Hmm. I kinda want to write some worldbuilding about saints? (Not the saints which are metaphysically important in four-arts, a new setting, this) Just, like, take the bits of sainthood as an institution which are interesting to me, and kinda graft them into the D&D setting mythology, kinda? So instead of having a pantheon of gods, you just have many holy, miraculous men and women running the heavens and answering prayers and such. I'm sure many of the local religions like to put a god at the top of all this, but really it's all just saints. Saints of various things. I mean, this really doesn't change much about the metaphysics of a D&D setting, beyond letting people make up their own patrons much more easily, but it's an interesting aesthetic, the folk-saint-worship kinda thing. Not sure where I'd take it, beyond that, though.

(Ironically, this chain of thought has nothing to do with Christianity; it was inspired by a Incorrect PMMM Quote.)
