The Passing of Beautiful Histories (Civ Quest)

King Omon has barely begun his reign before the garrison commander at Gadawa requests his personal assistance. As a man who'd had some experience with the last time the Gadawa commander "requested aid with temple issues", Omon strongly preferred not to have another Oracle overthrown, complete with sudden restructuring of the political climate, so instead of sending soldiers, he came himself.

Which was probably a good thing, since the Oracle's commandments for good living were... causing some problems, to say the least.

On the one hand, there was a group of priests who had taken the name Sevali, the Literalists. They were of the opinion that every word from the Oracle's mouth should be taken as absolute and as truths of creation, whether or not those words were sensible, reasonable, or in at least one case, even coherent.

The second group, a collection of mostly-older sages, took up the title of Alameya, the Faithful. They were of entirely the opposite opinion, that the current Oracle was mad, possibly even cursed, and that only a bare handful of her actual commandments had any sense to them as they likely applied to all spirits, not just the evil ones whispering to her.

Between the two groups, the commander had already broken up eight aggrieved wrestling fights as well as dispersed an actual mob procession.

There was one group who took the title of Meyalani, Philosophers. These priests were somewhere in the middle, certain that the Oracle's words were, for the most part, faithful repetitions of the ancestors' and spirits' own, but that it was ultimately impossible for Men to comprehend the actual intent or context of the situations their words were meant to apply to. Their stance was simply to pick the most sensible-looking things the Oracle said and compile them into rules, and leave the rest for the priests and sages to meditate on to draw closer to the spirits' true intentions.

Finally, there was the King's Group, Nimina, or Burnished. They were of the opinion that the laws of the spirits were for the spirits (or, at least those who were meant to interact with them), and that it should be the King who gave out these commandments, as his spirit was deemed to have the right qualities to decide such things anyway.

Wandering directly into the middle of this mad scuffle was King Omon himself, who had only one thing to say about all this.

[] Why on earth are you bothering me with this nonsense?! (Lets The Arguments issue burn itself out, ???)
[] Side with the Literalists (Officially back the Literalist movement, which requires barely any personal input to deal with the outcome and completes the Codify Laws megaproject with all components determined by the Oracle)
[] Side with the Faithful (Officially back the Faithful movement, which requires barely any personal input to deal with the outcome and effectively cancels the Codify Laws megaproject, and also forcibly replaces the Oracle mid-term)
[] Side with the Philosophers (Officially back the Philosopher movement, which will require a significant time commitment to iron out the details with - One random action will be heavily penalized (if it's a megaproject action, only a partial penalty will apply), and the Codify Laws megaproject will complete with additional miniturn influence from the King)
[] Side with the Burnished (Officially back the Burnished movement, which will utterly stall most of the King's other plans - Cancel the Palace Megaproject, instead do a modified Codified Laws project and receive a near-full refund for the Palace cost)
