WAITWAITWAIT. Back it up a sec. Slave generator? Is...is there a person in there? *tries to see* Because Ziotea's pretty cold but I dunno if she could handle a month shut up with an ether slave nearby. I think that might very well be asking a bit much from her.

Then again, maybe that's why the ship was deserted in that one vision. Ziotea just lights the whole thing up in ethereal fire! *cackles*

...yeaaah, probably not.

Regardless, nice post~

@Lovejoy Woo! And nice new avatar.

@deathbringer that's part of why I suggested second for him.

Also I may have updated Ziotea's sheet because I had stuff I'd never fixed in relationships. yay! And now I just need to draw that stupid shield and her armor and...her emblem...and...ugh. Not happy with the textwalls either, I need to find a way to break 'em up more. *sigh*

I've no idea what to do about Amune anymore.

@Lovejoy Ziotea would never back Astraea. I say Ragnar, simply because the Protector is a specific position, and he needs to be able to keep them all covered. Though I guess that's not as much a thing on the continents or in a fight as it is at sea or when just wandering or camping.

Of course, this brings up the point of what happens if you defy your warleader (but not in combat, nor in a particularly dangerous way)?

@Lovejoy If Ilya was warleader of Leviathan, I'm even MORE in favor of Galahad being Phoenix's leader, simply because Galahad seems like a better strategist than Ilya and this should be AWESOME. <3 *cackling*

@Draken Oh gods. Ahaha, that could be fun. I can buy this.

@Lovejoy Inquisitors can stop being Inquisitors?! oooh~

So the highest members of the clerical branch outrank the highest members of the Inquisition. There could still be a Grandmaster, but there also could be a very small number (probably no more than ten, most likely four to sixish?) of top rank members that report directly to whichever person in the clerical branch is officially in charge of all the Inquisitors. It sounds like there's enough High Inquisitors that there does need to be one level with just a few members -- and since Bishop is skill-based and has a special holy purpose, I don't think it fits.

@Lovejoy I like it. A note: commandeer means to order someone to give something to you, or thereabouts. I think you just want "command" under High Inquisitor

And we do need some sort of first Inquisitor, the one in charge of the entire order. Maybe Grandmaster? Bishops is skill, but there needs to be someone in charge of day-to-day stuff.

skill rankings was just a way to keep track of ...well, skill. I imagine there's Inquisitors that never become Masters, simply because they lack the ability for leadership. They are probably left as veteran Inquisitors and assigned to some Master Inquisitor or other, probably one from their original warband.

And the warbands probably handle their day-to-day affairs differently from warband to warband. I'll say again that Ziotea should not be the warleader, under any circumstances. My friend I talked to while trying to come up with terms actually is the one that suggested it, and I liked it and passed it on. ^.^

In terms of who Ziotea'd support...I don't think Rodion has the skill for leadership. RAgnar is sweet, but naive. Actually, she probably would pick Galahad, mostly because Stina is not the brains of this outfit.

Grandmaster is better than just Grand or Master on their own, I like it.

The Last Embers (Dark Steampunk/Fantasy)

@Draken you've a good point. I was thinking of an army sized group. And I do like Grand Inquisitor.
