Mmm, so there's a general sort of anarchic civil war occurring on the Ark at this point, where alliances between different Druchii are flowing like the tide by the minute. One moment, aligned, one minute, treachery, as they maneuver at knife point over superiority and supplies.
A rather significant mass of Druchii aligned in a most holy manner to Atharti have rallied to a large force centered at that temple, larger than any other individual group of Druchii on the Ark save perhaps for the Cult of Mathlann and the Tor of Dominance, with smaller holdout locations now centered around individual tors, noble estates, or the Anchorstone Complexes. The Atharti horde is not being nipped at by anyone aside from Alyssans specifically at the moment because everyone knows where the followers of a Goddess who directly tries to rival Slaanesh in domain is going to go - the big portal and Exalted Herald. Outside of that you have different Druchii noble families, wealthier families, and mobs of 'civilian' Druchii looking to climb the ladder in manners most bloody. Over anyone else, but for now, not going to mess with the Tor of Dominance or the Temples because, well, too strong atm.
Thanks for commenting on this.
I just spent a good deal of time on the road and was thinking about just this topic.
In my head I was divvying up the current arrangement of power on the Ark and figured it looked kinda like this:
Alyssan forces: 45%
Druchii commoners: 15%
Druchii noble houses: 30%
Druchii Cults: 10%*
*Only the core forces of the cult.
Now at first glance it looks like Alyssa is still reigning supreme, but I was thinking that if you looked at it more granually it looks like this instead:
Alyssan forces 45%:
-15% Tor of Dominance
-15% Garrisoning the Slaaneshi portal
-15% Spread throughout the ark in penny packets defending key infrastructure
Druchii commoners 15%:
- 5-10% rallying to Atharti cult
-remainder rioting aimlessly
Druchii Noble Houses 30% (Spread between 20 noble houses)
-5% rallying to Atharti cult
-25% fighting each other, the commoners and Alyssan Loyalists
Druchii Cults: 10%
-5% Atharti- bolstered to 15-20% from other factions joining
-5% Mathlann
I think the above spread is pretty close to the current Druchii balance of power on the Ark.
Now where would I put our little rebellion/slave revolt?
At about 20% power. Enough to be a major faction, but weak enough that the remaining Druchii factions could crush us if they focused on us for any amount of time.
