The best way to revitalize SA is to create an enemy worthy of them. They have their chapter fresh to start, Astrum shattered, the faith in retreat in the vacuum the pagans begin their advance!

Just like in Arminius! The scary swampy Germanic forests  of the first century full of savages and Romans!

The true enemy is within. Of all the enemies SA faced, I doubt the Cult of  Bloodmoon will inspire anything more than cold disdain.

I had a good experience in Beluaterra with the Bloodspeakers. That was a major reason for wars. An "evil" religion. But, my point and what I tried to do was to let more people add his own ideas. I failed to get enough cooperation from the players. I would like to see the religion with many local deities and local rituals and traditions. Many faces of the same thing.

In Asylon it works because of people trying to do their own RPs about heir own regions and because, different of SA, we are not too much organized at all. We are always flowing in silence and with good RPs. Thing are going well almost by itself. And while I agree the SA needs a religious enemy and even when the CoB can be this enemy, we still have a long way to consolidate our religion and inspire more people into it. 

Asylon is a huge realm now. We are formed by some religions, people from different places (many in seek of some revenge) and at some point, duchies that sometimes have more history than the realm itself. Regions descriptions can increase this kind of variety to add more flavor to each duchy and each region or group of regions. Then, you can mix these descriptions and intentions inside the religion, at some point creating the way your people will worship (we already have the Sacred Fruit, after all). Also, we can do it without lose what  makes Asylon a kingdom: we are a barbaric realm. We want to loot, to raid and make prisoners. We like to take the spoils. More than ever, we would like to have your food.
Now with the Skovgaard Family... and it's gone.

The whole idea behind CoB was/is to be as loose and filled with conflicting ideas and schism as possible, where SA strives for unity, cob is about the opposite .

That is both our strongest advantage as our biggest flaw, but who will be the madman to unify the Cult and use it as a weapon? Can it be wielded as a weapon or is it more like snake that will bite you in the arm that holds it?

Today the Cult "sacrificed" some portal stones at the Vakreno Heaps.  Seems to have help delay the inevitable.  Still have more stones to use.

Used more stones yesterday.  Wondering if they will have the same effect on Astroists if we use them in the east.

What effects do you think they are having in the west, that you are hoping to duplicate in the east?

They've been striking down monsters.

The first batch turned the monsters in our realm into charred corpses and the last batch disintegrated them...

We have been sacrificing people in Barca, to no avail.

It's amazing how some will take a public result, and assume it is the sole result, and that this will always be the result to be had.

Portal stones have proven themselves, again and again, to how unpredictable results. They closed portals... and opened some. They chased blight, and spread it. They killed monsters... and yet, we still have a tonload of monsters.
