Oooh, Minerva is based in the Tien Shan mountains, the mountains "of the spirits". Maybe propaganda that Minerva has enlisted evil spirits to take over the mountains, and we must go forth and cleanse them?
I was also imagining a lot more nature, elemental worship. The god of the earth gives us his blood (oil), his body (metal), sort of thing.

Yes, I was looking at the same thing, that the Tien Shan range is the Celestial Mountains of chinese mythology. It would totally be a holy war to reclaim them. And yeah, shen is really big on place and nature spirits, so every large party is going to have a priest or two who will exhort the local spirits to help. Also, it looks like Aksu, RIGHT on the mountain basin border, has been built up a LOT in the last decade, with several water power generation stations along the aksu river leading down into the basin. I need to check with the other temple players first, but I'm thinking that aksu is TOO convenient a city for a base of operations, so I'm working, for story purposes, on the thought that it was wiped the hell out during the war, possibly biologically, something that makes it a spiritual DO NOT ENTER zone for the Shenjiao, and we are ASSUMING the dams got blowed the f up as well, but thats going to be a best first route for scouts to get up in the mountains, and possibly an advance point for troops. just... no staging in aksu.
