Now to wait to see how the Prophet takes being indirectly accused of making a political decision that hurt the church...

Not really... they'd just get both votes.
That is an interesting interpretation. A possible loophole that should be addressed and closed, eventually. In the past, the possibility of casting votes obtained from holding multiple voting positions has been handled both by letting nobles cast both votes, and by not letting them do so. It has only been possible in regards to Priest class and Elder membership. With rulers now getting votes, and rulers able to hold other elder offices, this should be sorted out.

That will be interesting...but not as interesting as Terran's claim on Gretchew will be. Would all of SA unite against the Zuma, or would the crusade be quickly abandoned?

Did the Zuma take Gretchew?

Somebody keep me informed! Being wounded sucks!

I gather there are calls for Magistratums or something? Who who who?

I'm not sure when/why it happened, but yeah...the Zuma control Gretchew.

As to calls for Magistratums, apparently Kas messaged Alice with dissent about how the elders were conducting the church. It wasn't overt blasphemy, but it does sound bad.

Kas has confessed to worshipping the Zuma before, and was known to be passing on intelligence intended to strengthen OA and Aurvandil.

The reasons to boot him are many. Hireshmont just can't do it because of the obvious political baggage.

Gretchew defected from Saffalore to Zuma before you even got wounded :P You never pay attention to your border regions, which was why you had a big ol' Saffalore army right there when you were busy kicking us out of your city.

Being a Priest does significantly hinder your tendency to pay attention to armies and such.

Well he was also their General in addition to Ruler, Judge and Banker, so sue me for expecting great things.

Marlboro, please quit being annoying about Vellos having a hissy fit that a realm known to go to other nations cities/strongholds without warning to raze the region was asked "wtf are you doing here?".

Being a priest plus a realm with no rurals, so no scouts.
