[QUOTE="Parlan, post: 3880893, member: 16808"] Absolutely! Joan of Arc is a good example actually. She had no political power or religious authority, but she was Chosen by God (at least in the minds of her supporters), and that gave her a legitimacy. Similarly, this priestess has no political power, b/c she's an adventurer, but she does have the spells of her god that provides a certain legitimacy. Now she's going to show up in the middle of a big parlay among all the Powers that Be in Sigmar's Church with, for sake of discussion, a relic that lets her see if a person is tainted by chaos/undeath. So this could prove whether or not the Old Grand Theogonist sold his soul. Neither of the representatives wants this test to go forward. The rep for the OGT is worried that the OGT will fail. The rep for the NGT worries that the OGT will pass. How would they *plausibly* prevent the priestess from administering the test? Keep in mind she lacks political power but has religious legitimacy. [I'm thinking that the New and Old Grand Theogonists aren't there personally, just their representatives. B/c having to go through spokespersons is annoying!] Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
