Maybe once the dev team add schism, we can split into the western SA and eastern SA :D

It's almost happened more than once you know, schism mechanics or no. Brance considered it. So did Rowan.

It might happen one day if the other side push things too TOO FAR.

Maybe once we hit one million followers, we will celebrate by splitting into three separate faiths. By then each of the splinter faiths will still be bigger than any non-SA denomination.
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.

The fruition of a *very* long held plan.

The secession of Gaston has been planned for ages, almost since the fall of Niselur a couple years ago. Not too long after that, I had a neat idea. The Niselurians were all talking about going into exile and re-founding their realm some day, so I offered them a means to do that. Come to Astrum, I said, and found your realm in Gaston. You can build up your infrastructure and populations under our protection, then secede when you are ready. Then after that you can with our help work your way back to Darfix. This seemed much more doable than trying to recolonize a totally devastated Darfix in the midst of hordes of rampaging monsters, far from any human support.

We got a lot in return. The Exiles have been serving as knights and lords in Astrum for probably close to two years IRL, which has been a huge help to us. It took a long time to build up Gaston, and the war with Caerwyn and Averoth set us back immensely when it broke out, but the New Estate system helped a lot with reclaiming it (and more) and fortunately most of the regions we lost to monsters during the war still had good population density when we took them back.

Except Chrysantalys. The city has no people left and turned into a breeding ground.

Darfix alone would double the peasants under the SA banner  :)

not really.  SA has 750,000+ followers as it is now.  After Golden Farrow and the surrounding area gets temples and followers we will be around 850k.  Maybe even more.  Darfix is good for another 150-200k but ittt would not double SA.  Not even close.  Even still, Darfix would bring  a huge chunk of peasant followers to the church

I know. However, as an Iashalurian, i am allowed to exxagerate about the spelendour of what my realm will be.   ;D

You might never even reach the full potential of the city. That city will eat a lot and I doubt you can feed it during winter.

Even if the city actually reaches that size, getting all of them to follow SA will be quite a challenge.  We've been working on Springdale (currently the largest center of the faith) for years, and haven't ever managed to get 100% conversion . . . the city is currently about 75k people, with 4 shrines and a level 11 temple (which can provide for 71k followers), and despite pretty constant preaching, there's been very little progress for a few months.  Maybe 3k in three months or so.  In the last week it's been staying about at 52k, every time I get more it seems to go back down the next day.
