[@Fabricant451] Oh god please please slow down. It was declared a criminal organization because they lost. But if Jack dies how does that make any sense? The power structure is still intact, it has been devised in this way. You think that if hitler died, without the major military strat fuck ups taking place, there wouldn't be a new hitler? Hitler had a vision, shared by everyone who was under him. How did he plan to keep his empire for 1000 years if him dying meant the end of everything?

And you think every one knows that Jack kills left and right. How would it benefit him to make that fact public? You think he walks around killing people on sight because he feels like it? All the people know are the harsh working conditions. Anyone who speaks openly against him then "changes mind" the next day.

And the generals and lords share his vision not the damn commoners. As long as the military along with the soldiers fights for the cause, what are the commoners gonna do? Why are they gonna do it?

And this religion isn't only pray pray pray. It also helps a lot of people especially those who have suffered in the harsh working conditions and their families. Sometimes it has also opposed the king on minor things for the sake of the people and the king has "given in and accepted their request" so, winning more people on the religion's side. Now the kingdom is divided either to those who support the king's vision and those who are with the church, somewhat unhappy with the current conditions being a part of and helping the religious organization to help others.
Both controlled by the king.
