Maybe it's time to reveal that Rabisu has been having visions.

Not too badly yet. But that's not a problem with the church itself. That's opportunistic expansionism, masquerading under a religious cloak.

No, this is the backlash from the Church's mismanagement.

We are not a theocracy...  ???

In our realm we have Verdis Elementum, Truinists, Cult of Bloodmoon and Sanguis Astroists. Our kingdom has had a different history and way of dealing with our being the nexus point between everything. We were not blessed with the massive influx of nobles Morek and Astrum had to bolster their faith back in the days when none opposed their rise. Asylon has had to cobble together a disparate group of nobles under one flag, bind different thoughts together under one king and survive against almost insurmountable odds.

No, that's just an excuse. Certain people are bored, or need to distract their nobility with an external focus. So, classic maneuver: start a war. Most of the realm nobility follow along.

Certain other people are angry that their individual agenda was not adopted. Or that they didn't get the power/position they feel they deserved.

And some people just have a persecution complex, and lash out mindlessly. ;)

Astrum does not masquerade at all. Astrum, and the church, has never made any secret of the fact that they desire to expand the influence of the church to cover the whole island. We've been very open and honest about it, all along.

Oh come now Indirik I was merely joking. Everyone knows your are wrapped in the cloak of religion and then wrapped in another cloak and then another and another and another until your are wrapped in ten thousand cloaks of religious fervour.

And they were handed the best of reasons by the Church. There were plenty of other wars brewing elsewhere with several of the participants. The church blundering about doing what it pleased with no thought of the consequences has brought this about.

In other news, Paganism is quickly spreading throughout the Farronite Republic while the war lasts. In a few short weeks, FR will no longer be an SA-dominated realm. The question now is: how long can the Asylon-FR-Niselur alliance maintain that it's not seeking to destroy SA?
