You work swiftly and deftly, polishing the brown kidney-gem until it is a nice royal purple, and shaping it into a beautiful crown. This minor artifact should slowly improve the beauty of the wearer, and cause them to produce more beautiful offspring. It is stamped with both the image of a songbird perched upon a reed, your holy symbol, and the image of a songbird perched upon a machete, the coat of arms that Emperor Walnut chose for himself upon shaking off his status as a commoner.

The angel explains that the actions of Tuft and Emperor Walnut have done much to increase the size and devotion of your mortal following. The increase in following should mean that you generate two full points of Essence per decade.
1.1 CS:You receive word that Emperor Walnut's regent, a Mountain Dwarf General called Thrane, has completed a temple in your honor! At your husband's insistance, you decide to attend the dedication!

The temple is a beautiful thing, by mortal standards. It is constructed of imported marble, with a dome made from polished granite harvested from the body of the titan that Emperor Walnut slew! Behind the altar stand two massive statues; One of your, and one of your husband; Yours is made of silver, and his of nickel. The craftdwarfship of each is incredible.
A thought strikes you: Perhaps you should spend some essence to bless your new temple.
A: Naaaaaah!
B: I shall bless the dome to attract supernatrual beings looking to join my host!
C: I shall bless the altar, so that the essence of sacrifices made their might reach me more easily!
D: I shall bless the sacred tomes, so that the missionaries and priests of this temple will find more success!
