I agree with disliking the whole superiority thing. So long as they follow our will they don't necessarily need to follow the will of the Shamans

[X] Bestow your blessing on the efforts to have the Bay Village support the settlements under direction of the shamans.
With the rise of the shamans into a position of power, it is only a matter of time until the warriors gain more prestige and wealth in their society and get looked at as leaders, having the Bay Village centralized will help the same warriors in their efforts of becoming more known and viewed as leaders in outlying villages.

Woo, new Domain! Now that is a pleasant surprise.
I have no problem being proven wrong on that particular point.

I know it would probably end in utter disaster for the local ecology but I want to try aligning the forest region with our sea domain to attempt to fix the potential problems discussed with transportation capacity, and our people potentially straying away from us eventually as a result of moving away from the sea making our domains less relevant to them.
With, that in mind here's my vote.
[] Bestow your blessing on the efforts to have the Bay Village support the settlements under direction of the shamans.
This, way even if our re-shaping of the region goes to shit they still have the Bay Village to fall back on, and the rivers created by us aligning the land with our domain should even help with that. And, if the region shaping goes well then we just get more Bay Villages dotted inland effectively so I see this as at least moderately viable.

I would be all for it if we had a Water Domain instead of a Sea one. If we did an alignment now, we would just be bringing saltwater further inland, which is poor for both future potential agriculture and for contamination of clean drinking water.

We're a god of the sea I don't doubt our ability to create plants that you can grow in or from saltwater, and I'd point out that this plan already necessitates the boiling of water to acquire freshwater so by aligning the region we're simply moving the source closer to them.

The whole "moving away causing distance" is why we ought to try to formalise some Pantheon-like systems.
Yes, followers inland are not going to worship a Sea Spirit directly, but if they think of Proud Waters as Sky Child's closest ally who helps them out whenever neccesary, we're the one they'll turn to whenever the Sea becomes relevant again.
If we bless the trees at the same time we could conceivably make our own mangrove forest.
Assuming IRL biology we could start salt production that way.

The Sky Child hasn't exactly been making a great showing of itself recently, to be honest at least with regards to returning the same level of trust we put in it so I'd rather not attempt to formalize a pantheon for the time being especially when we can simply transform regions to help us remain relevant.
Good point we don't actually know what "aligning the region" would actually do. Would, it just align the land itself with the sea domain or would it attempt to align the plants or wildlife in it as well?

If we obtain the healing domain then we can align it with that, it'd be less likely to cause pain with healz.

I don't think that would actually fix any of the problems with settling the region though namely the food, water, and transportation troubles that we could potentially solve by aligning the region with our sea domain.
Aligning the land with the sea will only solve the last problem. Salt water is not safe to drink or to irrigate fields. The athens founding myth shows that.

I will admit, I can appreciate taking a Kyogre approach to staying relevant.

I don't really see much of a problem with the sea not being relevant in our people's move inward because beside of it we are also God of healing , as well as death which is a really big deal for our people and aspects of us they can actually worship opposed to the Sea.

I personally think that having multiple separates groups would help us get new domains and legends. Even if our main domain is irrelevant to them, they're going to focus on an aspect of us. They might focus on our fishing aspect and conflate it with hunting. They might focus on boating. They focus on the death aspect, focusing on our conflict with the devourer.

I'd be fine with either, but this will incentivize us to really get the healing domain, so that we are still helping them, and divine aspects or just further pantheon based incentment sounds like the most fun even if it may not technically be optimal.
