Crowns and Bishops, Where to get Started!

Welcome to the Crowns and Bishops blog, a daily comic blog for the Crowns and Bishops au of Cult of the Lamb that has been running since late June 2023. What is Crowns and Bishops? Crowns and Bishops is an au created before the release of the Relics of the Old Faith content update, which proposes a backstory for Shamura's childhood and how they obtained the crowns in the first place, but largely focuses on the Bishops as an adoptive family over the course of a 5000+ year-long timeline, focusing on Shamura's childhood, the childhood of the other Bishops, the founding of the Old Faith, the Era of the Old Faith, Narinder's Betrayal, the time between that and the game, the game timeline, and post-game content! Where to start?

As a daily comic blog running for a little over half a year at the time of writing, Crowns and Bishops has somewhere between 200 to 300 individual comics, your best option is to use the archive, start from the beginning and go from there! (I also have a better one here on the Massive Monster Discord )

Fun Features

Aside from insights into and fleshing out [and sometimes subverting] the lore that Cult of the Lamb has given us to work with, focusing on characters like the Mystic Seller, Chemach, and Ratau, Crowns and Bishops also includes stories for Narinder's vessels before Ratau and the Lamb, canonically Autistic Leshy, and LGBTQ+ inclusivity.

We also have a very bare-bones and unfinished wiki that you can by all means contribute to!

(Decided to finally make a masterpost for people just getting into the au to know where to start and where to go!)

Narinder, if all your vessels fought each other in a 1v1 style bracket tournament, who would emerge the victor? If we're talking about pure battle capabilities alone

(This one was really fun but a LOT of work to make despite how simple it seems! Also I decided to not do just pure battle capabilities I hope that’s okay)

First off I seeded everyone based on their kill counts which lead to some interesting match ups, a lot of them were obvious who would win, but the more interesting match ups were ones like Gaap vs Ratau and Lamb vs Skylar. I decided Gaap probably had the upper hand with his magical prowess, but Lamb vs Skylar was REALLY stumping me.

I obviously had to ignore Lamb's plot armor otherwise the tournament would be pointless, so instead I settled on making them both DND characters (Sorcerer and Warlock/Paladin respectively) and then played out a battle between them. I gave Skylar some extra hit points to even the playing field a bit more and so the fight wasn't over after two eldritch blasts and between all the rolls they came out victorious but just barely!)

Next round's matchups were more even but ultimately most of them still felt like they had obvious winners given power, strength, strategy and viciousness

the most interesting fight to me was Grey vs Ayranor, as they have an almost parent-child dynamic I feel like Grey would concede the fight since he doesn't want to harm his boy, much to Ayranor's disappointment as he loves to fight.

The round after that would widdle things down to what I think most people would've predicted were the strongest vessels given all the factors, though I could definitely see the Vine vs Skylar fight being pretty well matched just like Skylar vs Lamb, it would ultimately come down to magic, strategy, and temperament.

Leading into a head off between the strongest and most serious of the vessels

and while Moonbow would have the advantage of strength and size over Vine, I think Vine is a powerful all arounder who could use his smaller size to an advantage in critical moments and overall outplay Moonbow, ending up as the winner!

Hope you guys enjoyed that! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the results!)

What personality type fits each vessel?

(Apollus and Jay having the same type is so funny to me, especially since they're characters I swapped Its also really funny that Acedia, Ayranor, and Ratau are all the same type)

Kallamar, when and how did you find out about the Rot hidden within the cave networks of Mt. Ewefall? Even for a god of disease like yourself that must've been a nasty shock.
