Brainstorming Part 5: Chinese Mythos

Another mythos that I don’t know well enough to put high on my list of pantheons to work on is the Chinese pantheon of the Celestial Bureaucracy. I would want to try and incorporate the faith of Kara-Tur if possible, and the Path and the Way that originated there and is used in Spelljammer. I have also heard that some of these deities may have been invented/misunderstood, like Apshai and Druaga, but I don’t know which.

As with some others, I would need to get good sources before I worked on it.

Chao Kung Ming (1e DD)
The Ch’eng Huang, various minor tutelary deities (2e L&L)
Chih-Chiang Fyu-ya (1e DD)
