HRT: General Issues & Pantheonic Concerns

This is the achive of the home page of the HRT (Hârn Religion Team) General Issues and Pantheonic Concerns area. You have probably come here from the Hârn Religion Team home page. On the offhand chance that you have not yet visited our main page, you should probably go there first to see what HRT was all about.

To find out what kinds of things were planned for future development, you can consult the action list for HRT General Issues. However, please understand that the HRT is now defunct and no new development is taking place.

History and Sociology

• A General History of Religion in Hârn: a sweeping account from the age of the Earthmasters to the present day.

• A brief timeline of important dates in Hârn's religious history, designed to accompany the General History above.

• Hârnic Religion: A Social Perspective, a discussion of how Hârn's various religions can be classified into the categories of 'ethnic religions', 'caste religions', or 'cult religions'.

• A map of the places of origin for the ten pantheonic churches.

• An historico-anthropological account of the evolution of the Hârnic pantheon out of a Pharic divine trinity. Wholly unofficial, but definitely full of intriguing ideas for GM's willing to depart from the book.

• Some thoughts on the origins of particular religious concepts found among Hârn's churches.

Myths, Legends, and Beliefs

• Tales of the Lesser Gods. These myths of the Hârnic pantheon appeared in Gods of Hârn, but were not included in Hârnmaster Religion.

• Some thoughts on the nature of the afterlife, with particular emphasis on the Peonian and Laranian perspectives.

Miscellaneous

• A list of symbols, practices, and invocations used in the services of each of the ten gods of the pantheon.
