Possibly if you get high rolls on both actions and have at least one leadership bonus.

For a leader figure we aren't much good at socials... I really regret we got leadership and not earth right then and there...

What do you mean? Seryn has the most followers because she is the leader of Bedynn and Bedywn while she was known from before her ascension in Evalon and Avawyr and has the wait of being your daugther to back her up in the former places. You, Evatine and Bronwyn have a dominant worship in the original two villages while the three of you left an impression in Bedywn during your fight with Cynfanor. Evatine has never visited Bedynn so is only known of second hand there while Bronwyn and you have left a mild impression in your respective visits.
You got leadership. After all, all of the other spirits being worshipped follow you. You just have delegation.

I meant the percentage, it is expected for the dominant spirit in the city to have more, but we aren't that good even when we get second place. If anything, both Bronwyn and Evatine are better at socials than us, and that though we choose the leadership aspect. If we had the earth one, not only could we have finished the passage already, but we could even be making our life better through earth manipulation, like helping with building and making a wall.

Actually, you, Evalon and Bronwyn are the dominant spirits in Evalon and Avawyr due to combined worship there while Seryn is the only dominant spirit in Bedynn and Bedywn. And while the Aspect of Earth could have been useful elsewhere, the Aspect of the Chief has consolidate your hold as leader of your miniature Parthenon as either you or Evatine could have become leader before.

Forgot this part!!!
Maybe will want to up our action dedication, then... What would happen upon overflow?
{'Seryn': 5630.0, 'Evatine': 4010.0, 'Bronwyn': 3780.0, 'Gwarlon': 3840.0}
Seryn still much stronk....
What's the pop growth algorithm, if applicable?
Is Evalon higher in pop due to longer time being managed + being a more fertile location, or does Evatine have something special?
It's partially social stuff and partly just being impressive and part of their lives. Leadership isn't necessarily the best for getting the largest share of a worship pie because usually worship is rooted in need. It's great for getting a shallow slice of all pies w/ low effort because everyone knows of you, though.
But we're on track to getting Earth, anyways.
@Metrux @Anime_Fan35 Would you mind changing from Leadership bonus on our followers to the below?

Overflow isn't possible barring a crit or two and if that does happen, I will come up with something based upon the narrative of the turn..
Picked out the starting pops of each village at the start of the game. Grasslands have a high population while hills and forests have a medium pops. Mountains have a low pop, which has resulted in Avawyr having the lowest starting population of the region. For initial pop rolls, Avawyr got high for mountain while Evalon had low for forest which resulted in Avawyr having only slightly less than Evalon.
Population slowly builds over time. With a surplus of harvest, plenty of space and spirits healing injuries such as crippling injuries or bad child births, death rates are low while birth rates are higher. Roughly 1-5% yearly growth rate and I once had to come up with the population numbers from memory after I lost them at one point so don't try to back log to the original population. Also, I am not accurately tracking the population, but keeping a rough estimate of what they should be.
Also to empathise how rough Bedywn and Bedynn had it under Cynfanor's wars, Avawyr and Evalon have each only lost about fifty people to war while Bedynn had a population of close to 2,400 pre-conquest while Bedywn once boasted a population of almost 6,000. Basically, Cynfanor's reckless fighting and the fleeing of the Caradawg and the Cynfanor loyalists has seriously dented the populations of both villages.

The cycle has a good start as usual as you focus your attentions on finishing the passage to Ava Cove. You give out some extra blessings and bolster crops of this cycle's the harvest as bit more, but those are lacklustre as you focus your attention on the construction of the passage.
It ultimately pays off as by putting in a significant amount of effort, time and other resources into the project, the Ava Cove Passage has been completely by the end of the year.
You feel no small amount of satisfaction at the accomplishment as in addition to be a testament to your abilities, it will allow easier travel between Avawyr and Evalon, making it easier for your followers to interact with each other and help the trade between the two villages.
Which proves to be useful as your wife's attempts at encouraging said trade go poorly this cycle. The main reason is that some of the Avawyrish traders have found out what Evatine is using the rocks they are trading for and how useful the Evalonish are finding the iron wielded by your brother.
As a result of that discovery, the Avawyrish traders feel that they are being cheatable out of the proper value of the iron ore as they have been selling them for the value of special rocks such as the shiny, coloured ones when the iron ore is worth a lot more.
Meanwhile, the Evalonish traders feel that they are giving the Avawyrish a fair deal and that the while the forged-iron is a lot more valuable than iron ore, the iron ore before Evatine has forged it is not particularly valuable.
Fortunately, it does not escalate to the point that you or one of the other spirits needs to get involved as while the dispute lasts for most of the cycle, the village elders of both villages manage to resolve the situation by using wisdom, reason and willingness to have the warriors break bones as needed.
Bronwyn herself focuses on leading over crafting this year. She reasserts herself as the organiser of Avawyr whilst Gwyn takes over leading the efforts of crafting pottery and stone. Otherwise, Seryn and Bronwyn exchange several visits throughout the year.
Speaking of Seryn, your daughter has finally begun to take action beyond repairing the war damage of her villages. She has decided to build a path between Bedywn and Bedynn to connect both of her villages and has decided to take inspiration from the artificial paths created by the Evalonish and the Avawyrish.
Beyond starting the path and visiting family, Seryn has focused on Bedywn, attempting to reforge the martial traditions into something that is her own. Basing her efforts on what she did with Aeryn, Seryn attempts a lesser version of that with the Bedywnish warriors she has been training.
The results are…interesting as they seem to be mixture of stunning success and spectacular failure. While she successful imbued her warriors with her power and got the more war-like Aspects, Seryn botched it when she came to dealing with the rest of her Aspects.
Whether she intended to include them or meant to leave them out, Seryn added her Spirit of Beauty and Spirit of the Wildcat into her blessing, a version of it tuned to her specifically. This has resulted in the blessing not enhancing the beauty of the warriors or giving them some cat traits like what happened to Aeryn, but give copies of Seryn's beauty and wildcat traits.
Seryn's warriors, the majority of them being young lads, have been granted the cat ears, eyes, fangs and tails of Seryn along with her muscular body, her snow-white hair, her blue eyes and her curvaceous female body.
When faced with this mess up, Seryn refused to admit to making a mistake and doubled down on what happened by claiming that she intentioned for that to happen. When you were able to confirm what happened almost a full season later when Seryn visited Avawyr, the Bedwynish were already calling the blessing 'the Gift of the Mighty Body'. Furthermore, Seryn had already confirmed as 'unique blessing' that she can carry out instead of a general blessing that you, Evatine, Bronwyn and other spirits have been using and has done so by using a few more times when questioned about it.
You have no idea how to feel about this, especially since while their bodies have changed, their minds have not so the former men retain their old male lust for woman's body and your daughter now has close to a hundred beautiful, female-loving warrior women as her personal guard.
And you do not want to even consider the possibility of Seryn's claims of intentionally doing what she did to be the truth and not her trying to cover up a major mistake.
But that matters not because regardless of whether or not she meant to do what she did the first time, the fact that Seryn has blessed her followers with the Mighty Body since the first times means she has been intentionally doing it since and most of those times were in response to her being called out on the first time by upset relatives of the lads she turned into lasses. That is a problem that you need to address.
And even if you wanted to and you do not, you cannot stay out of the manner as many Bedwynish who worship you are asking for your intervention along with a good number of the Bedwynish who do not worship you as you are the father of the Mighty One. You have also heard from Bronwyn and Evatine that their Bedywnish followers are making similar pleas to them as well.
While Seryn has been creating a headache for you, Evatine and the Evalonish have been busy as always.
Evatine himself as been busy making more iron tools for the Evalonish, more than doubling the number that they have. Your brother has also blessed the three dozen iron spears that he kept for himself, making them unbreakable and empowering them with his Spirit of Man.
Useful and also worrying given that his warriors fall under the part of being wielded by human hands while Seryn and to some extent, her newly blessed warriors fall under part of bonuses against nonhumans.
Meanwhile, the Evalonish have begun construction on the Eva Isle Boat Pens as they hear of you working to finish off the passage to Ava Cove. Judging from what you hear, they should be finished by the end of the next cycle.
"So what exactly happened out there?" inquires Bronwyn as she leans against you as the two of you watch Cadyl plan with the other young children of Avawyr.
It is the early Cold season and you have just returned from your visit to Bedygan. The snow is falling and while more than enough, the harvest this year has not been as good as previous years. Still, the new pottery has allowed for more food to be stored throughout the Cold Season so nobody needs to worry about going hungry.
"The journey itself was fine, it was what I found that was the problem," you answer your wife, enjoying the feel of your wife's bosom against your body as you always do, "It was war like what Cynfanor waged and what we brought against him. Only it was not at the same time. No, what I and the others found was uglier and far more brutal. Neighbour fought against neighbour and kin slew kin. Not the spirits of Bedygan for the sisters were victims of their follower's fury.
While Lynellt and Elairamur get along well despite being almost opposites to each other, their followers have been divided themselves in favouring one or the other. Ultimately it came to a head this Sun Season as the Bedyganish decided that due to being opposites, Lynellt and Elairamur, they must also be opposed and bloodshed broke out despite the protests of the spirits themselves.
Unwilling to slaughter their sister's followers, Lynellt and Elairamur limited themselves to healing the injured and sheltering those who tried to remain uninvolved.
It was in the end of the Harvest Season that it came to a head with Lynellt expending most of her energy to bless and inspire the hunters in order to provide enough food when the fighting resulted in a failed harvest this cycle. Unfortunately, this resulted in her not having enough energy to protect her shrine and Elairamur's followers managed to strike it, dispersing her avatar.
They would have finished her off if Elairamur had not come to her sister's rescue against her own worshipers.
But Elairamur is a spirit of darkness and instability, of chaos and nothingness. And she was enraged, furious with that had befallen her village and the harm done to her beloved sister in her own name.
Elairamur wrought monsters of shadow and darkness, which devoured those who would slay Lynellt. But it did not end there as Elairamur lost control of her creations and while she personally kept them from destroying Lynnelt's shrine, she could not keep them from the rest of Bedygan."
"What happened?" asks Bronwyn as you fall silent.
You let out a bitter bark of laughter at the question.
"What happened?" you repeat, "I happened. Three days after the beasts forged with darkness and the monsters of shadow had been unleashed, I arrived with the Avawyrish to see the chaos that was unfolded. I decided that I would not allow what was happening before me. So I hunted down the monsters, drove out the rest and brought peace to the village, dealing one way or another with those who continue fighting.
But it did not end well as while I saved them from certain destruction, the Bedyganish did not welcome a foreign spirit coming in and bossing them around, even if it was for their own good. And while I saved their village and their source of worship from being destroyed, Lynnelt still slumbers and Elairamur still rages and refused my offer of friendship in her grief.
So I left, a broken husk of a village that has just been saved from the verge of destruction.
It was horrible, my dearest. I asked how many remained and I was told it was less than eight hundred at the latest count. Less than eight hundred and I was told that at the start of this cycle, they number over two thousand.
I have to do something, but I do not know what. Lynellt sleeps, Elairamur rejects me and anyone else whilst she does not have her sister and the Bedyganish are a broken people who do not want outside aid."
"I am here my husband," Bronwyn whispers soothingly in your ear, "You are home now. Outside problems can wait. Tonight we shall reside in the same bed."

So I hunted down the monsters, drove out the rest and brought peace to the village, dealing one way or another with those who continue fighting.
But it did not end well as while I saved them from certain destruction, the Bedyganish did not welcome a foreign spirit coming in and bossing them around, even if it was for their own good. And while I saved their village and their source of worship from being destroyed, Lynnelt still slumbers and Elairamur still rages and refused my offer of friendship in her grief.
So I left, a broken husk of a village that has just been saved from the verge of destruction.
It was horrible, my dearest. I asked how many remained and I was told it was less than eight hundred at the latest count. Less than eight hundred and I was told that at the start of this cycle, they number over two thousand.
I have to do something, but I do not know what. Lynellt sleeps, Elairamur rejects me and anyone else whilst she does not have her sister and the Bedyganish are a broken people who do not want outside aid."
"I am here my husband," Bronwyn whispers soothingly in your ear, "You are home now. Outside problems can wait. Tonight we shall reside in the same bed."

So regarding this post, I had already decided on what I would do which when I got the rolls, but I posted the question anyway to see what you guys would think. What happened was that in blessing her warriors, Seryn got a crit success and a crit fail. So I gave her a success in the blessing being successful and the crit let her unlock a new blessing beyond the generic bless. For the failure, I had her botch up the blessing and the crit failure had the double down on the failure by pretending it was a success and then going 'Consent, what consent' when people complained about their sons, husbands and brothers being turned into women by transforming them too. Which has resulted in more trouble for you as neither Gwarlon or Evatine is going to tolerate that sort of stuff and will do something about it and the Bedywnish are turning to the two of you and Bronwyn for aid.

So, it's the first time I've made a plan from zero in this quest, it was about time, but usually there is already something going before I get here... What do you guys think? I decided to leave the sisters for later, since we don't know when the light one will come back, and this times let them calm and regroup. After they are better, we can come back to speak on friendlier terms.

We are unlikely to be assailed, but it isn't impossible. Hell, we don't even have proper scouts, an army could be days away from our town before we get to know it. This is a preparation for the future, since having those walls can save our people, while not having it can condemn them. In the same manner, having those boat pens will facilitate and increase trade, but not having them will just slow it down. Putting the two on a balance, I felt walls are more important.
