His words continue to inspire many [[Highguard\|Highborn]] citizens who hear him - with his dream of an Empire reforged - and of the [[First Empress]] come again. Priests who administer [[congregation\|congregations]] of [[Courage]] soon find their numbers swell far beyond expectations - with every new devotee drawn from the congregation of another virtue.

	With the backing of the Synod, Nina of Cantiarch's Hold travels to [[Reikos]] to preach how the Virtue of Courage stands alongside the other Virtues as an inspiration against fear and ruin. For those not swept up by the fervour of the ''Courage of the First Empress'', her words seem [[Wisdom\|wise]] - balanced and fair, but Nina lacks the resources needed to counter Golan. Not that more [[liao]] would have helped since the Synod failed to address the judgement that the Empress was a follower of Courage. Without a clear response on that fundamental issue it is not possible for any priest to stop the spread of Golan's ideas.

	Golan and Yael's preaching is taking root, and has now had a significant effect. The ''Courage of the First Empress'', as it is becoming known, includes Highborn citizens who follow Golan, or Yael - or in some cases both. These people believe that the First Empress is an exemplar of Courage - that the entire Empire is an edifice built on Courage and that it can only triumph when it is dedicated entirely to that Virtue. As a result citizens are abandoning the other virtues and flocking to the congregations of Courage.		Golan and Yael's preaching is taking root, and has now had a significant effect.

	If the General Assembly recognises the First Empress as an Exemplar of Courage, then the effects of Golan's teaching will ''automatically'' spread to Sarvos, Tassato, Miaren, Morrow, Redoubt, Therunin, and Astolat. The Courage assembly could then name a priest to use 75 liao to spread the effects even further to [[Semmerholm]], [[Weirwater]], [[Upwold]], [[Temeschwar]], [[Karov]], [[Madruga]], and [[Feroz]].
