Remnant as it once was is dead. Centuries ago, a great cataclysm tore apart the ancient Four Kingdoms, the once-mighty bastions of civilizations were laid to waste, their people dispersed and scattered. The great Academies were toppled, the CCTS towers splintered and abandoned. Though many cities and relics survive as vestiges of generations past, much more has been lost to ignorance and neglect, worn thin by the sands of time. Now, Remnant belongs to the Grimm, those antediluvian nightmares born of soulless hate and boundless, hungering avarice.
Hunters and Huntresses still labor at their ancient task, one no closer to completion than when their very first member took her first steps on the path to greatness. However, with the Academies now haunted, ruinous wrecks, their way of life has changed irrevocably. They are bound to their masters, the dynastic lords that rule the shattered world from their walled cities, their castles and hillforts.
Yes, much has changed. Where Four Kingdoms once stood, a hundred squabbling realms have consumed their territory, ravenous crows that circle the corpse of the world. Petty Kings, Tribal Chiefs, and Despots by the score squabble endlessly. They are the Carrion Lords, and they vie for riches, power and glory, all of which can be seized if one endeavors to win them.
Religion, once a dormant and soft-spoken whisper in the hearts of Remnants citizens, now roars in the souls of men and faunus alike. Most popular are the Children of Remnant, who pray to the world they trod upon, believing that one day, its dreaming inhabitant will send a Promised Huntsman, one that will purge the grimm forever, allowing them to live in peace and harmony. The Progentorists pray to a pantheon of Gods and Goddesses, ignorant of their deities' very real origins, which now lie shrouded in ancient myths and fairytales. Others beseech the Maidens of the Seasons, those rare women that wield immeasurable power. Also, there are whisperings of a much darker cult that grows in strength and influence - a coven of twisted beings that worship the Creatures of Grimm.
It is a time of death, war, betrayal and disease. It is a time where each victory against the dark is rare and hard-fought. It is a time of dynasties, of gods, of soldiers and Huntsmen. It is is a time unlike any other.
But this nightmare is your home, your duty. You are a Carrion Lord, wielding a significant degree of power and prestige. A week after your eighteenth birthday, your realm is thrust upon you. What will you make of the Age of Grimm?

Atlesian - Hard people from a harsh land, Atlesians hail from Solitas, the north continent, and make up much of the western and norther areas of the continent. From their old kingdom they take their unwavering discipline and ancestral knowledge of Dust.
Allows:
Mantler - Much of Solitas fell to chaos in the aftermath of The End, and the Mantlers were the worst-affected. Through generations of trial and suffering, these people have become mighty, crowing defiance into the frozen wastes.
Allows:
Mistralan - Living in lands bursting with popular luxuries and rich soils, Mistralans are well-known for their festivals as well as their complex high culture. Patrons of the arts, they are often envied as much as they look down on others.
Allows:
Nikean - At home in the hills of west Anima, the Nikeans lay claim to some of the oldest standing cities and fortresses in all Remnant. Masters of all manner of warfare, Nikeans are popular mercenaries.
Allows:
Menagerai - Hailing from the ancient colony of Kuo Kuana, Menagerai are very-often Faunus instead of Human. The unique circumstances of the island protected it from most of the storm of madness that was The End, so while it lacked much self-sustenance scientifically or industrially, Menagerie boasts some of the most comprehensive records of history on the planet.
Allows:
Vacuan - In the settled territories of West Sanus, the Vacuans rule. With fickle rains, untrustworthy ground, and harsh sunlight, a tradition of talent in rulers and cheapness in construction have taken root.
Allows:
Termina - At the tips of the Great Deserts lie the Terminals, ancient monoliths to the ideas held dear by the Terminian people. In a sense, the most advanced peoples on Remnant, the Terminian people live day by day, deal by deal, and their sense of loyalty and freedom is impressive among Lords.
Allows:
Valesian - Valesians are known for their love of archaeology and storied past, and they embrace it wholeheartedly. Home to the former leading Old Kingdom, in the most ideal land for civilization, Valesians prefer to have their Lords be as legitimate and deliberate as possible.
Allows:
Vytali - The Vytali originally homed on the Vytal Islands at the northern tip of Sanus, but their seafaring nature and natural prowess with Aura quickly saw them overtaking many lesser tribes and townships along the East Sanus coasts.
Allows:
Solitas - A cold land to the north, rich in dust and preserved ancient technology.
Gives:
Anima - Eastern lands of luxury and fertile hills, Anima is a land of idylls.
Gives:
Menagerie - An isolated island continent, Menagerie is a long-forgotten 'prison'.
Gives:
West Sanus - A land of deserts, steppes, and unstable weather, West Sanus is harsh, but easy to traverse.
Gives:
East Sanus - Mountains, lush forests, secluded islands, and natural harbors make East Sanus one of the most secure places to live.
Gives:
Spectrum - Long-abandoned in times past, Spectrum is now a shining beacon to the desperate and hopeful.
Gives:
Children of Remnant
The most popular and proselytized religion in Remnant, it teaches that the world has endured a cycle of eons since its creation by the Nameless One, a being that created the universe and bestowed souls upon the people of Remnant before sealing himself within the planet and falling into a fitful sleep. Now, they believe world is in its final eon - the cycle is ending. When that day comes, the Promised Hunter will arrive to purge the lands of Grimm and evil forever. Then, the Nameless One will emerge, and Remnant will become a joyous paradise of eternal life and boundless harvests.
Community is important to its followers, and their temples are often found within rock formations or dug deep into the earth, to be closer to the heart of Remnant. Its priests are referred to as Deacons, and preach the Nameless One's Songs to all that will listen. The head priest or priestess is stripped of their name and identity, and is charged to wander the world as the Blessed Huntsman.
Since Dust is mined from Remnant (and appears to be limitless), they regard the substance with a degree of respect, and often incorporate it into their rituals, clothing, and constructions.
It is most popular in the former realms of Vale and Vacuo, and maintains a strong presence in what was once Mistral.
Features:
Concubinage - All souls are one, so why not unite as many as possible under your household? Allows you to take Concubines. Children of Concubines are legitimate heirs, but aren't considered for inheritance until the primary inheritors have their say.
Temple Vassals - Deacons that rule over Temple Lands pay tribute to you, and are connected to the larger network of the Children.
Holy War - The Children are in danger! The Blessed Huntsman has rallied the faithful!
Blessed Huntsman - The Blessed Huntsman is welcome in your realm, and fostering a good relationship with one is beneficial to your rule.
Rites of the Progenitors
The second most common religion found in the Age of Grimm is the Rites of the Progenitors, or more commonly, the Progentiorists. They hold aloft a sacred pantheon of immortal deities, who reign over the forces of Nature and the capricious whims of the Heart. Many stories, myths, and fairytales shroud these luminous beings, legends from a time long forgotten, when Gods and Goddesses walked upon the face of Remnant. They also maintain a strong tradition of ancestor worship, believing those that came before are to be treated with dread respect.
They maintain no formal priesthood, though many communities gather around those commonly known as 'Tellers', humans and faunus well-versed in the stories of their chosen deity (or all of them).
The religion is most popular in the frigid Atlesian Kingdoms, as well as the Eastern City-States that occupy the former Kingdom of Mistral. It is also growing, though its archaic traditions and decentralized nature have slowed its progress.
Counted among their Pantheon are the following:
The Thorned One - The Goddess of Justice, Hope and Hunters, she is most popular among the youthful and bold, who yearn for adventure and to render judgment upon Grimm and the wicked.
The Knight of Frost - The Goddess of Dust, War, and Technology. Immensely popular in the former realm of Atlas, this frigid yet caring Goddess holds domain over the Silverlands, the resting place for those who have died after living righteous lives. She is most popular among soldiers and tinkerers, and many of her adherents possess a strong sense of civic duty.
The Shadowed Sword - Goddess of Death, Faunus, the Moon, and Night. She is commonly depicted as a puma faunus, and her domains are often associated with darkness, but not with evil. In fact, she is one of the more benevolent Goddesses. She is popular in Menagerie, due to being a faunus herself.
The Sun Dragon - The Sun Dragon takes the form of a Human Woman, radiant and alight in holy flame. She is the Goddess of Hosts, Valor and Strength. She is most popular among royalty, raiders, mercenaries, and bandits. Though her followers may sometimes be brutish, they maintain a romanticized code of honor, which is followed according to practicality.
The Kingmaker - God of Wisdom, Learning, and Foresight. King of the Gods, he is said to have whispered the world into existence in the form of stories, now known as fairy tales. He is mysterious and unformed, though often depicted as an aging man. Very few communities worship him exclusively, due to the absence of legends regarding him.
The Stormcaller - The most capricious of the Progenitors, he is commonly referred to as a Trickster God. Portrayed as a raven faunus with storm-grey wings, He holds dominion over fertility, drunkenness, decay, and love. He remains a popular figure with urbanized populations, and many adolescents.
The Nightwing - The Goddess of time, decay, Grimm, hatred and souls. She is seen as the Progenitor's psychopomp, leading the souls of the deceased to their final resting place. Depicted as a magpie faunus with a bloodied beak and decrepit wings, she also holds dominion over the Pit, where souls of the wicked suffer before returning to the world for another chance at reaching the Silverlands.
The Bronzeblade - Once a mortal woman, she was chosen by the gods for her prodigious skill and purity of soul to become a goddess. She holds the title 'Defender of the Hearth', and guards the Home and Heart against those that would do them ill.
The Shieldbearer - God of Audacity, Chivalry, and Agriculture, he is the the gentlest God, said to love his followers unconditionally. His most ardent followers are known as Paladins, Hunters and Huntresses that do not bind themselves to Carrion Lords - only the people.
Features:
Favored Progenitor - You are allowed to choose one of the Progenitors to focus your prayers around, netting you related bonuses.
Holy War - The Progenitors are wrathful! Their tellers have been martyred, their groves and holy places despoiled. Become their sword!
Sacred Places - The myths regarding the Progenitors are many, but rooted in the geography of Remnant. Standing Stones, Ruins, Groves, Caves, Coves, Forests, and many other sites of legend that feature in a Teller's stories exist in the world of Remnant. Though they do not count as Holdings, possessing more within your realm brings many benefits.
Pilgrimage - The Progenitors are said to have been birthed from chthonic means in the Land of Vale. Go on a dangerous pilgrimage to the most Sacred Places to connect with your spiritual roots.
Scions of the Maidens
No one doubts the reality of the Seasonal Maidens and their extraordinary power like they did in centuries past, but a smaller, devout group of Remnant citizens have chosen to worship them, believing the spirits that inhabit prodigious young women to be deific. What's more, is that they believe the legend that inspired them is sacred truth, and the Old Man - God - is the ruler of all beings, omnipresent and omnipotent.
They worship the Maidens as avatars of God, and when a Maiden joins the faith or a follower receives a Spirit, they sing praises and hold festivals for months. However, this is a very uncommon occurrence, and no more than one Maiden has been formally associated with the faith for any stretch of time. They believe that, should the Maidens be united in faith within the Scions, God himself may appear.
It is the religion of mendicants, travelers and merchants, and many who wander find the Maiden's power wherever they tread. Shrines dot the roads of Remnant, and are welcome in many inns as well.
Since they share some legends and similar beliefs to the other religions, they are accepted in all lands, and many are searching for the Maidens, attempting to help whomever they can along the way.
Features:
Grand Search - An influential Priest has called for a Grand Search! The faithful drop their everyday lives to aid in locating one of the Maidens. Greatly increases the chance of finding a Maiden. Note: They are not warriors - they remain peaceful travelers.
Seasonal Festivals - At the beginning of each season, festivals are held to celebrate the oncoming transition. They draw many of your realm to one location. The joyous spirit almost always helps repel grimm, but if a Festival goes awry, the opposite occurs.
Vassal Priesthood - Priests that rule over Scion lands pay tribute to you, and are connected to the larger network of Priests.
Charity - You can more easily practice charity in your lands, which will keep your serfs happier and less stressful.
Maidenage - If you are a Maiden, or one is a vassal to you, your power and influence expands meteorically.
Lien: The ubiquitous currency that transcends all borders of Remnant. Though few notes are now produced in the Age of Grimm, their use was so common throughout the ages that there is rarely a material shortage of these colored plastic cards. It is used in most transactions, from salaries, taxations, day-to-day purchases, bribes, wages, purchasing raw materials, etc. Measured in Lien.
Dust: Long ago, Humanity discovered Dust, the mysterious resource that allowed them to escape extinction and found civilization. Curiously, it appears to be limitless - overflowing veins appear where they were once spent, and caves once thought empty are one day brimming with crystal growths the next. This does not mean Carrion Lords are possessed with a treasure of the stuff - locating, mining, and refining the substance is very costly, its transportation is dangerous, and very few realms have access to every step of proper production. It can be used in the production of power, weapons, ammunition, airships, construction, wardrobe crafting, androids, bionics, and various other higher-tech projects. Measured in Units.
Food: Since Grimm now hold the majority of land, securing food for the world's population is an important and often challenging prospect. It is a critical undertaking, because if a Carrion Lord cannot keep their people fed, their rule is called into question. However, since the majority of Remnant's population practices a form of subsistence farming (or hunting), they can remain empty indefinitely, as long as the citizens live hand-to-mouth… but one famine, bad season, or Grimm attack can spell utter disaster. Heavily populated areas such as Cities and Castle Towns, however, need much more. Measured in Units.
Morale: Though society has stabilized enough after the ancient cataclysm, it has dispersed among the lands of the Four Kingdoms, making it much more susceptible to the creatures of Grimm. Since negative emotions entice their attentions, keeping a population's morale up is an important undertaking. Should a populace (or vassal) grow malcontent or overly violent, Grimm will descend upon them. Measured qualitatively, in the general 'mood' of the realm.
Prestige: This is a measurement of Carrion Lord's influence and majesty. Prestige represents the ideals of ruling according to the inhabited culture. Marriages, Decisions, noble acts, hunting grimm, and winning wars or glory can all enhance a Lord's prestige. It is also a good indication of Legitimacy - high prestige characters are slightly more secure in their rule, and have a wider diplomatic range. Can be discarded to perform treacherous or dishonorable acts, marry under your station, or can be converted into Lien, Dust, or Piety. Measured in Prestige.
Piety: This is a measurement of a Carrion Lord's piety in their chosen religion. It is not a 'hard-coded' resource - faking the appearance of extreme piety still nets you the bonuses, but is harder to accrue. It can be spent to enact Religious decisions, interact with religious infrastructure, acquire priests, etc. Measured in Piety.
Wait a minute, you still haven't checked out the original quest?! That's like only drinking Cherry Pepsi without trying classic! For shame! FOR SHAME!

It is a time of death, war, betrayal and disease. It is a time where each victory against the dark is rare and hard-fought. It is a time of dynasties, of gods, of soldiers and Huntsmen. It is is a time unlike any other.
But this nightmare is your home, your duty. You are a Carrion Lord, wielding a significant degree of power and prestige. A week after your eighteenth birthday, your realm is thrust upon you. What will you make of the Age of Grimm?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome to the Age of Grimm. The world of Remnant is now your home, a sandbox to inhabit and shape according to your whims. Though you will start small, let me be the first to say that the options are limitless! There's countless goals you can set yourself to achieving, some far more challenging than others. What will you choose? Amass untold wealth? Forge a Kingdom? Conquer the world? Purge the Grimm? Construct a invincible dynasty? Become a peerless eugenicist?
Also, there are secret Quests to complete - event chains that can span generations - and might net huge rewards or devastating losses! They may even shape the future of Remnant for centuries to come, or simply provide an extreme source of personal pride and wealth.
First off, the rules…
Also, there are secret Quests to complete - event chains that can span generations - and might net huge rewards or devastating losses! They may even shape the future of Remnant for centuries to come, or simply provide an extreme source of personal pride and wealth.
First off, the rules…
- I am the Quest Master. I am not kind, and neither is the Age of Grimm. This is a CKII quest very much in the spirit of the original game, now with hordes of eldritch abominations waiting to gnaw your face off. Well, aside from the Karlings.
- As a secondary QM running a brand new quest in an identical setting, it is necessary to note that canon of the original, From a Single Ember, is not in lock step with A Blaze Alights.
- It will not be easy. Unlike several other CKII Quests, you don't get "chances of success" for actions. You don't get saving throws or re-rolls. In the Age of Grimm, you're prey, and the game systems reflect that.
- It's a succession game, which means that once your character dies, you will play as their inheritor. Each turn is six months, but time-skips can be granted upon voluminous request.
- Also Like CKII, the Quest is over once you no longer hold any titles or your dynasty is extinguished. You must do whatever you can to avoid this fate.
- This quest uses a 2d10 system for rolling. I will be performing all the rolls at my own discretion, and will not display them. I'll also be doing secret rolls for things that aren't within your character's ken to know, but let's be honest, you'll know where all the critical rolls are.
- This Quest's systems are the product of myself and my own efforts. Those curious about them for their own use can ask privately, though idle curiosity will not be sated.
- 99% of voting will be planned. Please use standard planned voting format.
- I will close the voting when I feel like there isn't a need to continue it. I'll ask for a tally.
- Updates will be completed on availability. You can expect weekly (or near-weekly) updates, primarily because my sense of shame forbids me from squandering Redrumsprinkles' permission to use her concept in this spin-off quest, but more interest and avid discussion will certainly help speed things along.
- Be creative! Write-ins are very much allowed and accepted. Don't limit yourself to the presented options! Innovative and imaginative ideas will serve you very well.
- You get one fate point. One. You can use it to auto-crit success on a decision or counselor action, survive death, escape imprisonment, or recover from a lethal disease. Completing secret Quests might net you more, but it is rare for any character to hold more than two.

Age of Grimm Cultures
Atlesian - Hard people from a harsh land, Atlesians hail from Solitas, the north continent, and make up much of the western and norther areas of the continent. From their old kingdom they take their unwavering discipline and ancestral knowledge of Dust.
Allows:
Dust Masters - Atlesians are experts in the mining, refining, and use of dust. They can squeeze a mine for more than most, and are generally more able to make use of the wondrous crystal.
Stoicism - Atlesians respond to hardship with a grim determination, but their caution makes them less willing to relax. Atlesians are more resistant to all morale shifts.
~~~~~~~~~~~Stoicism - Atlesians respond to hardship with a grim determination, but their caution makes them less willing to relax. Atlesians are more resistant to all morale shifts.
Mantler - Much of Solitas fell to chaos in the aftermath of The End, and the Mantlers were the worst-affected. Through generations of trial and suffering, these people have become mighty, crowing defiance into the frozen wastes.
Allows:
Raiding - When times change, for good or ill, Mantlers respond by seizing the chance to seize the fruits of others' labors. In a land of harsh cold and limited food, the security bought from the suffering of others is a celebrated practice.
Lean Times - Mantlers are used to periods of starvation, and are strongly resistant to loss of morale due to short lean periods.
~~~~~~~~~~~Lean Times - Mantlers are used to periods of starvation, and are strongly resistant to loss of morale due to short lean periods.
Mistralan - Living in lands bursting with popular luxuries and rich soils, Mistralans are well-known for their festivals as well as their complex high culture. Patrons of the arts, they are often envied as much as they look down on others.
Allows:
High Culture - Mistralans gain more Prestige and have an easier time increasing opinions with other Lords.
Revelry - Mistralans are quick to jump on a fortuitous event, and benefit more from any increase in morale.
~~~~~~~~~~~Revelry - Mistralans are quick to jump on a fortuitous event, and benefit more from any increase in morale.
Nikean - At home in the hills of west Anima, the Nikeans lay claim to some of the oldest standing cities and fortresses in all Remnant. Masters of all manner of warfare, Nikeans are popular mercenaries.
Allows:
Acropoli - Nikean cities and fortresses are difficult to permanently tear down, and though nearly all of them have fallen at some point or had every brick replaced, they still stand. Nikean castles and cities are harder to loot, damage, or siege, and cost less to restore to working order afterwards.
Warrior Culture - Nikeans are master combatants by nature, and often boast entire family lines of skilled soldiery. Nikeans treat any levy as being one tier better than normal.
~~~~~~~~~~~Warrior Culture - Nikeans are master combatants by nature, and often boast entire family lines of skilled soldiery. Nikeans treat any levy as being one tier better than normal.
Menagerai - Hailing from the ancient colony of Kuo Kuana, Menagerai are very-often Faunus instead of Human. The unique circumstances of the island protected it from most of the storm of madness that was The End, so while it lacked much self-sustenance scientifically or industrially, Menagerie boasts some of the most comprehensive records of history on the planet.
Allows:
Unified Lineage - Menagerai Carrion Lords can often trace their lineage to other Menagerai Carrion Lords, making diplomacy easier as well as making it easier to unite dynastic lines by marriage.
Hardworking - Menagerie is a poor continent, with generally weak soil. Still, it's people are capable of coaxing things along, and the upkeep of food is reduced universally.
~~~~~~~~~~~Hardworking - Menagerie is a poor continent, with generally weak soil. Still, it's people are capable of coaxing things along, and the upkeep of food is reduced universally.
Vacuan - In the settled territories of West Sanus, the Vacuans rule. With fickle rains, untrustworthy ground, and harsh sunlight, a tradition of talent in rulers and cheapness in construction have taken root.
Allows:
Slapdash - Vacuo is home to dust-storms, tornadoes, earthquakes, and landslides. After a certain point, architects stop bothering with making sure buildings are built to last. All construction is cheaper, but is more likely to be damaged or destroyed.
Incompetent! - Vacuans are given valid claims on their lieges' titles if they prove to be poor rulers, or display dangerous traits.
~~~~~~~~~~~Incompetent! - Vacuans are given valid claims on their lieges' titles if they prove to be poor rulers, or display dangerous traits.
Termina - At the tips of the Great Deserts lie the Terminals, ancient monoliths to the ideas held dear by the Terminian people. In a sense, the most advanced peoples on Remnant, the Terminian people live day by day, deal by deal, and their sense of loyalty and freedom is impressive among Lords.
Allows:
Practicality - Terminians don't care overmuch for ostentatious displays or posturing, and dynastic purity is of only minor import. There are no prestige penalties for marrying any individual, claims are nearly impossible to gain through marriage, though if they are they are incredibly strong and can last generations before fading, and general family opinion is easier to raise, and harder to reduce.
Functionality - Deserts are bad for advanced tech, but as long as you can keep it running, you can get most of the bang for your buck. Terminians can repair, acquire and maintain advanced technology for lower costs, but it will be less effective than it usually would be if they choose to take advantage of this.

Terminians can repair, acquire and maintain advanced technology for lower costs, but it will be less effective than it usually would be if they choose to take advantage of this.
Valesian - Valesians are known for their love of archaeology and storied past, and they embrace it wholeheartedly. Home to the former leading Old Kingdom, in the most ideal land for civilization, Valesians prefer to have their Lords be as legitimate and deliberate as possible.
Allows:
Legitimate - Valesian rulers are expected to come from a line of rulers, and to mingle with rulers. Falsifying claims are grounds for war, the questioning of lineage cause for punitive demands, and marriage far outside one's station is so scandalous as to be legitimate cause for a war to oust the couple from power!
Discourse Above All - Valesians prefer diplomacy over war, negotiation over threat. If a Valesian Lord is insulted at the negotiating table, threatened, or even survives an attempted assassination, they are given a casus beli for punitive reparations!
~~~~~~~~~~~Discourse Above All - Valesians prefer diplomacy over war, negotiation over threat. If a Valesian Lord is insulted at the negotiating table, threatened, or even survives an attempted assassination, they are given a casus beli for punitive reparations!
Vytali - The Vytali originally homed on the Vytal Islands at the northern tip of Sanus, but their seafaring nature and natural prowess with Aura quickly saw them overtaking many lesser tribes and townships along the East Sanus coasts.
Allows:
Spiritual Power - The Vytali are naturals with Aura and matters of the soul. They find it easier to gain Piety, and unlocking or improving one's aura is easier than usual.
The Coasts and Riverways - The Vytali are natural seafarers. They are more capable in ship-to-ship combat, amphibious attack, and can transport larger armies more quickly anywhere with sea or river access.

Age of Grimm Religions
Children of Remnant
The most popular and proselytized religion in Remnant, it teaches that the world has endured a cycle of eons since its creation by the Nameless One, a being that created the universe and bestowed souls upon the people of Remnant before sealing himself within the planet and falling into a fitful sleep. Now, they believe world is in its final eon - the cycle is ending. When that day comes, the Promised Hunter will arrive to purge the lands of Grimm and evil forever. Then, the Nameless One will emerge, and Remnant will become a joyous paradise of eternal life and boundless harvests.
Community is important to its followers, and their temples are often found within rock formations or dug deep into the earth, to be closer to the heart of Remnant. Its priests are referred to as Deacons, and preach the Nameless One's Songs to all that will listen. The head priest or priestess is stripped of their name and identity, and is charged to wander the world as the Blessed Huntsman.
Since Dust is mined from Remnant (and appears to be limitless), they regard the substance with a degree of respect, and often incorporate it into their rituals, clothing, and constructions.
It is most popular in the former realms of Vale and Vacuo, and maintains a strong presence in what was once Mistral.
Features:
Concubinage - All souls are one, so why not unite as many as possible under your household? Allows you to take Concubines. Children of Concubines are legitimate heirs, but aren't considered for inheritance until the primary inheritors have their say.
Temple Vassals - Deacons that rule over Temple Lands pay tribute to you, and are connected to the larger network of the Children.
Holy War - The Children are in danger! The Blessed Huntsman has rallied the faithful!
Blessed Huntsman - The Blessed Huntsman is welcome in your realm, and fostering a good relationship with one is beneficial to your rule.
Rites of the Progenitors
The second most common religion found in the Age of Grimm is the Rites of the Progenitors, or more commonly, the Progentiorists. They hold aloft a sacred pantheon of immortal deities, who reign over the forces of Nature and the capricious whims of the Heart. Many stories, myths, and fairytales shroud these luminous beings, legends from a time long forgotten, when Gods and Goddesses walked upon the face of Remnant. They also maintain a strong tradition of ancestor worship, believing those that came before are to be treated with dread respect.
They maintain no formal priesthood, though many communities gather around those commonly known as 'Tellers', humans and faunus well-versed in the stories of their chosen deity (or all of them).
The religion is most popular in the frigid Atlesian Kingdoms, as well as the Eastern City-States that occupy the former Kingdom of Mistral. It is also growing, though its archaic traditions and decentralized nature have slowed its progress.
Counted among their Pantheon are the following:
The Thorned One - The Goddess of Justice, Hope and Hunters, she is most popular among the youthful and bold, who yearn for adventure and to render judgment upon Grimm and the wicked.
The Knight of Frost - The Goddess of Dust, War, and Technology. Immensely popular in the former realm of Atlas, this frigid yet caring Goddess holds domain over the Silverlands, the resting place for those who have died after living righteous lives. She is most popular among soldiers and tinkerers, and many of her adherents possess a strong sense of civic duty.
The Shadowed Sword - Goddess of Death, Faunus, the Moon, and Night. She is commonly depicted as a puma faunus, and her domains are often associated with darkness, but not with evil. In fact, she is one of the more benevolent Goddesses. She is popular in Menagerie, due to being a faunus herself.
The Sun Dragon - The Sun Dragon takes the form of a Human Woman, radiant and alight in holy flame. She is the Goddess of Hosts, Valor and Strength. She is most popular among royalty, raiders, mercenaries, and bandits. Though her followers may sometimes be brutish, they maintain a romanticized code of honor, which is followed according to practicality.
The Kingmaker - God of Wisdom, Learning, and Foresight. King of the Gods, he is said to have whispered the world into existence in the form of stories, now known as fairy tales. He is mysterious and unformed, though often depicted as an aging man. Very few communities worship him exclusively, due to the absence of legends regarding him.
The Stormcaller - The most capricious of the Progenitors, he is commonly referred to as a Trickster God. Portrayed as a raven faunus with storm-grey wings, He holds dominion over fertility, drunkenness, decay, and love. He remains a popular figure with urbanized populations, and many adolescents.
The Nightwing - The Goddess of time, decay, Grimm, hatred and souls. She is seen as the Progenitor's psychopomp, leading the souls of the deceased to their final resting place. Depicted as a magpie faunus with a bloodied beak and decrepit wings, she also holds dominion over the Pit, where souls of the wicked suffer before returning to the world for another chance at reaching the Silverlands.
The Bronzeblade - Once a mortal woman, she was chosen by the gods for her prodigious skill and purity of soul to become a goddess. She holds the title 'Defender of the Hearth', and guards the Home and Heart against those that would do them ill.
The Shieldbearer - God of Audacity, Chivalry, and Agriculture, he is the the gentlest God, said to love his followers unconditionally. His most ardent followers are known as Paladins, Hunters and Huntresses that do not bind themselves to Carrion Lords - only the people.
Features:
Favored Progenitor - You are allowed to choose one of the Progenitors to focus your prayers around, netting you related bonuses.
Holy War - The Progenitors are wrathful! Their tellers have been martyred, their groves and holy places despoiled. Become their sword!
Sacred Places - The myths regarding the Progenitors are many, but rooted in the geography of Remnant. Standing Stones, Ruins, Groves, Caves, Coves, Forests, and many other sites of legend that feature in a Teller's stories exist in the world of Remnant. Though they do not count as Holdings, possessing more within your realm brings many benefits.
Pilgrimage - The Progenitors are said to have been birthed from chthonic means in the Land of Vale. Go on a dangerous pilgrimage to the most Sacred Places to connect with your spiritual roots.
Scions of the Maidens
No one doubts the reality of the Seasonal Maidens and their extraordinary power like they did in centuries past, but a smaller, devout group of Remnant citizens have chosen to worship them, believing the spirits that inhabit prodigious young women to be deific. What's more, is that they believe the legend that inspired them is sacred truth, and the Old Man - God - is the ruler of all beings, omnipresent and omnipotent.
They worship the Maidens as avatars of God, and when a Maiden joins the faith or a follower receives a Spirit, they sing praises and hold festivals for months. However, this is a very uncommon occurrence, and no more than one Maiden has been formally associated with the faith for any stretch of time. They believe that, should the Maidens be united in faith within the Scions, God himself may appear.
It is the religion of mendicants, travelers and merchants, and many who wander find the Maiden's power wherever they tread. Shrines dot the roads of Remnant, and are welcome in many inns as well.
Since they share some legends and similar beliefs to the other religions, they are accepted in all lands, and many are searching for the Maidens, attempting to help whomever they can along the way.
Features:
Grand Search - An influential Priest has called for a Grand Search! The faithful drop their everyday lives to aid in locating one of the Maidens. Greatly increases the chance of finding a Maiden. Note: They are not warriors - they remain peaceful travelers.
Seasonal Festivals - At the beginning of each season, festivals are held to celebrate the oncoming transition. They draw many of your realm to one location. The joyous spirit almost always helps repel grimm, but if a Festival goes awry, the opposite occurs.
Vassal Priesthood - Priests that rule over Scion lands pay tribute to you, and are connected to the larger network of Priests.
Charity - You can more easily practice charity in your lands, which will keep your serfs happier and less stressful.
Maidenage - If you are a Maiden, or one is a vassal to you, your power and influence expands meteorically.
Age of Grimm Player Resources
In the Age of Grimm, wise management of your resources is critical to success. If they dip too low, your rule might grow tenuous or unstable, and your Decisions might become heavily limited. They are as follows:
Lien: The ubiquitous currency that transcends all borders of Remnant. Though few notes are now produced in the Age of Grimm, their use was so common throughout the ages that there is rarely a material shortage of these colored plastic cards. It is used in most transactions, from salaries, taxations, day-to-day purchases, bribes, wages, purchasing raw materials, etc. Measured in Lien.
Dust: Long ago, Humanity discovered Dust, the mysterious resource that allowed them to escape extinction and found civilization. Curiously, it appears to be limitless - overflowing veins appear where they were once spent, and caves once thought empty are one day brimming with crystal growths the next. This does not mean Carrion Lords are possessed with a treasure of the stuff - locating, mining, and refining the substance is very costly, its transportation is dangerous, and very few realms have access to every step of proper production. It can be used in the production of power, weapons, ammunition, airships, construction, wardrobe crafting, androids, bionics, and various other higher-tech projects. Measured in Units.
Food: Since Grimm now hold the majority of land, securing food for the world's population is an important and often challenging prospect. It is a critical undertaking, because if a Carrion Lord cannot keep their people fed, their rule is called into question. However, since the majority of Remnant's population practices a form of subsistence farming (or hunting), they can remain empty indefinitely, as long as the citizens live hand-to-mouth… but one famine, bad season, or Grimm attack can spell utter disaster. Heavily populated areas such as Cities and Castle Towns, however, need much more. Measured in Units.
Morale: Though society has stabilized enough after the ancient cataclysm, it has dispersed among the lands of the Four Kingdoms, making it much more susceptible to the creatures of Grimm. Since negative emotions entice their attentions, keeping a population's morale up is an important undertaking. Should a populace (or vassal) grow malcontent or overly violent, Grimm will descend upon them. Measured qualitatively, in the general 'mood' of the realm.
Prestige: This is a measurement of Carrion Lord's influence and majesty. Prestige represents the ideals of ruling according to the inhabited culture. Marriages, Decisions, noble acts, hunting grimm, and winning wars or glory can all enhance a Lord's prestige. It is also a good indication of Legitimacy - high prestige characters are slightly more secure in their rule, and have a wider diplomatic range. Can be discarded to perform treacherous or dishonorable acts, marry under your station, or can be converted into Lien, Dust, or Piety. Measured in Prestige.
Piety: This is a measurement of a Carrion Lord's piety in their chosen religion. It is not a 'hard-coded' resource - faking the appearance of extreme piety still nets you the bonuses, but is harder to accrue. It can be spent to enact Religious decisions, interact with religious infrastructure, acquire priests, etc. Measured in Piety.
Miscellaneous Notes
Religion: Religious tensions are very low at the moment. Right now, most people of Remnant have adopted "a man's god is his own business" attitude (with the exception of the Masked Ones). Though certain realms have majority religions, you still may select whichever one you wish to follow with no penalty.
Marriage: Though lightyears more open and accepting than Medieval Europe, many of its squickier elements are commonplace on Remnant (aside from Vacuo). Arranged marriages compose the vast majority of unions, children have no say in their future partner, and the age of maturity is seventeen. Since all children inherit regardless of gender, it's important when forging a marriage alliance to specify which dynasty the children will be of.
Homosexuality: Homosexuality is still very much tolerated by the people of Remnant, but the resurgent focus around producing heirs to form a stable dynasty has put a damper on things. All political marriages are heterosexual. However, same-sex concubines, lovers, and later-life marriages (when the original spouse sired/birthed enough heirs) are celebrated just as heartily as others.
Tribal vs. Feudal: Unlike Crusader Kings II, tribes in the Age of Grimm aren't inherently worse than the feudal system of government. Each type of government has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Barbarity: Remnant is a cruel and deadly land. Mercy and kindness have their place, but it is rarely shown in the Age of Grimm. Brutality and realpolitik are the name of the game, and acting accordingly will serve you better than idealism. Basically, if it flies in CKII, it flies here.

Current Age: 21
Gender: Female
Rank: Initiate
Attributes-
Relic Vault: Long-Cast Transmitter (Powerful Radio, Reduces Envoy Times), Large Purified Gravity Dust Crystal (+15 Personal Combat Value when equipped, retained for ~10 personal engagements)
Your relic vault currently provides no benefits towards your membership in the Seekers.
Personal Reputation: Megara is a new initiate, and the contents of her personal vaults are considered a meager collection, despite the curiosity of the finds. Very few Seekers will ask for access to your vault, and you are currently only attending regular meetings.
Current Backing: (1 of 5) Your sponsor, Phithos, would like it if you ascended through the ranks, but, not being the local Mystic, has little to offer to accomplish it. Nobody else knows you or is willing to consider you for a promotion.
Current Age: 34
Gender: Male
Rank: Initiate
Known Attributes-
Personal Reputation: Kannas is an initiate like you, but he has been with the Seekers for several years now. His vault has a modest collection, and he may consider requests to borrow or benefit from it due to the distance between your kingdoms.
Current Age: 29
Gender: Female
Rank: Initiate
Known Attributes-
Personal Reputation: Oshu is from the neighboring Three Rivers Kingdom, and will not share from her vault due to poor relationships between your kingdoms. Her vault is fairly impressive.

Gender: Male

Epithets: None
Held Landed Titles: Estate of Lanta, Keep of Lanta
Education: Tough Soldier (+4 Martial, -1 Learning)
Known Traits-

Gender: Male
Rank: Collector
Known Attributes-
Personal Reputation: Han-Gol is the premier collector in your local chapter of the faction. His vault is very impressive, and he could be receptive to opening it to you.
Current Age: 33
Gender: Female
Rank: Mystic (Bronze - Of West Mistral)
Known Attributes-
Personal Reputation: As your direct superior, Alias bears note despite her unlanded status. She has spent most of her life apprenticed to the previous Mystic of Bronze, her father, and has a massive family collection. Her status in the Society and the sheer size of her collection make her wary of sharing with you.

Megara
Current Age: 21
Gender: Female
Rank: Initiate
Attributes-
Learning - 11
Your current Learning provides no benefits towards your membership in the Seekers.
Relic Vault: Long-Cast Transmitter (Powerful Radio, Reduces Envoy Times), Large Purified Gravity Dust Crystal (+15 Personal Combat Value when equipped, retained for ~10 personal engagements)
Your relic vault currently provides no benefits towards your membership in the Seekers.
Personal Reputation: Megara is a new initiate, and the contents of her personal vaults are considered a meager collection, despite the curiosity of the finds. Very few Seekers will ask for access to your vault, and you are currently only attending regular meetings.
Current Backing: (1 of 5) Your sponsor, Phithos, would like it if you ascended through the ranks, but, not being the local Mystic, has little to offer to accomplish it. Nobody else knows you or is willing to consider you for a promotion.
Kannas
Current Age: 34
Gender: Male
Rank: Initiate
Known Attributes-
Learning - 6
Personal Reputation: Kannas is an initiate like you, but he has been with the Seekers for several years now. His vault has a modest collection, and he may consider requests to borrow or benefit from it due to the distance between your kingdoms.
Oshu
Current Age: 29
Gender: Female
Rank: Initiate
Known Attributes-
Learning - 8
Personal Reputation: Oshu is from the neighboring Three Rivers Kingdom, and will not share from her vault due to poor relationships between your kingdoms. Her vault is fairly impressive.

Secret Progenitorist (Has a second Piety Track)
Learning - 9
Personal Reputation: Phithos is a Collector of the second Rank in the Seekers, and is known to have acquired a number of artifacts for his personal collection. Due to the close nature of your landed territories, he is not likely to consider requests to borrow or benefit from his secrets.
Han-Gol
Current Age: 56
Gender: Male
Rank: Collector
Known Attributes-
Learning - 11
Personal Reputation: Han-Gol is the premier collector in your local chapter of the faction. His vault is very impressive, and he could be receptive to opening it to you.
Alias the Bronze
Current Age: 33
Gender: Female
Rank: Mystic (Bronze - Of West Mistral)
Known Attributes-
Learning - 18
Personal Reputation: As your direct superior, Alias bears note despite her unlanded status. She has spent most of her life apprenticed to the previous Mystic of Bronze, her father, and has a massive family collection. Her status in the Society and the sheer size of her collection make her wary of sharing with you.

I try to keep a lid on totally random things, because I would have to interpret them open-endedly.
I have, however, snuck in a number of exceedingly hard to trigger events that approximate the feeling of 'oh holy shit stuff happen!'

Yes... finally, I don't like how bookish a character is somehow connected to how pious your character is, but I do remember that it does have purposes for research in CK2.
