@Double Capybara Its moreso to kinda stick it to Teknall, but I don't need to. Logos's interest in the Hain is slim at best.
As far the Royalty Portfolio. Yikes, hate to break it to you, but I always intended for Logos to branch into that since day one. He literally is the God of Kings. Maybe branch into Democracy?
And I already wrote up her coronation. But genuinely, Royalty/Sovereignty is a portfolio I'm looking to pick up.
In the event of Elysium's coronation and the might usage, because Logos is involved, is this the first actual instance of Divine Mandate?
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_right_o..
And if so, does this make her reign more or less Legitimate than someone like say Lipfrasil who more or less crowned himself but has the backing of numerous gods.
It does and doesn't. It is not Europa Universalis where you can say Elysium gets +10 in legitimacy for being under Logos.
Again. It is not the might usage. Getting Royality would mean Logos would understand the intricacies of realms, kingdoms, rulership and tradition better. It would mean that for Logos doing stuff into that area would be easy and natural. It doesn't mean, for example, that you can just arrive and say "oh, Elysium is far more royal and legitimate than Lif so yeah, bow to her".
If you are picking a cultural/conceptual port, I think you can't play it as if it were any other godly concept. The return for spending might into stuff is usually very meaningless to the god in terms of stronkness, which is in fact the why my goddess is in such a delicate "defenseless" spot despite being a Level 6 goddess with 6 portfolios, 4 avatars, some of the highest level heroes and a lot of influence over mankind.
If you try to use it like Fire, or Physics... It turns into something very odd and munchkin-like. And I will be blunt about the example, because I have always told it was a problem and we waited until it went completely overboard to voice the complaint. But Amartia's Sin Auto-Win posts about Xerxes going big extremely fast were an example of trying to use a conceptual/cultural portfolio as if it was a the same as a god of fire making a magma sword or a god of the earth making a super metal hammer.
Though this is just my opinion, I'm not a co-gm or anything. I'm probably being a hypocrite too and there is probably someone out there who thinks Ilunabar fits the shoes of lameness I described, but whatever.
<Snipped quote by Dawnscroll>
Logos: Hey guys, I have some more rules!
Literally every other god: lol
Anyway, if Logos and Ilunabar are going to use royalty stuff to different ends, you guys could come up with a compromise, or at least differing things that only overlap a little. See, if Logos gets something like Authority or Dictatorship while Ilunabar gets something more like Regalness or Presence or something? I dunno, just throwing stuff at the wall.
Prestige maybe. My idea was just to be able to expand from Jewelry to general Royal stuff like thrones, tapestries, palaces, big events and stuff without stepping on Loki's toe by taking Pride. I don't care so much about the rulership aspect as that is more of a side effect of being goddamn fabulous.
