Rooting Out Heresy

	If an Inquisitor survives for the entire quarter, he will learn the source of the Heresy (even if you already know OOCly, you now know IC). The more quarters he is active, the more details he learns. So ranging from 'the missionaries came from the south' to 'the missionaries were working for [specific nation].		If an Inquisitor survives for the entire quarter, he will learn the source of the Heresy (even if you already know OOCly, you now know IC). The more quarters he is active, the more details he learns. So ranging from 'the missionaries came from the south' to 'the missionaries were working for [specific nation].

			An inquisitor can also force a confrontation with a missionary discovered to be active in the province- which usually but not always results in capture and execution of the heretic.

	Do note that Inquisitors are not popular with the people- dragging their friends and family off, having them murdered or burned or tortured to death. An Inquisitor is an effective tool, but they can very easily sway the same population you're trying to save against you. The longer an Inquisitor is active in a province, the greater the cost in people and morale. At the beginning of each quarter except the first that an Inquisitor has been active in the same province, roll d100, against difficulty (80 - 15*[#Quarters Active]), the locals drag the Inquisitor off his horse and murder the fuck out of him.

	Your doctrine is infectious. Any nation who shares a border with you, or whose territory you occupy, will lose 1 point of faith per territory bordered or occupied, per quarter. You gain this Faith and may spend it according to to your usual limitations. You may toggle this trait so that your provinces do not leech faith from their surroundings, but you cannot turn it off for your occupation forces. ~~This~~ drain is not obvious to nations IC unless they have Inquisitors active in the affected area.

	Your beliefs deny the divinity of the Gods, treating them as powerful- but ultimately mortal- forces not to be entreated with or worshiped, but as just another enemy to overcome. You cannot spend Faith to empower actions. Instead, you may spend faith to negate a faith expenditure on an action by another player. If you spend more faith than the other player, their miracle will invert by the degree of overlap, and bring ruin rather than glory. You may do this secretly (PM me)		Your beliefs deny the divinity of the Gods, treating them as powerful- but ultimately mortal- forces not to be entreated with or worshiped, but as just another enemy to overcome.

	Not all nations worship a patron deity. Most famously, and most recently the ~~Epire~~ of Caliber was, at the highest level, exposed to be godless heathens preaching a doctrine that denies the divinity of the pantheon. For these nations, Faith is an energy put to use opposing the Faith of their enemies, but otherwise they lack the divine empowerment of their peers.		Not all nations worship a patron deity.

	For this SD there are two things you need to choose: The first, is your nation's defining trait. This is a characteristic that defines your nation's people- what sort of beings they are, how they behave, where they're from- all of these factors flow from the defining trait. The second, and more important thing, is to choose your God's Aspect, which determines the focus of its Powers. Each God has a primary aspect, and this aspect colors the use of its powers and its interaction with your nation. Choose wisely.
