Well, when they're absorbed and turned into a theocracy, I guess they'll learn.
Sartania still goes through its twice-annual implosions, no matter what it is called. Galiard gets along with them well enough and legitimately likes them, but he's been around too long not to have a contingency plan - I'm not one to blow a lot of hot air on the forums but I can't see the Church of Sartan ever making a successful power play in Cathay, at least not without a Sartanian coming to power as King. Very little would make Galiard, Edmund, and Morgan best buddies in a shorter time than the Church over-playing its hand in Cathay, and I don't think any of the current Church elders would try it. At least, if I were them, I'd have Galiard killed first, but as we've seen, that can be problematic for other reasons...
