Atlantean/Antillian Religious & Discovery Events

[Zephyrum]

Main event for first European Christian to discover a Heptarchic country:

Our explorers have sent reports of some of their latest findings in our Atlantic expeditions, and they found themselves unsure how to proceed. In a large island, they did the usual procedures for newly discovered territory: attempt communication with the locals, seek early diplomacy, restock some supplies, evangelize some. Yet, this time, they were caught offguard when they learned the locals already had a grasp on what Christianity is.

It turns out they follow the Heptarchic sect, or so they claim; it preaches the word of Jesus much like we do, and shares most saints and a concept of God, but does not have a central authority akin to the Papacy or the Ecumenical Patriarch; they also do not speak of Jesus as a charming pacifist, but as a grand warrior of mythological achievements. We're still unsure with how to proceed with regards to those people...

Event for all Antillians once discovered by an European:

Explorers from our old land in Europe have arrived at our shores, and they are eager to communicate to some extent. We had a lot to share with each other - how the political landscape of Europe has changed since our departure, how our trip and settling went. For all of our differences, it was a productive exchange that is sure to fill in history books for both of our nations.

Perhaps most important, however, was a debate over none other than religion itself. While we share our faith in the Lord and his son Jesus Christ, it's clear that distance and time has made us very different. At times, it seemed they couldn't grasp even the basic notions of what being a Christian even is. They denied that Jesus had accomplish his twelve grand feats, for one.

Event for all Atlanteans (NOT ANTHROPOFAGOI) once discovered by an European:

We've received news that explorers from Europa somehow reached our shores. It was once the homeland of many of the peoples that came to migrate to Atlantis, and pretty much the entire continent can in one way or another claim heritage to some European group. This is fantastic news, for finally we'll be able to fill in our history books with what actually happened there after the departures of the later groups from Trichotos. They seemed to be equally interested in learning from us how did we even get here, as well as how our society got to this point. A fruitful exchange, to be certain; though they seem fixated on discussing religion. The look of shock in their faces when we showed them a cross and said we were already aware of the concept of "Christianity" was certainly priceless.

Decisions:

• Convert to Catholicism! Potential: Is Atlantean or Antillian country Either Heptarchic or Atlantean Allow: If Atlantean: Has Global Flag: Atlantean-European contact If Antillian: Has Global Flag: Antillian-European Religious Exchange Has at least one Christian province Can see at least one Catholic country 10 years have passed since Europe was uncovered The times are changing, and having a faith that connects us to other nations is certainly going to be beneficial as those nations' power and influence grows. At worst, it shields us from the risk of conquest. At best, it puts us in their diplomatic table. We trust that Jesus would not let us be led astray if it wasn't meant to be. Effect: Converts to Catholicism Loses 1 stability Gains Religious Zeal modifier +10 opinion of all other Catholics in Atlantis and Antillia

---

• Convert to Orthodoxy! Potential: Is Atlantean country Either Heptarchic or Catholic Is not Trichotos Allow: Has Global Flag: Atlantean-European contact Can see at least one Orthodox country 10 years have passed since Europe was uncovered While we were approached by the more Western Christians first, our records of Christianity from the history books, oftentimes sourced by the Trichotans, seem to align more with the teachings of the Orthodox branches more commonly seen in Eastern Europe. By all accounts, it seems to be the "original" Christianity, but we're more likely to see ourselves diplomatically isolated if we take this route. Effect: Converts to Orthodox Loses 1 stability and 50 prestige Gains Religious Zeal modifier Gain 10 Patriarch Authority

---

• Embrace our old faith! Potential: Is Trichotos Allow: Has Global Flag: Atlantean-European contact 10 years have passed since Europe was uncovered Our very rulers used to be faithful members of the one true Christianity, we will honor their ancestors. Orthodoxy shall once rise to be the main faith of our people, and, God willing, all of Atlantis! Effect: Converts to Orthodox Gains 10 Prestige Gains Religious Zeal modifier Gain 50 Patriarch Authority

Intended AI behavior (disregard for players, just how an ideal AI would act): 50% chance of conversion for every Antillian nation to Catholic 25% chance of conversion for Heptarchic Atlantean nations to Catholic 10% chance of conversion for Pagan Atlantean nations to Catholic Trichotos will never take any decision that isn't their special Orthodox conversion one No Atlantean nations other than Trichotos will take Orthodoxy
