Well, better leave that up to the new Queen then. Pretty strange though, at the start of the war Arianne was simply a knight, now she's Queen... promotions do indeed go quickly. And yes, the demanding of a theocracy of the Order of the Elders was not thought that well through...

Since when has *anything* regarding the Order of the Elders been well thought through?

Valid, considering they use the names of pagan gods.  Which I thought was a bit of a no-no, as there are pagan sects that still pay homage to said gods...  It'd be like creating a religion with a god named Jesus Christ and claiming to not be Christianity.

Pretty sure that exists. You know how religious people can be. All crazy and stuff.

Eh, naming your gods after Norse gods is a reasonably common fantasy trope.

Reasonably tacky you mean.  Of course, most fantasy doesn't have a prohibition on RL religions in it either.  And while minor, Norse pagans still exist.

And there's probably people that still worship fire, water, and dirt. Does that mean religions like Aetheris Pyrism, Verdis Elementum, and other elemental-worship religions should be banned?

Yes, we don't allow people to mimic RL religions in BattleMaster. But let's use some common sense in it, please.

Verdis Elementum doesn't worship the elements, they study them, as they allow a better understanding of the gods. No one has ever really bothered to elaborate much on these said gods, though.

So if I start worshiping Bloodstars, I can destroy SA?

If the Elders worshiping variants of the Norse gods was a problem you'd think they would've been told to change them by now. That goes for the other Norse-esque religions I've run into in the game before that still exists.

Let's not drag that endless religious debate into this thread.

Yes, let's not. I love when the FEI forum has lots of new posts in it, but I'd much rather they didn't involve religious arguments.

Now now. . .when has anything a Himoura has done been well thought out?

The Order didn't get to be the largest faith in FEI for many years without some skill and hard work.

It seems fitting that during its decline we let Thain take the reigns. . . :D

Ohnar West is winning. Just saying.

Shhhh.   We're still commanding about 1/3 the peasants anyways.   Pity though, I think Thraymn still has a report from when we had 700,000+
