Talk:Ishvala

I wonder if it is coincidental or not, but Ishvara is also a Hindu monotheistic concept (and would be spelled the same way in Japanese). Kiadony 15:52, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not completly sure about this, but I don't remember that it's ever been said that Ishvala strictly forbids alchemy in the manga or Brotherhood, just that there's been problems between Ishvalans and Amestrians due to cultural and religious differences.

"Changing the original form of an object is a crime against Ishvala, god, and creator of all things." Chapter 58. Fullmetal Fan 20:55, April 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * Two Things - First, the Ishvalan people and religion is supposed to be based off of the Arab people/religion - not Hindu - and there is a MAJOR difference between the two.

Ishvalan religion would be on par with Islam more than anything.

Two - I believe Ishvala is pertained to as a Godess, and a female entity by her people - not a male.
