My vacation is near over, and I have not spent as much time as I would have wished to in this forum, which will, nevertheless, change again starting tomorrow when I resume my office job.
I stopped by shortly, at once disappointed that you would (seemingly) abandon your previous AAR, but very happy that you begun a new, more holstic (as you were plannning to do) story than before. The writing so far is top notch, and I am looking forward to reading more of this fantastic tale.
Oh, and if you have an opening for gods still... *raises hand*

Great story. Very good.
And I want to be a god! As long as you don't sacrifice people to me.

Excellent! Now I on the other hand, demand some sacrifices be made in my honor.
Please keep it up.
Please keep it up.
So.... Making people Gods? Looks like someone liked my whole "knighting thingy" I've got running in my French AAR... And is now proposing better positions for readers!!
GREAT STUFF GAIJIN!
PS: I'd like to be a god! But not a nice person. Someone like THE "Arch-bastard", the forbidden God: like Hades/Pluto/Loki... With lots of sacrifices and scary priests... U seen "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom"
BTW: sacrifice stones? "Hey Mick! I'll have a fresh heart on-the-rock" LOL

Come, oh other gods. Just remember that Oleg and I were the first, and therefore the kings of gods.
Do you guys remember what the second generation fo Greek Gods did to the first-born? Zeus was a BADASS to his father... So beware of the next generation. And besides i'll be a forbidden god so their's nothing you can do!
Actually, it would be third generation killing off second generation. The Titans were children of the 'creator' gods. But yes, we are prepared.
Gaijin, I think you'll have to find a way to include a "religious rivalry/war" in your AAR.
Guys, thanks for your comments... my pantheon is filling up! Nice I will dedicate some temples in my following posts...
Eochaid, - I loved your idea so much, when you appointed me a gov'nor of Jamaica, that I could not resist building on your creativity Hope you'll forgive me when you know what a terrible god you'll be in my story. I'll make you a Mexica god and will make you illegal after Tlaxcallans conquer Mexica (but you'll be a spiritual leader of the resistance - how's that?)
Oleg, many sacrifices will be made in your honour... whatchout. Don't cancel out when you read about them remember it's a story and a product of my imagination
Judas Maccabeus, I have a god in store who actually is said to have banned human sacrifice. So you'll be him. But he was sill vicious; seeng that his children did not stop sacrificing each other, he brought Europeans who killed them all.
To Passeportout's point, 'Aztecs' had the same - first God of Duality created Four God Brothers called Smoking Mirrors, who in turn created all other Gods.

Lord Eochaid, Lord Creator of the hated Mexica, lord of sorcerers, master of human destinies, Lord Smoke of the Mirror! We will not destroy a temple in your name in Zacatecas after we capture that land from the loathed Mexica, your followers, who sacrifice our best warriors in Your name.
Mexica are now holding a festival every mid-May for You, and a young Tlaxcalteca warrior who'd spent the previous year as Your Impersonator dies on top of their highest pyramid after having many beautiful women and playing his enchanting flute. He is flayed, and his flesh is ceremonially partaken by all because we are all one, and his skin is worn again to show that You never die.
You sit on people's left shoulder and you whisper thoughts to people, who are just Your playthings, Lord.
As soon as we conquer Mexica, we will make worshipping you illegal, Oh Lord, Oh Master, Or Owner of men's destiny Eochaid!

Lord Judas Maccabeus, God of the Wind, priestly knowledge and wisdom! Lord of the boundary between known and unknown guarded by the Feathered Serpents!
You ruled the wise Toltecs, the Great Artisans, and you wanted them to stop sacrificing in Your name. But they did not listen, and now they are no more. Who has seen a Toltec?
You are always at war with Lord Smoke of the Mirror, Lord Eochaid. We will build a grand temple in your name in Saltillo when we possess that land.
There are no special festivals in Your name as You don't wish people to be killed, so we will worship You in late July, and will offer flowers to sacred images, and honour our dead. Warriors and pleasure girls will dance for You in all our cities.
Protect us and make us wise, or Lord, or Master, or Owner of Knowledge!

Lord Sytass, God of the Young Corn, protector of harvest, feeder of people! We will erect a temple in your name in New Leon, as soon as we possess that land.
Your devoted servants will hold a festival every July, early in the month. Nobles will feed poor commoners, and warriors and lords will dance for the poor commoners, and young warriors will dance seductive dances with pleasure girls in the streets, but those who dare to touch the girls or say an offensive word will be killed. Your Impersonator will be sacrificed by women so that we could eat Maize again.
Bring us much corn, make our fields abundant, Oh Lord, Or Master Sytass.

I hope you are enjoying these little dedications...
Just to be clear - descriptions of gods and rituals are real and based on professional research. If someone has interest in old Mexico as much as I do, pls PM me and I will recommend some wonderful books on the topic.
And I still have vacancies
Now, to another installment...

Now People have to kneel before me and sacrifice naked virgins... Cooool
That is just the right kind of God for me! And a to-be resistance leader? I already have a lot of training doing that! Just check Stroph1's Nazguk AAR... And Judas is also a fellow dedicated reb leader over there, so we kind of have a break here fighting each other.
AND NICE WORK: NICE PICTURES, NICE TEXT, NICE EVERYTHING.
PS: You know Gaijin, this could run for an OSCAAR...
