That's a very slanted and biased view of the events. The proposed amendment was not worded the way it was presented to Busto and Brance. Whether or not it "passed" is also debatable, as it did not garner yes votes from 2/3rds of the total elders. I think the votes were 4:1 in favor, meaning less than half the elders voted. A poorly written charter leaves the interpretation of the voting rather vague. Also, a don't think Allison has the authority to declare the vote as passed or failed. Several of the elders didn't vote not out of apathy, but because the regent suspended the vote before it could finish. And Pierre did not support it because he asked Allison to wait on calling a vote, and she went ahead and called the vote anyay. And the elders that voted for it were mostly Allison and her puppets.

And then Allison went ahead and trumpeted the news to the world in exactly the way that those she claimed supported her told her *not* to do it.

So, yes, this will be interesting.

I think what would be more interesting is if some other religions joined the bandwagon in support. After all, the resolution declares open preaching for all priests in all lands, not just SA priests. This could, if handled properly by the right people, be a religious first in BattleMaster.
