I don't know. The Caedhan nations seem to be principally european, not asian. However, the Chavese are an Indic people who live over the mountains to the south of Cendos, maybe there was a Buddha incarnated there. However, the Chavese are a rather isolationist people so the rest of Caedha probably wouldn't find out.

Ah, if you mean an enlightened person incarnated to help humanity on its way to greater spiritual perfection, then yes. There was the prophet Tenendos, who lived around two thousand years ago, at the zenith of the Carastan Empire, who reformed Carastan religion and moved it less from sacrificing animals to something more along the lines of respect for nature and communion with the divine. Since then, there hasn't been anyone special, except the Patriarch of Géredou in the 22nd century (c. 1500 CE), who killed himself by starvation while praying non-stop for the salvation of his people and that the Hinnashai would not invade. They didn't until about 100 years ago, so Patriarch Mecreise is revered as somewhat of a saint. Dan ------------------------------------------------------------- Lo deu nu preca êl'aisún necoui.
