Adgharism is going nowhere, it's the paralell feud to the general far east wars about power.
The fall of their core realm was probably the best thing for Sartanianism as a religion, as they now have legit heavy hitters supporting their temples, rather then being restricted by regional control as Adgharism is. The hilarious issues come when Adgharians and Sartanians have to serve together or under one another.
dustole, writing Ciann off is always a bad option. She may fail at a lot of things, but she's survived and thrived with her theological power-base...well...her theological power base within Arcachon and Arcaea and parts of Ohnar West. Some of those in Ohnar West believe in a false version of the One True Way.
For those not initiated, the head of the Adgharian religion was Dormondt, but he's gone, so there are now three real power-sources in the church, two of whom rule realms and hate each other completely (Joseph and Ciann), as well as believing very different things and the third just wishes that they were both no complete jerks (and technically outranks both of them). Ciann hasn't called for an entire order of monks to be hung yet, but that's only because she has Arcaea messing up her insane purge and probably can't get the High priestess to endorse it, so she's gotta destroy her own lands and become an international pariah before she commences the inquisition.
See, if you kill the faithful by accident (or on purpose) it's really not a bad thing because they are rewarded upon their death. If you kill the faithless, well, that's always a good thing.
