Title: Religion in Fantasy
Status: confirmed
Proposed by: PRK
Description:
As an important part of many human lives, it is unsurprising that fantasy worlds often contain religions or spiritual belief structures. Whilst some of these are based quite closely on existing religions, many vary widely, with regularly incarnate deities, incredibly accurate prophecies or capricious deities playing board games with human souls. To what degree is religion a key component within a fantasy world, or when does it become overdone deus ex machina?
