In other words, we fail the Priest quest if we don't build a Sacred Forest this turn?

You will still have the next update to do it, but if you fail to do it in both this update and the next update, you will fail the Priest quest.

What? How? We've got the passive policy on Infrastructure making us forests. Between this turn and next turn it should get done on time.

The rewards that were hinted at for completing this quest are majorly important for the long term health of our civilisation. There are few things worth prioritising above war preparations on the eve of the war, but this is one of them. This could end up saving our civilisation from complete catastrophe.

They were? I'm not sure what you got this from, but I still state here and now that there is nothing especially important about the nature innovation that you would get from completing the priest quest. It is just a regular innovation that furthers the Arthwyd's knowledge of nature.
- Location

This is hinting that the innovation is finding out about how to ensure environmental sustainability and to understand what practices are environmentally unsustainable. The Fertile Crescent underwent drastic desertification because the civilisations living on it didn't have that kind of knowledge, and if the Arthwyd had it they could prevent localised ecological collapse.

[X][React] They continue Mairyn's preparations for a war with the Forluc.
Preventing ecological collapse is more important than getting a slightly bigger military before a war, but those aren't the stakes here, so best to continue with the war preparations.
Beyond simply getting another point of Martial and Temp Martial, however, finishing the Warrior quest is also a good thing to achieve. Next turn we're also completing the Grand Temple. If we do Venerate the Goddesses and get 3/3 Stability before it finishes, we may be able to choose starting a golden age as a megaproject bonus. A golden age would greatly strengthen our ability to prosecute a war, because it's during golden ages that we can do things like buy heroes and innovations with stats. It would also massively improve our civilisation after the war's ended.
Now, getting a golden age option isn't guaranteed, I could be wrong about there even being that possibility, but I think the potential rewards are worth the attempt.

given strong mutual threats, good relations for a generation and the fact when they wanted to leave we let them, i'm pretty sure there still going to be in our sphere of influence. Possibly to the point of integration in the long term.

There is also the fact that when Mairyn became the Raradysh's cadlon, we sent over priests, and recently they built an Arthrynite shrine. We've got a foothold religious-wise, something that may pay off once we get the Grand Temple online next turn.

[X] [React] They continue Mairyn's preparations for a war with the Forluc.
The storm was about to arrive. Caimyn was certain of that much as he sits on the perch overlooking his home village. It had been generations since the Maereach Uprisings and even longer since the War of Three Empires. The world was due for another great war and everyone had spent the time since the last one preparing for it.
With the village he was born in next to the great Green River, Caimyn looks north along the mighty river. The Arthwydish in the north had been expanding the ranks of their Catclaws and Cateyes. Those in the south might not realise it, but as a member of the Maradysh, Caimyn was able to find out that information. Even in the south around Caermyr, the Arthwydish had made sure to fortify all of their villages with walls of stone.
Caimyn always admired the Arthwydish ability to get things done. They aren't the most open or accepting of foreign ways, but by the Goddesses, they could perform wonders. Walls of stone around so many villages, to raise their temples, to burn half of the Cursed Forest to the ground. If the Arthwydish wish it so, the world before them will be moved.
Many of those in the Riverlands talk of the great and mighty Forluc, but Caimyn feels that the overlords of the Riverlands are overrated. The Forlucans might have stone walls, but the Arthwydish have more and greater. The Forlucans have an empire, but so do the Arthwydish. The Forlucan might have holy warriors wielding the sacred magic of their gods in their ranks, but the Arthwydish have their own divine warriors that make up the entirety of their warbands. And the Arthwydish had metal, which something that the Forlucans could boost no equivalent too.
The Arthwydish are great and Caimyn wishes to make his own people great as well. For as long as anyone can remember, the Maradysh have stood disunited, each village fending for itself with only loose connections between each settlement. That is the traditional way of the Riverlands and it cannot stand if the Maradysh are to rise higher.
The Arthwyd have their Cadlon, the Forluc have their Farkas and the Zaradysh have only ever been a threat with a Zandis at their head. Zandis Tordysh of the Tordysh united his people under strong leadership and the Tordysh needed that leadership to be a power in the Riverlands. Same with Zandis Aslynn of the Raradysh and Warlord Lorvir of the Lorvysh.
The Maradysh need their own Cadlon and it is clear to Caimyn that he will be their man. He comes from a good family and he has earnt the loyalty of his village and many others. He wields the Blessings of Arthryn, Evalyn and Galanna and his wives have given him many children.
Turning his gaze away from the north, Caimyn can even see his favourite wife, the beautiful Morryn with her Arthryn-given curves, as she approaches his watch point. It must be time for dinner or something for her to come and fetch him.
Well, that ends his musings for the day. Dinner will be served and then he will have court for the evening. Being a future Cadlon is not without its downsides and amassing the political support that he has from the major villages and most influential families of the Maradysh. His court is full of representatives from his allies and lesser patriarchs and matriarchs attempting earn favour from him.
Looking away from his most favoured wife, Caimyn turns his attention back to the north. The Arthwydish were not the Maradysh despite the attempts to turn the Maradysh into the Arthwydish. The Arthwydish were mighty, but their ways were madness. They failed to understand the importance of family, how only your own blood could truly be trusted. They were powerful, but the Arthwydish did not know hardship and pain like the Maradysh did. The northerners had just not suffered the same way as the Maradysh had and it showed in how they viewed the world.
Yet for all that, the northernmost villages were Arthwydish for all intents and purposes. It was a slow process, but one that was working for the Maradysh had once been identical to the people of the Riverlands and now they were closer to the Arthwydish when it came to their ways.
Something had to change if his people were to kept their way. Rebellion would not work as history had taught and by the All-Seeress, rebellion did not benefit the Maradysh. The Arthwydish were both strong and generous so his people flourish in the shadow of the Arthwyd.
What the Maradysh needed for Caimyn. He would provide his people with the strong leadership needed to make them into something more. He needs to be Cadlon of the Maradysh and while he is well on his way to doing on his own, perhaps the Arthwydish could be the solution to the problem that they were worsening.
Caimyn, a rising star within the Maradysh and their most influential chief, has requested that the Arthwyd recognise him as the Cadlon of the Maradysh.
[] [Cadlon] The Arthwyd grant his request. (The Maradysh become a hereditary monarchy, ???)
[] [Cadlon] The Arthwyd deny his request. (Lower relations with the Maradysh, ???)
Worries were running high in Greenbay. War had been expected with the Forluc as two great power blocs showed down with each other, but then expectations had fell apart as the situation in the lowlands changed.
The Raradysh had left the Arthwyd Empire with the death of Cadlon Mairyn the Courageous and while they are still friends of the Arthwyd, they could not automatically be assumed to aid the Arthwyd in a war against the Forluc. On the flipside, the Forluc's own alliance network had broken up as while the Forluc Empire remained the same, the relationship between the Forluc and the Zaradysh had grown distant.
As the older generations passed away and feeling no immediate threat from the Arthwyd, the Zaradysh had little need for the arrogant Forlucans. Their hold on their portion of the Green River had grown stronger over the generations of peace and their grip on the Tordysh had grown firmer as Maereach's successor strengthen their hold on their vassal.
Yet while the Zaradysh and Forluc growing apart was undoubtably a good thing, that news most terrible from the Zaradysh. Now it was claimed that they had a mighty sorceress, a foul hag who bewitched the minds of her people and wielded unholy magic that came from no deity.
For their part, the Forluc had shifted their attention from the northern lowlands to the southern lowlands as they dealt with whatever had drawn their interest down there.
According to disturbing rumours, it was Catfolk as while direct trade between the Forluc and Arthwyd had all, but dried up, rumours and stories still flowed between the two empires as they traded by proxy.
These rumours spoke of men and women who were half human and half cat, some walking freely amongst the Forluc whilst others were held as slaves by the barbaric Forlucans. It was most unsettling for the Arthwyd, especially the priesthood and sacred warriors. The sacred animal of Arthryn was the holy cat and while the Arthwyd would be most eager to hear of people who had the traits of Arthryn's sacred animal, that enthusiasm had been entirely quenched at the idea of these Catfolk both being slavers and aligned with the Forluc Empire.
Still, it was what it was and no matter what disconcerting rumours were coming from the south, life went on for the Arthwyd. They were more than ready for war these days and the Arthwyd Empire had never been more prosperous. The former was especially apparent when one looked at the organisation of the Catclaws and Cateyes.
In past generations, each village had maintained what sacred warriors that they could and when war called, these individuals warbands were sent to wherever the enemy was. With these warbands operating independently, any leadership over the Arthwydish army was sorted out as needed.
That was no longer the case. The mass expansion of the military over the last couple of generations had required additional leadership to manage the new number of warriors that the Arthwyd Empire could call upon. Rather than using an ad-hoc system, a formal hierarchy was put into place. Each village would appoint two leaders for their sacred warriors, one for the Catclaws while the other would be for the Cateyes. While unused in times of peace, when the Arthwydish went to war, there was a framework in place to appoint a formal hierarchy.

This update isn't one of my finest. If anything, it is one of the ones that I am dislike how I written the most. Caimyn is a new Diplo Hero of the Maradysh and as you can tell from the update, he has ambitions of greatness for both himself and his people. On the flipside, the Zaradysh had a Mystic Genius.
The Forluc had also discovered Catfolk down south through the distance and cold relations with the Forluc mean that the Arthwyd haven't actually met any of them. Beyond that, it is another main turn so pick your actions and don't forgot to decided on whether or not to sanction there being a Cadlon of the Maradysh.
Please point out any spelling or grammar mistakes that you spot. Please quote them in the thread and explain what you think is wrong so I know what you are referring to. Feel to ask questions for more details and information.
[X] [React] They continue Mairyn's preparations for a war with the Forluc.
The storm was about to arrive. Caimyn was certain of that much as he sits on the perch overlooking his home village. It had been generations since the Maereach Uprisings and even longer since the War of Three Empires. The world was due for another great war and everyone had spent the time since the last one preparing for it.
With the village he was born in next to the great Green River, Caimyn looks north along the mighty river. The Arthwydish in the north had been expanding the ranks of their Catclaws and Cateyes. Those in the south might not realise it, but as a member of the Maradysh, Caimyn was able to find out that information. Even in the south around Caermyr, the Arthwydish had made sure to fortify all of their villages with walls of stone.
Caimyn always admired the Arthwydish ability to get things done. They aren't the most open or accepting of foreign ways, but by the Goddesses, they could perform wonders. Walls of stone around so many villages, to raise their temples, to burn half of the Cursed Forest to the ground. If the Arthwydish wish it so, the world before them will be moved.
Many of those in the Riverlands talk of the great and mighty Forluc, but Caimyn feels that the overlords of the Riverlands are overrated. The Forlucans might have stone walls, but the Arthwydish have more and greater. The Forlucans have an empire, but so do the Arthwydish. The Forlucan might have holy warriors wielding the sacred magic of their gods in their ranks, but the Arthwydish have their own divine warriors that make up the entirety of their warbands. And the Arthwydish had metal, which something that the Forlucans could boost no equivalent too.
The Arthwydish are great and Caimyn wishes to make his own people great as well. For as long as anyone can remember, the Maradysh have stood disunited, each village fending for itself with only loose connections between each settlement. That is the traditional way of the Riverlands and it cannot stand if the Maradysh are to rise higher.
The Arthwyd have their Cadlon, the Forluc have their Farkas and the Zaradysh have only ever been a threat with a Zandis at their head. Zandis Tordysh of the Tordysh united his people under strong leadership and the Tordysh needed that leadership to be a power in the Riverlands. Same with Zandis Aslynn of the Raradysh and Warlord Lorvir of the Lorvysh.
The Maradysh need their own Cadlon and it is clear to Caimyn that he will be their man. He comes from a good family and he has earnt the loyalty of his village and many others. He wields the Blessings of Arthryn, Evalyn and Galanna and his wives have given him many children.
Turning his gaze away from the north, Caimyn can even see his favourite wife, the beautiful Morryn with her Arthryn-given curves, as she approaches his watch point. It must be time for dinner or something for her to come and fetch him.
Well, that ends his musings for the day. Dinner will be served and then he will have court for the evening. Being a future Cadlon is not without its downsides and amassing the political support that he has from the major villages and most influential families of the Maradysh. His court is full of representatives from his allies and lesser patriarchs and matriarchs attempting earn favour from him.
Looking away from his most favoured wife, Caimyn turns his attention back to the north. The Arthwydish were not the Maradysh despite the attempts to turn the Maradysh into the Arthwydish. The Arthwydish were mighty, but their ways were madness. They failed to understand the importance of family, how only your own blood could truly be trusted. They were powerful, but the Arthwydish did not know hardship and pain like the Maradysh did. The northerners had just not suffered the same way as the Maradysh had and it showed in how they viewed the world.
Yet for all that, the northernmost villages were Arthwydish for all intents and purposes. It was a slow process, but one that was working for the Maradysh had once been identical to the people of the Riverlands and now they were closer to the Arthwydish when it came to their ways.
Something had to change if his people were to kept their way. Rebellion would not work as history had taught and by the All-Seeress, rebellion did not benefit the Maradysh. The Arthwydish were both strong and generous so his people flourish in the shadow of the Arthwyd.
What the Maradysh needed for Caimyn. He would provide his people with the strong leadership needed to make them into something more. He needs to be Cadlon of the Maradysh and while he is well on his way to doing on his own, perhaps the Arthwydish could be the solution to the problem that they were worsening.
Caimyn, a rising star within the Maradysh and their most influential chief, has requested that the Arthwyd recognise him as the Cadlon of the Maradysh.
[] [Cadlon] The Arthwyd grant his request. (The Maradysh become a hereditary monarchy, ???)
[] [Cadlon] The Arthwyd deny his request. (Lower relations with the Maradysh, ???)
***
Worries were running high in Greenbay. War had been expected with the Forluc as two great power blocs showed down with each other, but then expectations had fell apart as the situation in the lowlands changed.
The Raradysh had left the Arthwyd Empire with the death of Cadlon Mairyn the Courageous and while they are still friends of the Arthwyd, they could not automatically be assumed to aid the Arthwyd in a war against the Forluc. On the flipside, the Forluc's own alliance network had broken up as while the Forluc Empire remained the same, the relationship between the Forluc and the Zaradysh had grown distant.
As the older generations passed away and feeling no immediate threat from the Arthwyd, the Zaradysh had little need for the arrogant Forlucans. Their hold on their portion of the Green River had grown stronger over the generations of peace and their grip on the Tordysh had grown firmer as Maereach's successor strengthen their hold on their vassal.
Yet while the Zaradysh and Forluc growing apart was undoubtably a good thing, that news most terrible from the Zaradysh. Now it was claimed that they had a mighty sorceress, a foul hag who bewitched the minds of her people and wielded unholy magic that came from no deity.
For their part, the Forluc had shifted their attention from the northern lowlands to the southern lowlands as they dealt with whatever had drawn their interest down there.
According to disturbing rumours, it was Catfolk as while direct trade between the Forluc and Arthwyd had all, but dried up, rumours and stories still flowed between the two empires as they traded by proxy.
These rumours spoke of men and women who were half human and half cat, some walking freely amongst the Forluc whilst others were held as slaves by the barbaric Forlucans. It was most unsettling for the Arthwyd, especially the priesthood and sacred warriors. The sacred animal of Arthryn was the holy cat and while the Arthwyd would be most eager to hear of people who had the traits of Arthryn's sacred animal, that enthusiasm had been entirely quenched at the idea of these Catfolk both being slavers and aligned with the Forluc Empire.
Still, it was what it was and no matter what disconcerting rumours were coming from the south, life went on for the Arthwyd. They were more than ready for war these days and the Arthwyd Empire had never been more prosperous. The former was especially apparent when one looked at the organisation of the Catclaws and Cateyes.

As I said before, the Arthwydish treats the whole community as a family, and it seems no-one can make heads or tails of us because they fail to make that connection.
We don't need the Maradysh to be a carbon copy of ours. Yes, there is a risk rebellion, but frankly, they are growing in power anyway.
[X] [Cadlon] The Arthwyd grant his request. (The Maradysh become a hereditary monarchy, ???)
[X] [MAIN] Trade Expedition = Boarfolk Nomad
[X] [SEC] Train Sacred Warriors
