That's kind of what I had been thinking. Part of the difficulty in working this out is that virtually all "information" we have regarding Malkioni saints has been very mechanic-istic RuneQuestish stuff, which treats them as "just another magic spell source". "If you feed POW to it, you 'worship' it."

I would say that the Lunar Empire is actually VERY Roman--specifically it's Rome after the Western (useless) part had receded into the background to be eclipsed by the Eastern (interesting, educated, wealthy, cosmopolitan, intelligent) part. The difference being that the Lunars successfully conquered their "Turks" (Carmanians) and now they're turning their attention toward civilizing their "Germans" (Orlanthi).

If the Nochet Bishopric is in Communion with the See of Leplain, there is no need for any conversion. To be in Communion with means to be OF THE SAME FAITH. Any differences are considered to be insignificant to the Faith.
