Talk:Mina (Dragonlance)

message: Mina is not nearly completely fictional
in my social studies class (im a seventh grader) i just learned about a person named Joan of Arc.
Joan of arc was 17 just like mina, she heard prophecys from a god, just like mina, and she WAS burned at the stake, after being charged with witchcraft slightly like mina, but mina was not killed.
This should be proof enough that mina is truly not a fictional character, but truly a character from real history named Joan of Arc

     if anyone decides to put this in the main article, please site me as the source of this thought
It's quite obvious that should be included. I actually think (although I am maybe not in the most suitable place to discuss this) that generally speakig the section about historical and philosophical/religious influence on Dragonlance is really poor. Does anyone wants to intervene? Spree85 (talk) 12:30, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

message: I can't find any source for it, it says it's from Amber and Ash, yet I don't remember seeing that on the cover. Anyone else seen it before? Ddcc 19:18, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I thinks there is some mistake in the chart thats at the bottom of the article. Chaos must not be ahead the other gods but the High God must be. Chaos is the opossite to them and the creation —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Luisgojeda (talk • contribs).
:Nope, the chart is right. Chaos is over them all, it would take all the gods working together plus their followers in order to stop him. See Dragons of Summer Flame.--Kranar drogin 21:49, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The chart is WRONG.  The High God MUST be above Chaos.  The High God summoned Chaos first, then summoned Paladine, Gilean, and Takhisis.  Then the rest is history.  Chaos is NOT at the same level as the High God.  Also, you do NOT create a chart based on "power levels", you create a chart TO SHOW the hierarchy or chronological order.  In the case of the gods of DragonLance and of Krynn, the chart MUST SHOW their place in the whole pantheon.  #1: The High God's "lines" must encompass all the other gods including Chaos.  #2: Chaos should be placed on the right side of the chart with simply a "right brace" showing that his power can only be equalled when all the gods joined (not including the High God).  #3: Mina must not be included until it is official and clear.  222.127.12.12 (talk) 07:16, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: The Chart of gods

message: The Chart says Mina is evil, yet then contradicts itself when it says she was a goddess of light who was deceived by Takhisis. Which is she? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.2.96.41 (talk • contribs).
:That's not a contradiction. She was tricked into becoming evil. That she was a goddess of light in the past, if true, does not necessarily mean that she will side with the gods of light instead of the gods of darkness once she is aware of her nature. She has been serving evil for a long time. Edit: I realize now that you mean the chart of the gods rather than the template on Mina's page which states her alignment to be Evil. Still, this is not contradictory because she is currently evil and aligned with Chemosh. It remains to be seen if she will rejoin the gods of light. -- Noneofyourbusiness 15:07, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Great, thanks! Also don't forget that one of the best ways to improve an article is by adding citations - I noticed that you removed a couple of citations, although I admit that those were hardly in the best format. I modified the remaining citations using a template, which I copied from the "bibliography" section. 24.148.0.83 (talk) 11:26, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
