Sanguis Astroism

[cenrae]

Well its moving forward. Khari just told the elders FR will support Niselur.

[Indirik]

Any of them who have been paying attention will already have known that, weeks ago.

So what you mean is they just figured it out now?  ;D

[Indirik]

For some, that is sadly true.

This is the perfect time for an Astroist Heresy religion to pop up in Niselur.

Think Catharism, Bogomilism, or Waldensians.

As a player, I do hope that the Church doesn't chicken out now after the massive story build-up.

[Wolfang]

Bawww will the world war not happen then

*puts popcorn down again*

My money is on them chickening out.

[Solari]

Maybe.

Finally. Malus' silence has been quietly infuriating Hireshmont.

The best lesson I've learned from the player of Mathurin is to know when to remain silent. ;-)

On the other hand, silence has a disarming effect, and I think what SA really needs now is some cathartic northern war.

And also this.

Apasurainism would be a good religion for Niselur.  8)

Oh, for sure. I have to be sure that the implicit bargain between secular and religious elements of SA is understood, though. War for everybody, but leave the assets of the Faith alone. Everybody gets what everybody wants. Rooting for heresy is misguided, if understandable, IMHO. People want conflict. Conflict only arises in the absence of some stabilizing force. A monolithic faith that withdraws from secular affairs like wars creates that vacuum. Give your enemy its own faith, and you create another stabilizing institution parallel to yours. One with its own assets to protect and interests to advance. You increase the division between two sides, sure, but you also entrench powerful interests. All heresy, all the time is the easy, destructive, lazy way. I have infinitely more respect for the player who can both create/preserve while creating chaos.

Oh, Hireshmont fully intends to chicken out and to encourage the cowardice of others.

Too much to lose. You've built too big an alliance network; it's not a winning fight.

Hireshmont does not like to lose.

[Arrakis]

Yeah, we noticed that with tumbling of Terran. Too bad he never gets to admit it when confronted with it IC. Maybe he will, eventually. When he loses. :)
