This entry maybe should be brought into line with other national entries, format wise. -gm
Cleared old talk page. Check history if really interested. -Slitherrr
So this is referred to here and on the map as "Petera", and the adjective is sometimes said to be "Peteran", but a couple of articles have referred to "Petra" and "Petran", or "Petara" and "Petaran". Is it safe to assume that "Petera" and "Peteran" are canonical (flavor element of misspellings aside)? -Slitherrr
- I tried to define a canonical spelling by choosing a single name and a single valid link, but I see you went and ruined that plan ;) --Msallen
- Yeah, I got into the redirects before I knew what I was getting into. -Slitherrr
- PS. GM likes the confusing lack of spelling consistency
- consistent spelling is an anachronism.
- Additionally, don't forget to account for regional spelling variances. -gm, probably
- Note: Wikis are an anachronism. -Slitherrr

Religious tolerance of Peteran Heresy?
How tolerant are Mainlanders day-to-day of Peteran Heresy religion? Are they generally accepting and on good terms (for day-to-day Mainlanders) or do they view them as blasphemers? Any real-world analogies? I can tell the churches themselves are opposed (i.e. "Peteran Heresy" name), but how does that translate into day-to-day relationships for (a) citizens of the countries and (b) members of the church? -Mattie
- Well, at the highest levels, there's kind of a policy of "Mutual Coexistance," as both Greater Alexandriandom and the Petaran's are both entrenched enough to prevent annihilation. Sure, the population, economy, and geographic size of the mainland is like 10x that of Petara, the mainland has a lot more infighting and cultural divisions that prevent working together.
- That said, if someone started preaching Petaranism, creating Favored Souls, etc. there would be a pretty quick and savage breakdown. Real-world analogies? I guess look anywhere that Greater Islam shared a border with Christendom and see what happened. -gm
