There are OOC gains to religions– like an ability to manipulate your peasants, and prevent their manipulation by other religions.

What's OOC about that?

Indeed. This will make getting support against Aurvandil even easier.

So why would Aurvandil would want a religion, apart from the OOC gains?

Because it gets Allison to be on their side?
After all it's a roleplaying game.

lol, um, yes and no.

They are against in principle, but their commitment to support is somewhat limited.

Indeed, and a crusade hasn't been called.

If the north was actually funding the 'moot, this war would be a total piece of cake.

The north has very limited options for waging war. About all we can do is offer food/gold. Or maybe monster hunting support. Unless Terran's capital gets attacked. It's just too far.

I thought the spreading of religion was forbidden in Aurvandil, I don't know if it was because it's another kind of power that in a certain moment could mean some rivalry for the monarchic regime or if there's another reason. However, if they're allowing it to happen I guess is somehow because of the reason VonGenf says.

Maybe not to have Allison within their ranks, she has probed to be a quite ambitious character, which in a realm with such strong and restricted hierarchy seemed to have not room. But as Dustole said, she was well accompanied in number of acolytes and funds, and whether Aurvandil is strong, it's never so bad to have a bunch of new nobles with some experience and filled pockets.

Allison didn't take that many people with her. 5 or 6, tops. I'm waiting until the day she leads a rebellion against Mendicant. :p
