I'm in doubt of the strength of the Order at this point. It is true that the order controls most of Kindara and Zonasa. However beyond that the control is very limited. Arcaea will accept no dominant religion (due to Velax' influence) and as a result Sartan, Elders and MA have some foot in Arcaea (fun times).
Cathay is no longer fond of the Elders really also due to the last war (which the Order power house (kindara zonasa) lost.) So I wonder how much strength the Order truly holds beyond the south.
The same however goes for the Church of Sartan. It controls all of Sorraine, has some foot in Arcaea and the Dark Isles now and also some in Cathay. But it will not be able to steer Arcaea or Cathay into war.
The key factor in all of this is still Arcaea I think as Velax seems to stop most religious warfare and actions.
I'm amused by Zonasa being called an 'Order power house.' It's kind of the opposite of Sorraine in that regard -- tons of followers, both peasants and nobility, but the Order has very little political influence -- a lot of politically important people in Zonasa are members of the Order, but how much this carries over into policy is debatable.
Morgan also has a strong tradition of trying to stop religious warfare (at least, if it seems like it will affect Zonasa), though his preferred method is to wipe out religions that start trouble. That was one reason he was quite willing to let an old friend and one of his dukes be executed by Zonasa's judge -- they had started a religious revolt in Zonasa.
