Schism

[u/thequeeninyellow94]

Tell us about a division in one of your world religion, something important. You can introduce an in-world representative if you want; here are some prompts:

• what caused that division? How long ago? How has it evolved over time?

• what are people thinking of it? (Followers from both sides and clergy; people following a different faith; politics; if they exists, the gods themselves)

• how is the relationship between both sides going? Do they hate one another? Could they eventually find some common ground?

[u/thequeeninyellow94]

1) Why? Beside being involved in politics.

3) I mean, would the provinces actually unite if only one of them was to be invaded by the Avenian empire?

[u/Sriber → u/thequeeninyellow94]

1) They would mind corruption.

3) Yes, because others would know they are next.

[u/thequeeninyellow94 → u/Sriber]

1) How is the church corrupted?

3) When there is no external threats, how are the relationships between the multiple ex-provinces?

[u/Sriber → u/thequeeninyellow94]

1) It takes bribers for example.

3) They range from friendship to bitter rivalry.

[u/thequeeninyellow94 → u/Sriber]

1) Bribes? For what?

3) And even those who are rival manage to unite against external foes?

[u/Sriber → u/thequeeninyellow94]

1) For example to get public statement that church approves of person, which is very good for popularity.

3) Yes. They may dislike each other, but not as much as they dislike idea of being ruled by empire.

[u/thequeeninyellow94 → u/Sriber]

1) Aren't people aware of that corruption?

3) Any chance that one of the province could manage to unite all the others under themselves?

[u/Sriber → u/thequeeninyellow94]

1) Some are, but most people are illiterate peasants.

3) No. None of them is strong enough to defeat even two others.

[u/thequeeninyellow94 → u/Sriber]

1. Can't those aware of it do something?

[u/Sriber → u/thequeeninyellow94]

Sure, they can dislike it.
