Re: New nation : Shangri La, Hidden City of the Secret Masters
In fact, there will be lamas in EA Shangri La. Bön is the traditional religion of Bhödpa clans, under domination of more advanced Shangrilan, whose religion is more "buddhist-flavored" (tibetan buddhism, of course).
In MA, Bön disappear (no more demon or spirit summons, no more need for demon-hunter, no more dmu-rgyal sorcerers), Mi Gö start to be rarer, and the buddhist-like religion of the Hidden Masters become more and more influent, and more traditionalist.
In LA, the Hidden Masters have ascended and left this world. The Hidden City is taken over by a group of mysterious and potent mages called the Synarchy (Umberto Eco !!!), which plot to take control over the world. Shangri La is no more a land of enlightenment, but a place where treason, deceit and manipulation are common. I want this era to show how a beautiful thing and a heritage of spiritual ascension may be corrupted when it becomes mere ideology...
