Academia Nut already warned against this exact sort of behaviour @Umi-san:
This has already passed and nothing came of it, but I'm still going to just mention it and request people don't engage in this sort of behaviour again.

These rely on our system actually HAVING systemic checks on the king's power. We don't; we have technical limits (due to communication and bureaucratic efficiency, and represented by our centralization) but no actual checks on his power.
The King usurping power is meaningless in our system.

You know the Xoh's strategy of inter marriages almost makes me wish we had heriditary if only for the fact that it would make diplo annexing other civs easier hell if we had heriditary we would have probably already diplo annexed the high land kingdoms

Hmmm...had a thoughtthis morning while skimming through as many of the new pages this thread has produced as i could stand... will pilgrimages to the Sacred Forest include the visitors getting helped via Sacred Warding after our priests explain our gods and cosmology? It is pretty much the most powerful (and well tested) sign of our gods' favor...

Still rather torn on the temple vote, and might very well switch to pilgrimage after breakfast...

Now this I consider an actual good point. Mayhap there are no true checks, but I was figuring that the political factions of the King, the Oligarchs, and the new Shamans act as their own primitive checks as factions.
Do you not agree?

No the actual question is: Is it impressively insane or insanely impressive?
Hmm, actually, you know, I think a Library as part of the temple that people go on pilgrimages to, might lead to people bringing knowledge as tribute. Let people come to us to give wisdom and legends as tribute. Let us give them wisdom and parables in return.
...I'll be changing my vote.

A few things that would help to shock pilgrims:
-The journey
--Metal Workers
---Travel along the coast they know to be Nomad infested, cleared by us where they get their meal of veal and fish after being checked for plague by crow masked shamans and possibly given the Warding(seems likely we'd give pilgrims the Sacred Warding). Sail past where people pull vast amounts of salt from the sea.
---To the great dye manufactories and forges of Redshore, where everyone is using starmetal for everything.
---Up the river, then entering an artificial river, to where the trees grow denser than anyone had ever seen.
-Lowlanders
--Travel up the the Badlands, through where thousands of ancient graves lie where those seeking refuge had fallen short, or through the bloody hills, where they get checked for plague by crow masked shamans and possibly given the Warding(seems likely we'd give pilgrims the Sacred Warding).
--Up the terraced, farm covered hills along the river, richer than the richest soils of the plains, sailing up the rivers to the great hidden city of Valleyhome, where trees and manmade streams and waterfalls run through a city on peer with distant Xohy, but not a single skull to be seen, nor the stink of humanity. Here they are given the ritual meal of veal and fruit.
--Then, as they trek over land with the large boat(which people are inexplicably carrying), they then come upon a NEW river, one carved by the hands of man, running through the great forests.
It's basically a tour!
Might happen, in which case we're back to status quo again
Hmm:
-Construction - Possibly mortar, used to join the statue together seamlessly? Or advanced joints for supports.
-Materials - Possibly figuring out Brass, since we have lead and copper already.
-Art - Lead glazing, sculpture techs...
So someone like Black Eagle is clearly Crow having a fine time playing a trick on the silly Highlanders, while the Xohysirri are clearly worshipping demons who don't deserve worship because they are bloodthirsty, untrustworthy fiends(distinct from OUR corpse eating troll), but are definitely quite powerful?

I did a three hour one as well if you recall. I was planning on doing a three day one, but forgot ._.
So I did a three week one.

Seeing things like this makes me certain that in the future when someone comes up with the Not!Internet there will be the dumb trolls, decent trolls, and then Ymaryn trolls the trolliest of them all.
...
Wow. That's a strange thought I just had.
So what if when the Not!Internet is created, Not!Spacebattles (distinct from Nega-SB) is eventually created and spawns Not!Sufficient Velocity, and on Not!Sufficient Velocity a Not!Academia Nut creates a Not!Paths of Civilization?

By "waterways" do you mean the rivers, or are we digging notably irrigation canals from the river outwards?

Cement Learning+Mysticism, keep it out of the shitshow that is Valleyhome right now.
Prestige is hard to get, Pilgrimage trade power is impossible to get. The art tech advance is remarkably tempting, though.

leverage the Hero and pray, lowlands are a mess also so don't count on the Thunderspeakers for anything. The People are generous, anyway. I have mild hopes of a crit and the Metal Workers just capitulate and absorb in. ;X
No change, rush out the Library and then switch to war footing. This is what the March is for, they can eat a turn of attacks.

Now we just have to hope that he crit succeeds on the RoO roll, both solving our crisis and cementing his importance as the second hero to get a heroic crit-success! (Plus if Magwyna's crit success is any indication, it would spawn a heroic heir...)
