me a minute of looking up on Google, but yeah. Feel free to look it up if you care. You are talking about a book written by devout (at least so it appears from what I see regarding Hickman) members of a religion who would look at yes the Old Testament version of God, and, like myself, not blink over the story of the Flood. That is what you are missing, or ignoring. You may not believe it, I left the Church as a youth, so I dont personally believe it, but the creators of this work did, and it 100% came through in the final product. You dont have to like it, but to the people who created the setting, the Gods of Good are still good, and as the final authority on what is or is not Divine Judgment, their action would be seen just as the faithful would look at the Flood. God is God, you dont get to question it. [/QUOTE]
