  • None of the above. Many of the names of characters are drawn from ancient human lore. Searching for the likes of the Iron Lords will lead you down a rabbit hole of ancient mythologies. Then there are mentions like "Teilhard" which refer to religious philosophy, but there are also mentions like "outside context" which refers to the work of Iain M Banks. the Traveller itself can be seen as God, Messiah, Prophet, Omen, Devil... depending on which story you want to map to it. The actual story itself is fundamentally heretical from the point of view of the three mentioned religions as it describes a society which has rejected those Abrahamic religions in favour of Traveller worship. It would be seen by fundamentalist adherants of those religions as a rejection of their faith, an insult, blasphemy even. Here is a God that can be seen and touched, it genuinely intervenes in the lives of it's faithful, raises the dead and gives eternal life - and isn't the God of Abraham.
