Religion In The Chalionese Universe
The Fivefold Pathway of the Soul, written by Ordol, is one of the primary religious texts of orthodox ('Quintarian') cultures in Lois McMaster Bujold's fantasy novels The Curse of Chalion (2001), Paladin of Souls (2003), and The Hallowed Hunt (2005). This entry outlines that (fictional) book based on background from Bujold's three books in this fictional realm. The Fivefold Pathway does not exist as an independent book; a fanfictional version existed at one time on the Bujold fansite, http://www.dendarii.com/, but that text seems to have disappeared. The inferred content is distinct, but Ordol's title alludes to the Quinquae viae ('five paths') of Aquinas, five 'proofs of the existence of God' that remain very important in Roman Catholic theology.
