Firstly, Slavic mythology isn’t really a thing. You can’t talk about it in the same way as you talk about Norse mythology or ancient Greek or even Egyptian mythology. There is no concrete body of mythological lore you can print in a book, or use as a game setting.
In fact, most of what we know about the religious customs of the day has been sourced from notes of Christian monks about three or four hundred years after the last pagans have died. The same monks who have been actively suppressing that very knowledge for more than a few centuries. There are scant few bits and pieces of folklore that has survived to this day via oral tradition and custom, but even those were mostly scrubbed clean out of their original meanings. So anyone telling you that Witcher 3 is based on actual Slavic mythology is full of shit. We literally know more about the religion and myths of fictional land of Westeros than those of very real, pre-Christian Slavic people.
I can't believe what I am reading.
Do some of you guys actually believe this?
What the hell kind of backward argument is this?
Might as well call everything we know as fake because historians found consensus information across the board on the past from recorded scholar and historian past records that were kept hidden in a private great library.
Suppressing knowledge doesn't mean that their records are false.
It would mean otherwise since you would only suppress knowledge because the information in it is correctly recorded and should not be known to the public.
And knowledge back then was power.
The Church and the kingdom were dependent on it so that the current and future generation can learn about the surrounding politics, history, and cultures to ensure that they can use this information to their advantage.
But hey, I am just a random internet person.
But at least this guy has a name in Luke. Random person or Luke.
I believe Luke is more believable though.
