I don't know earthdawn that well (okay, okay, I don't know it at all)
but is there any single deity that is referred to as "the One God" of
Judaism and Christianity (and some would add Islam)? You could play it
as the folk at the beginning of the sixth age piecing together fractured
legends - after all, when magic disapears, I would expect the worlds
belief systems to undergo a major shake-up.
