[KillerClowns]

Been a while since I played Dwarf Fortress, and I have a few questions about the temple I'm setting up in the fancy new Steam release.

The dwarves I started with are all really into Zasit, the Scaborous Spurt, whose spheres are Death, Blight, Disease, Dreams, and Nightmares. So basically, awesome stuff, 10/10 deity, I'm into it.

Just two questions I'm not super-clear on, even after reading the wiki (which is still on DF2014):
1. Right now the worship of Zasit is not an organized religion, so no priests. Will this eventually change as my fortress establishes itself?
2. I don't suppose it's possible for Zasit to bless any of my followers as necromancers, is it? While I'm guessing this is worldgen only, if there's a chance, and anything I can do to enhance my odss, I'd like to know.

1. No, unless you get more migrants who are in an organized religion for Zasit, there's currently no religion forming outside of the world activity (and even then, unless someone has a 100 year .47 fort lying around, we don't know if it's a post-worldgen activity yet).
2. No, the required knowledge however can be transferred by any necromancer into a book, and such books can be retreived from any tower. Other Fun can however be received from believers toppling over statues in the temple.

I started a new world in the 5.04 steam version with only 50 years history and there was an organized religion, none of the other gods had one
Even tough one of them has more followers now after 10 years have passed no new organized religion has emerged.

My current fort has 3 organised religions.
Sadly, they are all to the same god. Two have only a single worshipper. One of those is a former member of the third religion, so apparently schisms are a thing too.

EDIT: lol. One of my dwarves is telling a story in the tavern about how some dwarf became the 'Holy hole' of abovementioned third religion.
