Manu Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 How does Malkioni see the afterlife? Reincarnation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tindalos Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 It depends on the particular school of Malkionism. Reincarnation is the belief of Hrestoli schools. (GtG. 53) The Brithini don't have an afterlife (GtG. 405) While I can't find a published source on the Rokari, there is this, where they were described as believing in oneness with the Invisible God after death, if you had fulfilled your caste duties properly that is.

metcalph Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 All Gloranthans are re-incarnated by default (it's not a matter of belief). Salace is a way out of the endless cycle of life and death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord High Munchkin Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I had assumed re-incarnation too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Godspeed Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Both Solace (Rokari) and Joy (Hrestoli) have both struck me as similar to Hindu-Buddhist Nirvana/Nibbana. Perhaps the former more than the latter, but I don't know. Given the theistic focus of these two schools of Malkionism, Platonic henosis might be a better fit: unity and unification with the Absolute. Cessation of the self and its limitations and restrictions, in either case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding of Joy and Solace are both strongly influenced by Plotinus' henosis. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
