Kingdom of God: A Quest of Holy Revolution

Also, Sword-Altar is rather large for a standard, but we're still only talking about 10,000 men or so, just to keep in mind numbers.

Having stirred the entire city against them in righteous outrage, it's rather unlikely they can win without their coup succeeding in taking the Heavenly Mount (and the Patriarch) right away. So we probably really do need more votes and effort on securing the Holy Mount to make sure they fail there. And if they fail to capture the Patriarch the entire coup attempt will fall apart.

It's the center of gravity in this situation and that's where we need to be in force.

[X] Menace Vikrag Prison and prevent sorties [Nuns of the Gunpowder Eucharist will support this action].

[X] Send scouts to observe Jury movements on and off of the bridges leading out of the Navel, with their intent to send their swiftest runners when it appears that they are mobilizing reinforcements from elsewhere in the city.

There's three big bridges so I'd suggest at least one more on this if you think it's useful, but otherwise pump the defenses elsewhere.

Well, we have 4 votes for the Heavenly Mount right now. Which I would say is probably the bare minimum.

We've got a good amount of Sect Power aimed at fortification, our military allies and slowing down the Sword-Altar right now, but I dont feel comfortable.

Maybe 1 more vote on the Sailors. But I think a plurality on the Heavenly Mount-Patriarch is probably necessary.

Bleary-eyed Chailani Rostam cannot shout– not from any disability but rather from festivities the eve prior, where he and other disciples had broken to acappellic rancour. Celebration, he said rather hoarsely, was far too ill-timed.

The son of a Low Priest baker beseeched his brethren with polished rifles and sisters with daubed gunpowder that now, we must remember that history does not repeat perfectly. The Infaillable Patriarchs were cast down by the Sword-Altar, and the divinity of Amalgast was shackled as a result. In this present, the Patriarch Santsarran – blessed be Him – is a creature of the cloister. Divinity and the majesty of change no longer lies within the vessel of Amalgast in full. Nay, Rostam clapped his hands in emphasis, it has since been bestowed to the Sanhedron.

This majesty may be imperfect, with its conformers and moderates and Autocephalate Elders that do not wish to sacrifice their all for the world to come– but it is real. Real enough to be a target of the holy-killing Jurors. Many among the sects of Nachivan, many among the mouflons and priests and witches would come to realize this too. But they, Rostam held his rifle aloft, have but zeal. Vashti's demise told us that zeal is not enough. To the attention of HaKhofshim and all bystanders, Rostam stomp his foot and takes the Arch-Angelform of Simurgh with feathers of sacred bullets jangling about him.

We, are Pugilists. Ours are the spiral that extinguished the serf-shackling Jurors with pike and shot. Ours are the spiral that brought the voices of Mouflons – of tillers and toilers all – to the House of God.

Ours, will now be the spiral that protects that House of God.

[X] Build barricades in the streets and fortify the Great Synod [Ravs of Labour will support this actin].

I'm okaying the send messengers to Alangan Yards write-in @DocMatoi posted but I'll say you don't need more than 1-2 votes for it, especially because the city is going to very rapidly become difficult to navigate.

In that case I will be changing my vote to supply the other vote for:

EDIT: Changed Vote Changed.

Eeerrr. Cetash said we just need 1-2 votes for Sailors. With this we have 3. Which is too much to be effective I think.

I wonder if it's worth sending people specifically to check on the two bridges across the Hanagra. We can't force the bridge across the Hadit right away, because it has nearby fortresses on both sides and the Sword Altar only has to defend a single chokepoint. But the Hanagra bridges don't seem to have any nearby fortresses to defend them. There are also two of them, and we only have to storm one to link up with whatever forces may be on the other side...

That said, we're almost on the other side of the city from them, so maybe not.
