Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.

Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.

A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.

3/6

Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.

I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

You send a messenger to the Cloister, requesting mercenaries in exchange for your money.

1098 AD, Spring

Your Army has begun moving again in the Donuth lands as the weather weakened and snows melted somewhat. There's not much to do, though, as only few raider parties are found. Cydwyl soldiers met in the ravaged land report that their main forces are now siegeing the capital city, still held by few hundred of Donuth loyalists.

A new caravan of spices arrives!

1to2*

People buy the roots and flowers and powders readily, earning Treasury a neat profit.

Few days later, your wife gives birth to her first child! Your courtiers are thrilled to learn that its a girl! Segeda names her 'Gea', after her mother, and your courtiers host a really enthusiastic feast to celebrate this most joyous of moments. You feel they're a bit sarcastic.

The morning after the feast, Battlebrother Gnarl arrives at your court.

"Greetings, King Yoe! We have heard your call for our services, and we heed it with great pleasure, but our Cloistermasters believe that it is time for closer ties to develop between our faithful and your military."

"What are you suggesting?"

"That Alldivine faith becomes the national religion of Methiant. Convert along with your court, and we shall move in to your castles and keeps, spreading our knowledge of matters both military and mystical amongst your faithful subjects."

SLAM! Goes the door as the Marshal jumps in, his cape fluttering behind him.

"My liege! Foreign philosophies should remain apart from our own beliefs. Ought we upset the soldiers by forcing them to abandon their personal Pantheonist or Singularist creeds and replace them with teachings they might not wish to follow? Nay I say!"

A) "The Marshal speaks right. We ought to keep our relationship with the Cloisters on the level of purchasing their mercenary services."
B) "It's about time we unite together in body in soul! Bring the philosophers and veterans and commandants, we shall call them brothers in arms and faith!"
C) "A mere mention of such a proposal turns my stomach, Battlebrother Gnarl! Begone, as I shall not need Alldivine warrior-priests after all.

Isn't the whole thing with the all divines that All the faiths are legitimately divine?

Ye but so far they had no government actually replacing their traditional faith with them. They're just like, self-caring, philosophy-founded, mercenary guilds for poor and homeless at the moment ;v

A notion started by a ex-soldier turned philosopher, the Alldivines saw all various deities of various pantheons as 'concepts' that were divine and worthy of praise no matter their origin,

I don't see how this would create friction. Tolerance is literally a core concept of the faith.

D - Request mercenary aid this year, but request them to come back in a year so that you can have some scholars run the army and try and figure out how disruptive the faith would be to our soldiers, then make a more informed decision.

[Harry Baldman]

B! Our military is at an all time low and our happiness is at an all time high, it's time to do some goddamn military reforms!

[mightymushroom]

What is our official religion, currently? Yoe I & II have seemed pretty tolerant Duedes already . . .

I don't see how this would create friction. Tolerance is literally a core concept of the faith.

And the risk is less the Alldivines leading a purge than the common people distrusting new, "foreign" ideas, I think.
I mean, we've made no progress at all on changing the succession laws . . .

Hey, what's the Alldivine policy toward queens?

[helmacon]

Well, they have been serving alongside them for years in the military, and they have numerous enclaves as well as that fort we gave them, so they probably have at least a moderate familiarity with our people.

[omada]

Hmmm, trade hapiness for their military boost seems nice, it's worth and we can continue to increase hapiness till we get 10 happiness but... i don't know, ah...fuck it B
