Eh, I’m now going against that idea in favour of her just having successive partners over the centuries.

I can’t confirm or deny that.

Here’s an idea:
Prometheanism is a fictive heresy based on Prometheus, the only divinity in Greek mythology that was actually good to mortals, by suffering 30,000 years of torment to help mankind. It's a "what if" people turned away from the Olympians.
From here: https://ck2.paradoxwikis.com/Ancient_Religions

It’s an idea I could use somewhere, either incorporated into Versilia or Kyria or general secular philosophy. Versilia was founded by exiles* from the Roman Empire and breakaways, so obviously Roman stuff would be a kind of foundation of society but not its guiding character.

* Pagans, vampires, sociopolitical and cultural dissidents, and other opponents to the Church, ruling emperor or order of things made up the bulk of the exiles.

Options for Akeldama:
1) Cosmicist/Non-Doctrinal pantheism (probably most boring)
2) Kremvhist or equivalent (eldritch occultist stuff)
3) Promethean or Hellenic-derived beliefs
4) Sol Invictus or dualistic derivative thereof
5) She worships herself through an avatar of ego

(1 could, in a sense, be incorporated into any of the rest from a perspective of practical multiversal philosophy, given various gods all variably exist in their own universes, those where they do exist anyways, and she simply worships the one[s] relevant to her in her own universe.

2 or 3 sound nice, lean a bit more towards 2 because the occultism is neat and I like paranoid jokes about Kingfishers.

5 in my mind would probably come with split personality disorder, or quite possibly severe case of narcissism. [I mean intermediary avatar or not, she's still knowingly worshiping herself if she's not in the former case or hasn't forgotten from her immortal memory limits...])

(G'evening fellas. Poll posted, record is updated, and pretty sure some EPA thing or company skimping caused fly traps to become remarkably ineffective.

(Ah, yeah, looks like there was a third one I didn't notice.)

True, that it could. My intent wasn’t originally that but it makes sense, though it wouldn’t exactly be pantheism though I think.

Yeah, probably. I don’t know tbh. I’m quite lost with that whole thing.

That’s likely. I just had barely anything else that sounded decent.

I'm saying Wobbegong wouldn't like Les Fils de Lucifer)

Ah.

Gotcha.

The Stormcloak full helmet works really well with the Steel Soldier body piece. Now if only the gauntlets didn’t expose the fingers to frostbite...
