Stewart's practice of migrating believers does not violate the three major conventions or the rules of the nobility. Although the churches of the gods see it, they can only let it go. In fact, all the elves on the Elf Island believe in the elven pantheon, and all the dwarf kingdoms believe in the dwarf pantheon. These are considered the integration of politics and religion.

The Kingdom of Rus, which believes in the God of Killing, can also be considered a theocratic country, but it was split from the Slavic Empire. It is impossible for the Church of the Gods of Faerûn to think of such a simple approach, but it is just unable to do it due to historical reasons, which makes the Duchy of Stewart the first in the Faerûn divine system.

As for what to do with Duke Stewart's title after Carona (Christine) became a god, everyone chose to ignore it. In the past, I could still have a name when I was a legend. Now that I have become a god, I must completely break away from the secular world. But who will inherit it? This is another unsolvable problem. In fact, no one has a solution.

So they all felt that it was better to let Alicia continue to act as an agent. As for what to do in the future, they can only say that they must trust the wisdom of future generations.

The coronation celebration of Pope Elena of the Goddess of Life Church was very grand. Basically all races, churches, countries, and organizations in the main world sent envoys and gifts. The church has also demonstrated its strength. In addition to more than a dozen formal priests headed by Bishop Phyllis Coleman, there are also dozens of apprentices with priest qualifications. The Goddess Knights have also appeared in public for the first time. appear in front of.

All forces can predict that it is only a matter of time before the goddess of life Karona grows into a powerful true god, so they naturally have to show their intentions in advance.

As missions from various churches, kingdoms, principalities, and guilds came to participate in Pope Elena's coronation celebration, the "Continental Convention" was revised, stipulating that nobility was not allowed to artificially create such religious settlements. . However, this can only limit latecomers, not those that already exist.

Among the three major covenants, the "Covenant of the Gods" is the highest and is the rule set by the gods. The "Continental Convention" was followed by the participation of churches, kingdoms, principalities, and guild organizations in its formulation. At the end of the "Nobles' Convention", the kingdom, principality, field viscount and above participated in the formulation. As for the "Legendary Convention", it has nothing to do with ordinary people or even small nobles.

Since the people in the villages and towns in the inhabited areas are all believers who have migrated from various places, the church and the lord's government jointly issued an order: only devout believers can serve as village chiefs, security guards, village heads and other positions, and devout believers will be given priority to manage mills, fisheries, etc. Tang, join the militia, etc.

Antinomianism is all about spreading the glory of God.

Pure faith is not strong, but it is different once it is combined with interests, which makes the number of devout believers continue to increase.

The reason why devout believers are allowed to hold management positions at the village level is because these jobs do not require high personal abilities, as long as they can convey the orders from above without distortion and lead the villagers to get things done. Besides, with the priest here, even if the village chief and others are less capable, there won't be any big problems.

The originally planned money-burning plan has also begun to be implemented. Merchants and stores opened by believers of the Goddess of Life can obtain more luxury goods distribution shares or purchase qualifications for in-demand goods. Some raw material procurement and item processing orders are also given priority to the Goddess of Life. believer. This forced some profit-seeking businessmen to encourage their second-born children to believe in the new gods in exchange for commercial benefits.

After reconciling with the Poseidon Church, Stewart no longer lost money to provide escort services, and was no longer obligated to exterminate pirates. The Apennine Kingdom finally got its wish and joined the "North Atlantic Treaty Organization". The organization reached a unified escort price and monopolized 90% of the mainland's shipping market. The remaining 10% was provided by the Piast Kingdom, It is jointly owned by the Principality of Wende, the Principality of Rhodes Sea and the Dwarf Kingdom.

The "North Atlantic Treaty Organization" announced that its fleets will give priority to providing escort services to believers in the gods of order, war, light, dragon, courage, life, sea, and elves.

This is a conspiracy, and other True God churches have no good way to deal with it. Anyone can travel on land trade routes, and even nobles cannot block them without reason. The guards of caravans are usually mercenaries, and no one can monopolize them. But it is different at sea. Escorts must have ships. Coastal nobles other than the "North Atlantic Treaty Organization" simply do not have this strength. Even if an individual noble had a few warships converted from merchant ships, pirates would sink them.

In just half a year, the number of followers of the Goddess of Life increased tenfold. Thanks to the dozen or so people brought by Bishop Phyllis Coleman, otherwise the church would not even have enough priests to send to the village to preside over the temple. In order to train priests, Pope Elena followed the oracle and established a seminary in Stewart City and conducted a census throughout the territory to select children with priest qualifications to study there.

The speed of development of the Goddess of Life Church is considered miraculous in the eyes of others, but for Karona (Christine), considering that the church’s development too fast will lead to unstable foundation, she still has a lot of time to expand the number of believers in a short period of time. There is no way to come up with it.

If there is no accident, then an accident will definitely happen and break the peace.

Mystra, the goddess of magic, felt the flavor of conspiracy from the behavior of the death recorder Jergal. How could an ancient god of death who was accustomed to hiding behind the scenes take action to snatch the priesthood of another god for the sake of a new god. If this kind of thing was done by the barbaric God of War, she would not be surprised, but it was not in line with Jergal's style.

In the prophecy of the union of gods, the goddess of magic Mystra saw a vague image. One day in the future, the magic network will escape her control. Whether it is temporary or permanent, it is unclear.

This couldn't help but remind her of the first-generation magic goddess Mythrine, who died because of Kasas, a great arcanist in the Netheril Magic Empire. This genius invented the twelfth-level spell "Kasas Apotheosis" and successfully replaced the goddess of magic. However, he died because he was unable to process the huge amount of information, which caused the magic network to go out of control and the Netheril Magic Empire to be destroyed.

There is also a saying that Casas acted like this with the encouragement of the death recorder Jergal.

(The setting of this book), the reason why Casas was exploded is that his soul was not calcined and strengthened by the divine fire, and he did not have a godhead. This is also the reason why this situation does not happen when a mortal ignites the divine fire to become a god. .

Casas did not have divine fire or divine personality, so he died after successfully performing the "Kasas Divine Enlightenment Technique". What would happen if a god who inherited the legacy of Netheril's magical empire cast the same spell?
