New Earth. Fantasy Pantheon Inspired by Afro-Brazilian Religion

Abstract

In this research report I describe how I used a decolonial framework to design a pantheon, the faith system and temples based on Afro-Brazilian religions known as Candomblé and Umbanda for a fantasy setting of the role-playing game New Earth (2013), in which the oppressed defeat the colonizers and establish a culture based on their mixed ancestries.
