I don't know how things are in all of your cushy coastal realms, because it doesn't sound like we are playing on the same continent at all.
Cushy coastal realms? I think not.
Maybe it is not where we are playing, so much as HOW we are playing.
Instead of alienating the entire continent, we have chosen to work with our neighbors to help each other regain territory.
I don't see how you think that worshiping something that
creates Daimons is going to win you allies on this continent.
