While readily adapted to suit any fantasy setting where swashbuckling adventures and whimsical pirates, cannons, colonial powers, and soul- scallawags abound, there are also ruthless devouring horrors might fit in. corsairs, frightening spells, and political intrigues aplenty. Most of the magic has a distinct Voodoo feel to it, with the caveat there there exist no reliable spells to raise the dead (i.e. raise dead, resurrection, and true resurrection do not exist). The action is centered in the Caribbean (also called the Spanish Main or the West Indies), though there may be opportunities to visit the Americas, Europe, or even otherworldly realms like the Shores of Death or the watery Abyss. European powers like Britain, France, the Netherlands, and Spain struggle to maintain control of their colonies amidst rampant privateering and piracy, slave uprisings, and dark magic. Characters spend equal time aboard ships as they do breaking into Spanish garrisons, exploring cursed islands, and infiltrating masquerade balls. The traditional dungeon- delving of D&D takes a backseat to swashbuckling adventure and intrigue. Recommended Resources Birds of Prey by Wilbur Smith.

  • The Progress of Religious Freedom As Shown in the History of Toleration Acts by Rev
    THE PROGRESS OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AS SHOWN IN THE HISTORY OF TOLERATION ACTS THE PROGRESS OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AS SHOWN IN THE HISTORY OF TOLERATION ACTS BY REV. PHILIP SCHAFF, D.D., Professor of Church History, Union Theological Seminary, N. Y. CHAPTER L TOLERATION AND LIBERTY. An Edict or Act of Toleration is a grant of the civil gov- ernment, which authorizes religious societies dissenting from the State religion to worship according to the dictates of conscience without liability to persecution. Such an Edict always presupposes a religion established by law and sup- ported by the State, and the right of the State to control public worship. Toleration may proceed from necessity, or from prudence, or from indifference, or from liberality and an enlarged view of truth and right. It may be extended or withdrawn by the government; but it is usually the entering wedge for religious liberty and legal equality. There is a wide difference between toleration and-liberty. The one is a concession, the other a right; the one is a matter of expediency, the other a principle; the one is a gift of man, the other, a gift of God. Toleration implies more or less censure or disapproval. We tolerate or endure what we dislike but cannot prevent. The most despotic governments are tolerant towards sub- jects who are too numerous or too useful to be killed or exiled. Russia tolerates Romanists, Protestants, Jews, and Mohammedans; Turkey tolerates " Christian dogs," and likes them to prey upon each other; but woe to him in either country who apostatizes from the State religion, or 2 The Progress of Religious Freedom.

  • Universal Mythology: Stories
    Universal Mythology: Stories That Circle The World Lydia L. This installation is about mythology and the commonalities that occur between cultures across the world. According to folklorist Alan Dundes, myths are sacred narratives that explain the evolution of the world and humanity. He defines the sacred narratives as “a story that serves to define the fundamental worldview of a culture by explaining aspects of the natural world, and delineating the psychological and social practices and ideals of a society.” Stories explain how and why the world works and I want to understand the connections in these distant mythologies by exploring their existence and theories that surround them. This painting illustrates the connection between separate cultures through their polytheistic mythologies. It features twelve deities, each from a different mythology/religion. By including these gods, I have allowed for a diversified group of cultures while highlighting characters whose traits consistently appear in many mythologies. It has the Celtic supreme god, Dagda; the Norse trickster god, Loki; the Japanese moon god, Tsukuyomi; the Aztec sun god, Huitzilopochtli; the Incan nature goddess, Pachamama; the Egyptian water goddess, Tefnut; the Polynesian fire goddess, Mahuika; the Inuit hunting goddess, Arnakuagsak; the Greek fate goddesses, the Moirai: Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos; the Yoruba love goddess, Oshun; the Chinese war god, Chiyou; and the Hindu death god, Yama. The painting was made with acrylic paint on mirror. Connection is an important element in my art, and I incorporate this by using the mirror to bring the audience into the piece, allowing them to see their reflection within the parting of the clouds, whilst viewing the piece.

Urton‟s research findings allow us to visualize the information in the pairing quadrants, which are determined by the distribution of S- and Z-knots, to provide overall information that is helpful for identifying the celestial coordinates of the brightest stars in the Pleiades cluster. In the present study, the linear regression attempts to model the relationship between two variables (which are determined by the distribution of the S- and Z-knots). The scatter plot illustrates the results of our simple linear regression: suggesting a map of the Pleiades represented by seven points on the Cartesian coordinate plane.

  • List of Creation Myths
    List of creation myths A creation myth (or creation story) is a cultural, religious or traditional myth which describes the earliest beginnings of the present world. Creation myths are the most common form of myth, usually developing first in oral traditions, and are found throughout human culture. A creation myth is usually regarded by those who subscribe to it as conveying profound truths, though not necessarily in a historical or literal sense. They are commonly, though not always, considered cosmogonical myths, that is, they describe the ordering of the cosmos from a state of chaos or amorphousness.

To browse such headings, they are in the four thick red volumes on the left side of the reference desk. The list below is a sample and is NOT complete. Mythology Mythology, African Mythology, Classical Indian Mythology Navajo Mythology Legends Mythology, Anglo­Saxon Mythology, Egyptian Mythology, Indonesian Mythology, Norse Religions Mythology, Arab Mythology, English Inuit Mythology Pawnee Mythology Animals, Mythical Mythology, Asian Eskimo Mythology Mythology, Iranian Mythology, Roman Folklore Aztec Mythology Mythology, European Iroquois Mythology Mythology, Slavic Gods Mythology, Balinese Mythology, Germanic Mythology, Japanese Mythology, Sumerian Goddesses Mythology, Baltic Mythology, Greek Mythology, Jewish Mythology, Tibetan Dryads Mythology, Buddhist Mythology, Hindu Mythology, Korean Mythology, Turkish Myth Mythology, Celtic Hopi Mythology Maya Mythology Mythology, Welsh Mythology, Chinese Inca Mythology Mythology, Middle Eastern Mythology, Zulu Sometimes, Names of Actual Mythical Figures or Deities will suffice. Below are a FEW examples. Notice sometimes you need to state “Deity” or “Mythology” to be more specific that you are searching for the mythical figure. When searching try combining terms that will work (Example: Isis AND deity or Isis AND mythology): Rainbow Serpent Isis (Egyptian Deity) Pandora (Greek Mythology) Innana (Sumerian Deity) Library Catalog: Search the Library Catalog for your particular myth.
