	::::Since both the "Ba" and "Ka" are the basis of certain plot point throughout the game's story (and since the Ba are given physical and interactable form in CoTP), then I concede that an article is warranted.

	:::Ah, that's a valid point. I have not played ''Curse of the Pharaohs'' yet, so I was not aware of this. In this light, the Ba might merit its own article. However, the Egyptians believed that there were 5 parts to a soul, with the Ba only being one of them. It might be uneven or poor organization for the Ba to have its own article as though it were more significant than the other 4 parts, such as the Ka which is heavily mentioned throughout the main game. I'd be fine if both Ba and Ka have their own main articles, but not only one or the other. Either way, we still need an article on Egyptian religion that mentions them. I think the question, then, would be whether we have enough information on Ba and Ka for them to warrant their own articles.

			::::The Ka and Ib/Jb appear as quest items. There are at least two missions where you have to follow a Ren. The Shadows of the Pharaoh (and possibly Anubis) are Sheut but I don’t think it is ever explicitly mentioned (the Ramesses questline requires gathering the parts of the soul). The Khat of Apep makes an appearance. Not sure if the Akh is ever mentioned though. [[User:Lacrossedeamon\|Lacrossedeamon]] ([[User talk:Lacrossedeamon\|talk]]) 00:54, March 23, 2018 (UTC)

	:I would actually make an article on Egyptian religion and put this under there. I know that we've never made articles on religions, and I can understand why, but I don't think we can deny that religion does have relevance to the narratives of this series given the settings where Christianity, Islam, and Greek and Egyptian religions receive a lot of mention. It might be a bit hard to write about them and care should definitely be taken to ensure they're not controversial; they don't have to go too deep into their actual theologies, just whatever information can largely be derived just from the games themselves [[User:Sol Pacificus\|<span style="color:#990000;font-family:Monotype Corsiva;font-size:17px">'''Sol Pacificus'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Sol Pacificus\|<span style="color:#D4AF37;font-family:Californian FB;font-size:11px">(Cyfiero)</span>]]</sup> 01:26, March 22, 2018 (UTC)		:I would actually make an article on Egyptian religion and put this under there.

	::These are my two cents: I actually made the article because the Ba are NPC's in the newest DLC, The Curse of the Pharaohs. I figured they should get an article like the rest of the animals. I know they're not animals, but gameplay wise they are treated as such. Dropping animal goods etc. Gameplay wise they're the same as vultures by the way, just with a different visual look.

			:::Ah, that's a valid point. I have not played ''Curse of the Pharaohs'' yet, so I was not aware of this. In this light, the Ba might merit its own article. However, the Egyptians believed that there were 5 parts to a soul, with the Ba only being one of them. It might be uneven or poor organization for the Ba to have its own article as though it were more significant than the other 4 parts, such as the Ka which is heavily mentioned throughout the main game. I'd be fine if both Ba and Ka have their own main articles, but not only one or the other. Either way, we still need an article on Egyptian religion that mentions them. I think the question, then, would be whether we have enough information on Ba and Ka for them to warrant their own articles.
