Schneelocke: /* Encyclopedia entry */ Seems like we still have to use explicit poem tags for three-line right-aligns.

-In the ''[[Wikipedia:Conan the Barbarian|Conan the Barbarian]]'' stories of [[wikipedia:Robert E. Howard|Robert E. Howard]], Mitra is a deity that is personification of goodness and is also associated with righteousness, truth, healing, authority, and the sun. Mitra is the most common god worshiped in Hyboria, and his worship effectively serves as the state religion. Mitra is the chief god of most of the civilized Hyborian kingdoms, including Aquilonia, Ophir, Nemedia, Brythunia, Corinthia, and Zingara; in other lands within the setting, Mitra is at best one god among many, and his worship is even forbidden in Stygia. Mitra is most likely based in part on [[wikipedia:Mithra|the Zoroastrian Mithra]] and (to a lesser extent) [[wikipedia:Mitra (Hindu god)|the Vedic/Hindu Mitra]], sharing several features in common.

 Mitra's holy symbol is a phoenix, and his religion is quasi-Christian in several aspects: he is understood to be omnipresent; his followers are urged to forgive their enemies (though many of them fail to do so); adherents to his religion are sometimes martyred trying to spread their faith to hostile peoples; and Mitra's worship recognizes the existence of other gods, particularly that of his hated adversary [[Set]]. The cult of Mitra never practices sacrifice (unlike in ''NetHack'') and values aesthetic simplicity, with the only recurring iconography being the idol of a bearded man used to represent him - this idol serves as the object of worship, but is neither considered a vessel for the deity nor representative of his appearance.
