Because they have a tendency to spontaneously combust?

Well, sadistic snake became jealous for their happiness and killed them. It happens

Eversummer has 3 religions:

a) The one that demands to obey the supreme being or get killed by inquisition
b) The one that demands to spend your lifetime learning
c) The one that demands to enjoy life and be free

Why do I think that religion c is the most attractive?

History is written by the winners, and I happen to be winning. Inquisition tolerates other faiths as long as they include Thaneos as a god, and I'll leave it at that for now, amongst other things because I felt kinda sorry for Vanida and didn't want to wipe out her followerbase. If she - or any other god - starts encroaching on the land I shaped and on the nation I forged, however, I may change my stance on the tolerance of other religions.

If your Darkness giants control Dark Clouds, I wonder what happens during the Eclipse to their influential strength?

Because you're paying attention to one specific trait of the three religions, with the only positive (or accurate) trait being that for c?
But yes, by itself Vandia's teachings should be pretty popular. Although one imagines her holy books would be banned from schools.

Vanida thinks otherwise

Vanida wouldn't mind including any gods in her religion if they don't bring some practices she'll never tolerate (human sacrifices\slavery\sexual abuse\overvaluing family) On other hand she believes that mortals have a right to choose whom they want to worship. That may be reason for grudge with Thaneos later as he does forcing people to worship him

Anyway, Thaneos isn't an enemy for her. He is a respected competitor

The Cult of the Wanderer is actually pretty pacifist. It only fought two wars, both for unification of the continent, and apart from that its laws encourage fair judgment of criminals, limitation and punishment of undeserved violence, and punishment of officials abusing of their powers. It abolished slavery and sacrifices, something which the Red Woman most certainly did not do, and the god of this cult has not demanded any particular obedience from its followers. It abolished barbarism and endless wars, and the regime is pretty enlightened for its time - emperor isn't a tyrant so far (and if he is, he will be replaced). All in all, Hadria is pretty much the best place to live on the planet, and all that thanks to one god.

Too bad you forgot to mention that, Ukrainian Ranger :P

Pretty much the same for the Children, but you kinda have to be a Child to get in. Still, we only sacrifice animals, and everything's pretty cool.

I don't sacrifice the Sragonborn, I sacrifice my supply of tame drakes.
