The Goddess of Wealth, Manis, was a highly proactive deity. Most gods who had risen from mortalhood possessed that same drive.
How could someone slow and sluggish ever seize the chance to ascend to godhood?
So, once she had made her decision, she immediately set to work, revising her doctrines and issuing divine oracles to her clergy and followers, changing the ideals of the past.
This met with little resistance. For the vast majority of mortals, so long as a deity could protect them—especially by taking their souls away after death—that was already excellent. Mortals with further demands were, in the end, only a tiny minority.
The important figures of the Gold Coin Federation naturally received Manis's notice as well. Neither the Merchant Faction nor the Noble Faction objected to her decision.
The merchants of the Merchant Faction cared about the Goddess of Wealth's protection of merchants and commercial activities. As long as that protection remained, nothing else mattered. The lords of the Noble Faction cared about the Goddess of Wealth's blessing upon wealth. Since that blessing had not gone wrong, nothing else was a problem either.
As for protection over the nation and regime, the Goddess of Wealth had never blessed such things. Her church had always merely served as a mediator; nobody expected her to protect the state.
Thus, the Goddess of Wealth's decision encountered no resistance and was smoothly put into effect.
Riding this favorable wind, both the north and south of the Gold Coin Federation began preparing to break away and establish independent nations.
They did not conceal this from the outside world. The news quickly spread throughout the nations of the main plane. The leaders of every nation were unsurprised by it; indeed, anyone with even a little knowledge would not have found it surprising
