[X] You decide you're not going to hide parts of your people's history just to make some humans more comfortable. The evidence points towards The First Mother and Sol Invictus being one and the same, and after any initial issues you're sure that knowledge will improve relations between human and manakete going forwards. After all, the Empire is mostly okay with Sol Invictus, so surely they'd be okay with her first children too.
[X] You all decide to return to Starhelm and regroup with the main army. You've done what you needed to do, and if there are any more Imperial scout groups the Solar Knights will deal with them.

Alcor convinced me right as I was about to vote for the other thing, lol

[X] You all decide on a very risky move: try to bait the Imperial force that had been planning on going to take Hornglade into carrying through with its mission. This will take some doing, as you don't have a complete understanding of the signals and signs the scouting force had been using, but Artemis thinks it's possible they could be diverted into an ambush on the Northern Kingdom side of the border. This would give the united armies a chance to deal a meaningful blow to the Imperial host if it works, but if it doesn't, you could either fail to lure them out, or accidentally engage them in the Divine Realm, something that would severely irritate Mother Marina and other Solar Knights.

[X] You decide Melissa does make some good points.

You'll have centuries to figure out how to best share the oneness of Sol Invictus and the Mother, no need to rush it.

-[X] That said, both you and Melissa are entirely too wet behind the ears and lacking in knowledge to do more than make vague guesses. The mother/Sol combined Hearth to the Dragon, exactly to give temperance and sensibility to her children. And the temperate and sensible option would be to consult, if not older, then at least more experienced and wiser heads than your own. People like Melissa's mother, or aunt, or that charming abbot Father Simon.

Dragging the favorite little girl of the garrison into heresy feels like a non pragmatic move. Best to grab a higher up so they can sway everyone without being swayed back in turn. Letting the scouts disappear wastes time and resources of the empire in a way attacking doesn't.

Alright, clear win for going back to touch base with friendly forces.
As for the other vote, since the two variants of not spreading the idea widely/deliberately are pretty close, I'm going to have a quick run-off just in case some of the people who voted for the original version just didn't notice it; I had meant to make a note of it on the original vote but forgot.
There is a bit of risk that someone might take it badly (there will be a roll). Not nearly as much as openly discussing it, but enough that I don't just want to assume people'd be happy with it.

Just a 2 day vote for this one, and if it seems really one-sided then I'll call it early.

I fully believe that any religious debate as serious as this can wait until the war is over and we don't risk muddying the waters for potential allies. Individual connections and relationships are pretty serious in a Fire Emblem world and I'm worried about damaging one and causing issues down the line.

I stand by nudging the status quo to whisper to other manakete that it's gonna get better.

There's no bigger hot button for theocrats than questioning their dogma. Prodding at this issue, even indirectly, can only end badly. The alliance cannot afford for Ryza to alienate a potential ally, even temporarily.
