#green bars

Yes, I have a church in my game, but it’s not a typical religion. They simply praise the green bars, at least officially... I had them in TS3, and now they are back to help forming the community structure. They will be kind of nobility, highly respected but with slightly different rules and traditions :)

First picture shows Hippotanius Dipperwell, the 1st Priest in my region after their new church was built in Year 102. He is still seen as the founder, although there used to exist an older church in Windenburg (damaged during the big war). I have now “played” through all those generations. Mostly in CAS, but also live to capture a few family photos etc. 

This photo was taken recently, when Trompador Dipperwell (Hippotanius’ son) stepped back and his son, Antonius, was ordained as Priest of Similius. The new Priest looks a bit worried, or? As seen, old Trompador carries the high Order of the Golden Lion, honored by the King in Year 169 for Trompador’s work with the church.

Antonius Dipperwell is the current Priest, but as he had no sons (yet), it seems like he will be the last Priest descending directly from Hippotanius. He is still young though (his wife being much older), so he might last for as long as I need a Priest for my game, LOL.

Their robe and hat are quite unique, note the hat and nose are both pointing forward. That nose is a typical genetic thing for the Dipperwells. Sons who do not become Priest are sent to the Monastery on Windenburg’s Isle, and seeing all those forward pointing noses in the Monastery garden makes me smile :)
