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.

E.  They've refused payment of their fine and are gathering troops together en masse - that's grounds enough for treason.

You order that Tech cloister is to be raided and captured.

7!*

A week later, you receive great news! The Tech cloister has fallen, cracked open by your Fireblood machines and then stormed by your soldiers. About one thousand Alldivine zealots, both youths and veteran clergy, has been killed. Several important religious leaders, who were, coincidentally, scheming there in the exact same moment, up to and including the Alldivine Archpriest, have been captured.

While the Alldivine hierarchy is in chaos, you should profit upon this marvelous victory. You decide to...

A) Demand that Alldivine Cloisters answer before the Crown first and before their high clerics second.
B) Begin a systematic campaign of capturing of Alldivine cloisters, to bring their militant faith down once and for all.
C) Negotiate again, this time at your palace, and with your guards at the clergy's back.
D) Show them mercy and let them go, so they can rethink their actions after this shameful defeat of theirs.

Ain't nothing in the rulebook that says the Emperor can't also be head of the Alldivines.

Fair enough. A.

Ain't nothing in the rulebook that says the Emperor can't also be head of the Alldivines.

Except it would put us in a very bad position when dealing with other faiths, and would hurt our religious equality decree.

Well... they were asking for us to get rid to the equality decree! But wait, going full Alldivine would torpedo our chance to peacefully merge with Pantheonist Cydwyl. I'll change my vote to C and negotiate peace from a position of strength.

The Alldivines are an eclectic cult to begin with which fits perfectly well with the precepts of religious equality, and just because we'd technically be their head authority doesn't mean we're actually religiously significant - think something like the Church of England for which the English monarch acts as Supreme Governor. And furthermore, even if we're a secular head of a religion, with a bit of work we can still remodel the Alldivines to a kind of imperial cult in the future that ought to act as a cultural known quantity and add a dimension of legitimacy to our reign beyond historical happenstance.

I also don't think Cydwyl is militantly Pantheonist or anything, it's just one of those situations where they're mostly Pantheonists and so that's the state religion, just like it was for Luathbas.
