Elysian Orthodox events

''Note: This page is currently under construction. It may contain incomplete or inaccurate information.''

Elysian Orthodoxy is the next stage of evolution for the isolated Orthodox church in Elysium. This religion is able to be activated only if the fleeing Greeks chose to stay Orthodox during the flight events or if Orthodoxy has a revival in Elysia.

Modifiers:

 * Tolerance of the true faith: +1
 * Yearly legitimacy: +0.5

Features
All features found in the Orthodox religion from the base game are available, ie patriarch authority, consecrated metropolitans, and icons (but only after the decision to "Consolidate Elysian Rites"). Additionally, countries who follow E.O. can send missionaries to nearby countries to convert their provinces provided that the target country has a positive opinion of the country sending the missionaries and the target country is Totemist.

Patriarchs
There are provinces that will be home to the various E.O. patriarchs. Three certain provinces for patriarchs are Elysia (which is the home of the Ecumenical Patriarch), the province that becomes Lakonya, and Constantinople provided it is conquered by Elysians. Other provinces that can have patriarchs are more random, but they are limited to one per region. Elysia can choose later to either keep the limit at five patriarchs, to echo the Pentarchy of the Old World, or to expand the amount so that each region can have a patriarch. Since patriarchs give a bonus to trade power, provinces with a patriarch can be viewed easily on the trade map mode. If a patriarch is captured by a country that does not follow E.O., then they can choose to let it function or shut it down. Shutting it down will give all E.O. countries a casus beli on that nation to regain the lost patriarchy.

Council of Odessos
This event will spawn Elysian Orthodoxy, replacing all Orthodox-worshipping provinces in Elysium. Any country in Elysium whose faith is Orthodox will be switched to Elysian Orthodox.
