We're not building an altar to anything.

[Phantom]

Well, you obviously haven't listened to the Luonnotar teachings.


In fact, they're what you call the supreme Atheist/Misotheist order in all of Erebus, to the point which the 'Gods' don't actually bother to harm them due to their refusal to acknowledge their godhood.

Save for The One of course.

[Xanatos Jr.]

How about we do that, except we ignore The One, what ever that is, too.

Read some lore before you get us all killed!

It should be noted this is only FFH2 lore/mechanics not including RifE lore/mechanics and I'm not sure exactly how different that makes it...
Fuck, we'll do it live!

[Rakonas]

Definitely Luonnotar. Considering that it's pretty much maximum grigori. 
To clarify,

The Luonnotar are a group who denies that the gods are gods at all. To many this is beyond blasphemy, it is idiotic.

The Luonnotar believe only in the actual creator, who has no influence on the world but left the angels to guide the world

[Phantom]

Intertwined Lore-Gameplay to the rescue again!

[Xanatos Jr.]

I don't trust anything I can't easily kill.

[~♫] Mini-Update 1:
The Grigori stance on Gods and Religion.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Perhaps the Elf might be useful for building an altar to the true god, perhaps you should speak to the Luonntar about it.

Feed the elf to the research gnomes we've enslaved to create new weapons of war and wealth for us. Her pointy-eared flesh will fuel their endeavors.

We're not building an altar to anything.

Hey there, LP Fans! It's me, Lil' Acheron, the Fall From Heaven 2 lore dragon! Looks like there's been a bit of confusion about the Grigori stance on Religions and the Gods... oh no! Good thing I'm here to help clear things up for you!

The Grigori aren't a historical empire like the Bannor or Luchurip... they're made up of folks from every empire in Erebus, who got caught on the wrong side of crusaders or cultists, and felt betrayed by their gods. One way or another, these folks found their way to an Angel named Cassiel, who took them under his wings... all in all, he's a pretty swell guy! Not only did he help them start over again, but he sheltered them from the wars of the gods, and even convinced the gods to sign a compact that keeps them from directly messing around with Erebus, and the worshipers of other gods.

You see, Cassiel's followers don't just go around hating gods, or the people who worship them. In fact, there's a god that most of them respect, and even revere! This god doesn't have a name, but some call him "the One" or "the Overgod". Either way, Cassiel taught the Grigori that this god is the one who made all the other gods of Erebus. Even though the other gods have power, they still have to answer to the One.

There's even a special cult who worship this Overgod. They're called the Luonnotar, and they go so far as to say that all the other gods aren't even gods at all, but just really powerful Angels, no different than Cassiel! To them, the other gods are like kids arguing and fighting on a playground, but that playground is Erebus! The Luonnotar say that mortals are better off not getting involved with these up-jumped angels and their fights, and should instead work on getting back in touch with their real god!

Well, there you have it, gang. I hope that was educational, and not too boring! And remember, if you ever have trouble with Lore again, I'll be sure to burn you alive, along with all that you love and cherish. Bye bye!

[Xanatos Jr.]

...I still say we use the elf for research.

[Myroc]

Add her as a specialist to the town, instead. I think Great Prophets add at least a slight boost to production, which could help in getting our workers ready.

[Lorgath]

You appear to be having a theological debate. Would you like help with that?

Also, as a card carrying member of the Giant Robed White Bearded Staff Guys, I say we feed her to the !!SCIENCE!! vats.

[Deon]

Awesome, Solifuge. I hope to see more of Lil' Acheron in the future .

I say, settle. +2 hammers are not a lot, but it's like another citizen working a workshop, and what's the most important thing is those +5 PURE gold income. It will allow you to build 2-3 additional cities without lowering your research slider. You will save MUCH more in beakers than if you spend it to research some really early technology.

[Tronak]

hey! I Love this mod, played it for countless hours.

I have to say, your decision to not worship Octopus Overlords in the future is greatly heretic. I'll wacht this LP closely, awaiting for the time your empire burns drowns in the flames waves of Hell  .

Spoiler: Voting - A Non-Prophet Institution: (click to show/hide)

What should our Great Prophet do?
Build Altar    3 (Rakonas, Phantom, Scaraban)
Research       3 (Lorgath, Xanatos, Frumple)
Join City      3 (Deon, Myroc, Solifuge)
Golden Age     Aw Hell No!

Okay, factoring in my vote, we're at a 3 way tie, with 3 votes for each. This is so square, it's cubed. Tiebreaker Powers Activate!

Each decision has pros and cons:
- Having her join the city would help us grow a lot in the long-run, but it would bias us toward getting more Great Prophets.
- Building the Altar would help our culture, and empower any Luonnotar (or Druids) who join us, but is of little use otherwise.
- Researching a Tech would get us to spellcasting quicker, but once the ice melts we could probably do the same research in 5 turns.

[Furtuka]

I vote to build the altar!
