[edit] Mystic Arcana

The Mystic Arcana series deals alot about Oshtur. I would consider it to be the best text about her. 74.220.74.40 (talk) 03:25, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sourcing

Although this is a minor character (if she is a character at all), the information provided in this page is so alien to me that I cannot but ask for sources. We might even have a case of fanon.

• Notable aliases: I haven't ever heard some of them ("Bird Goddess"?), and I frankly doubt that "Omniopotent" is even a real word ever used to refer to Oshtur.
• Oshtur as an Elder Goddess born from the Demiurge, and surviving the Demogorge - other sources suggest that Gaea was the only Elder Gods who survived without becaming a demon.
• Oshtur and Hoggoth meeting and being "companions" - the first time I've seen they are more than "business partners"
• Oshtur giving birth to Agamotto - !?!? Agamotto's entry says nothing about this.
• Osthur being responsible for creating the Book of the Vishanti - Its entry suggests that the three Vishanti are responsible, and only behind the scenes; the Book was probably written by white wizards who dabbed on the Vishanti's power.

As this information is not commonly shown, and not easily verifyable, I suggest the addition of some sources. Thank you very much, --213.0.43.166 (talk) 12:35, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
