By the midturn? Nah, it'll take more than 4 Progress to finish it.

What makes you think that? The Sunrise Mountain Passage only took 4 progress to complete without the extension. It wouldn't surprise me if the Temple took a similar amount of progress.

You need to check your definition of brutally murdered. It was a swift and painless killing that done legally under the law.
As for the corpse on display, Bronwyn is quite happy to have her famous beauty on display for future generations to see it for themselves. That outcome is probably the only part of this that she likes.

She won't be a statue because she'll be dead and in the afterlife. This is what counts as "Mercy" in the eyes of the Cadlon-Goddess.
Her corpse, by the way, is kept on display to serve as an example to future "sinners", to warn them of happens to those who draw the ire of the Mother.
(only slightly worse fate than angering a human mother)
Before all this, I would've guessed a Temple to be worth 6 Progress.

Wanna bet that rather than taking it as a warning, people will look at it in awe and worship it?

Vanity project by the Cadlon?

Painless maybe, but I don't think that "kept in a totally paralysed body for several seasons before finally dying" counts as a swift death.
(the murder part is a technicality added for dramatic effect, I need to shore up support for the best goddess wherever I can)
As they should, this is a woman who defied the Goddess and is technically still standing!Wanna bet that rather than taking it as a warning, people will look at it in awe and worship it?

*thinks*...
I for one, would rather ignore the Temple for the Sacred Forest.
Now hear me out on this: The People are WIGGED OUT because their Queen just got Petrified. They wish to venerate the Goddesses. It's one thing to build some big Stone monument like a Temple, and I can't say that's not a bad route.
But here's the thing. A Sacred Forest? That has some interesting connotations. An angle that would serve well to remind us that we aren't simply mindlessly following the paths of history, but learning from it to forge a new path.

She is already dead. Her spirit is just being kept in limbo for a bit before she can join the afterlife.

Ah, so the people are, in fact, dwarves.
Their leader died in front of their eyes, but they also saw a neat statue, so it evens out.

Arthryn is the one who gave us stone shaping though, and is generally starting to become more associated with stone as her element (as seen with petrifying Bronwyn).
A monument in stone would surely bring her favor, yes?

I think the announcement was to everyone, but the fact that the People showed barely any reaction to it makes me doubt that.

Yes. She is being punished for putting her family before the good of the People.
I don't understand: why hasn't the government type immediately defaulted backwards when our deity literally just "I AM YAHWE AND YOU SHALL FEAR ME!" over the matter of a hereditary monarchy?

If the soul is in the body and is getting sensory information from the body, I count it as still being part of the body.
In which case Bronwyn is only dead in a technical sense, in that her body has ceased biological function. If that's the token we measure killing the living by, Evalyn shouldn't get credit for killing Urth as he was already dead by that point.
You just reminded me that there's an actual chance the Arthryn Divine Magic Tree has Petrification located somewhere far down.
... Okay, that is admittedly an excellent reason to keep worshipping her.
Considering Arthryn boomed out to everyone why she punished Bronwyn, it is certainly not her fault if they don't.

Maybe because it has support of two other goddesses ?

They did. It just wasn't shown on screen because I got fed up of trying to write that scene right.
Mainly double think.
But there is also the fact Arthryn is the only one who is against a hereditary monarchy. Everyone else is neutral or actively for it. Plus both Wyrn and Evalyn support the hereditary monarchy and they are both goddesses well. At the end of the day, they had to choose, the Arthwyd would go for Divine Royal Family over Born Equal, but since they are all terrified of angering Arthryn by doing that. In-universe, the hereditary monarchy has popular support and the majority of the People think that having it is in the best interests of the People.
Are you talking about the Merntir or the Maradysh?
