Given that the Imperial God isn't happening until we're MR 10 or something this could be years of us just ignoring that Viserys can grant cleric spells to followers. That's a pretty central theme to the Mythic Path that I'm against flat out avoiding.
Of course, dude.
The alternative is accidentally becoming a God and ignoring Yss warning that we could accidentally give ourselves a lobotomy by straying off the path.
You're ignoring the obvious solution -- just reject the worship.
This is a subject that's uncomfortable to talk about without a lot more IC knowledge about this issue, so we should just resolve to work out all the details and research the potential problems with our pet Deities before actually moving forward with anything or granting our spells.
I can agree to getting all relevant intel IC. It's this notion of preemptively shutting down such an important aspect of our Mythic Path that I'm objecting to.
You are denying that we may just have to if we are risking our long-term plans.
I'm really paranoid about making a mistake here since the consequences could irrevocably fuck our character arc, but because of that bias I will keep my peace on it until we are actually discussing the details.
I'm sorry... How am I doing this, exactly?
Agreed with that then.
Ah, but you need not to shy that bias away from me -
Since when can't you worship both the Seven and another god, isn't the agreement that you may do that, part of whatever accordance, that allowed them to coexist with the old gods?
Do the Seven's rules actually forbid animal sacrifice? I mean the commandment might say no blood sacrifice, but if every actual example of parables in the Sevens holy books about the evils of blood sacrifice, focus on the sacrifice of people, then you could argue that the holy texts, actually don't have much to say about sacrificing animals.
We might choose to have Clerics, but we wont choose to have priests, there's a difference, our clerics would be people who bound themselves to us for power, they wouldn't be expected to preach about our divinity to anyone, and they would be at least permitted if not encouraged, to also be normal worshippers of another religion, so as to see to all their afterlife needs.
*sets himself on fire*I am a anthropomorphized ninja army.
Useless while in concentrated amounts, but deadly when diminished and unexpected...
I only just now realized how brilliant the "enemies of humanity" category is.
No, what allowed them to coexist was when Andal kings finally got tired of trying to invade the North by land or sea and subsequently getting their asses kicked. This led to a sort-of-truce which lasted until the present day, and was based mostly on the understanding that both parts would keep to their lands.
So ballsy, I love it. I expect it to fail (D&D requires sincere belief and devotion to get divine spells) but trying it would be so amazing.
Pretty sure there's no non-clansmen Old Gods worshipers in the Vale. There's First Men houses like the Royces who are not out of touch with their roots, but they were all forced to convert back in the day and are only now actually going to change back.
