The ruler of Aurvandil, Mendicant, has essentially declared war on "religion" in general and has stated his intent to destroy all religions. Something along the lines of "if you have a monarch, you don't need a god". That's a paraphrase, I don't have the particular message in front of me at the moment.

Religion is actually illegal in Aurvandil.

That is quite interesting. We should send a dozen priests down there and start corrupting their peasants >:-)

I would actually be quite interested to see them set up an actual, IG religion with Mendicant set up as a god-king.

[Ehndras]

That'd be completely against the whole point.

...So, do it. Pull a Warhammer 40k Rofl.

All priests should declare war on Aurvandil

Better yet: they'll Unionize.

"Hey! Those guys are trying to put us out of work!"

Couldn't said priests be promptly arrested and sentenced to death?

Actually no, not easily. I think Aurvandil would have to declare war on their realms first to even arrest them. At that point, the priests could be tortured (for no lasting effect since it has no impact on the skills that matter to priests), but not banned or executed unless they had been caught doing something criminal. Basically only actions that could cause a priest to be arrested upon a failure (like an RTO) would subject the priest to a ban or execution if they got caught in the act.

Which produces all sorts of lulzy possibilities if major religions decided to get serious about taking down Aurvandil.

Monarchism reigns in Aurvandil.

Mendicant hasn't declared war on religion, he's merely rejected it within his own dominion. He certainly hasn't stated an intent to destroy religions external to his own Commonwealth. You don't need a church when you have a Monarchy, you don't need the promises of a religion when you have the earthly benevolence of Monarchism, and you soon find that God's become irrelevant in the shadow of a true Monarch, after all, God's were only ever modeled on the majesty of Monarchs.

You could call Mendicant a God-King, but that would just belittle the royal person as something seemingly inferior to the Highest of Sovereigns.

Looks like a modern atheist dictatorship like North Korea or such, just that with the monarchist ideology instead of the communist. Hope you are not RPing him like that, as it is extremely modern. Or at least it seems so to me.

Middle Ages and Ancient Times had people fearful of the unknown, and sometimes people portrayed as equal to their deities, but never the view of the gods as beneath humans. Not even the Mongols who are likely those that got closer to something like it.

God King, hmmm. Apathy to all religions! That would give enough fuel to the SA bloc, Lurians and other folks to declare war on Aurvandil.
