I like the idea of the uncorrupted Refrain being an aspect of the Begotten that occasionally shows up when certain kinds of Heroes do.
The Refrain basically lets Beasts teach through tales and legend, giving them some reinforcement that their culture is not without value.

Light of the Sun has three gamelines. I know, I'm the backer who added Demon to the era about church reform, herasy and knowledge suppression. My other pitch was was for vampire in Last Imperials and I'm not even sure they got to see it. Even then it would be in competition with Arthurian Briton, since each gameline could only be added once.

For those interested, Werewolf was added to Hunger in the Black Land, Vampire to Arthur's Brittania and Promethean to The Great War. I think Mummy was added to the Reign of Terror, but I'm not sure. It might have been Demon.

While I do enjoy them, I'm scratching my head as to how the Xibalbans got to Middle Kingdom Egypt from the Americas. Still nice though. Would not mind if they coexisted with the Galatids until the later came to the New World. That said, I know little about the native cultures of the area, so I'd need to read up on the references. The Sobeki join the Seers and the Pure in villain splats, because have you read what they must do? I'd argue that they are even further towards the unplayable villain spectrum than the others.

I love the new kiths in the Wonders chapter. It is good to see...

I believe there might have been a sidebar or a section in one of the storyteller's sections in 1st ed about not sterotyping the gods of a culture by tying them to one ethnicity or appropriating them by white washing them.

Basically, I think the official stance is "Don't be a jerk*". But there is no in-game limitation.

Shades do go to Duat to be judged, so they might be "the part of soul that must be weighed for the Devourer."* Certainly they are more closely aligned with the occult forces of Sekhem than the Underworld.

Mind you the Underworld is rather closely aligned with Memory, so that is a thing.

*This is what I think the Iremite in-universe explanation is, not the canonical truth.
