Mythologie du Panthéon 
Chinois
The title of this section is somewhat misleading, as the mythology of the Chinese is so vast and varied that it is impossible to caver it adequately and remain within our size restrictions. We have chosen the deities we Peel most appropriate for inclusion.
The Chinese image of the Heavens is that of a great bureaucracy. Many of the deities exist to perform a special task and watch over a special area of life. Each god is supervised by a more important deity, who is responsible for seeing that things are done correctly. Every being is accountable to the Emperor of the Heavens. Every year the gods send reports to their supervisors, and it is not uncommon to be promoted or demoted for work done during the year.
Clerics play several roles in this master plan. They support the existing mortal government and preach the divinity of their emperor. The emperor in every case is not only the head of the state, but also the head of the church (thus gifted with high priest powers by the gods). The atonement for all sins by bath the clerical staff and mortal worshipers is a matter of sacrificing items of value commensurate with the improper act. If the deed was severe enough (judge's option as to this in AD&D terms) the atonement might even be death. Clerics must travel about the countryside preaching to rich and poor alike.
