Line 12:

Some riffing on ideas:

*(It's OK for religions with anthropomorphic gods to have contradictions. In that case it's preferable to reduce the gods' role, though.)

*Tianming (Mandate of Heaven) by nature allows rebellion against an unjust ruler - thus rulers must earn their right to rule

**Then the "Mandate of Ngrone" a fortiori should also allow this, given the role attributed to her.

**Tianming operates on a dynasty-by-dynasty basis. If "Mandate of Ngrone" applies on a society-wise basis, I basically get Sjowaazhen religion - possibly one thread connecting sjowaazhen and talman religions, which is fitting since these sjowaazhic and talmic are both quihum

**Maybe Mărotłianism is all about such "mandates" applying to all levels of society. A mandate might be quite precarious.

*Folk religion could do something vaguely Christian in its themes. 2nd mover is much more anthropomorphic and the only reason that the 2nd Mover is so friendly to humans is that she herself was once a human. Well, the 2nd Mover is already quite human and limited. Would resonate with some people who only trust people who had suffered like them.

*"Mărotłians on the outside, Machiavellians on the inside"
