Chapter
10: Faction Profiles
The Lord's Believers
Devout
in faith and dedicated to their religion, the Believers are more concerned
with the expansion of followers than the expansion of scientific knowledge.
Their civilization is their faith; the Believers will defend their religion
as fiercely as they'll defend their homeland. The strength of their religious
convictions gives the Believers greater command of their abilities when
attacking hostile units.

"Faith:
Belief without evidence in what is told by one who speaks without
knowledge, of things without parallel."
- Ambrose Bierce |

Sister Miriam Godwinson received
her Ph.D. in psychology from Yale University and went on to gain notoriety
as the United Nations Psych Chaplain. After assisting a number of decimated
countries, Miriam gained an almost cult following: worshipped, idolized,
and transformed into a religious icon. Are her followers really devout
in their faith or just brainwashed by a convincing leader?
