Meanwhile the general feeling was still one of insecurity. The ‘Solarian Incident’, the still ascendant Great Tree religion and the relative infancy of the Faith all contributed to this. The Patrairch’s house had also been completely flattened in an attack by the Arlingtons. The Patriarch planned to create a Keep of some sorts to both protect his assets and to act as a home for the Faith. To the North of Antioch in a disputed territory between Antioch and Ancompton was castle ruins. The initial plan was to renovate these and turn them into a Coastal Keep. Ancompton started that the purchase of this land would destabilise fragile relations between the two as it would explicitly be a claim of sovereignty. Despite this there was an attempt to negotiation between parties, with the Antiochan side declining the purchase.

Allegedly rumour from the Antiochan side said that the attempted purchase rattled them- in terms of proximity to their capital and the ambitions of the Fledging Faith. Necessary action was discussed, indeed more salacious rumours were of outright holy war. The authenticity of the later point was very much disputable.
However, the Patriarch heard of these rumours and acted accordingly. Sovereignty over a strip of the Kasai jungle was purchased from Kasavadi for 17 stacks of iron- 11 upfront and the remainder over two weeks. The Orthodox Coastal Fort was finished soon afterwards.<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/CivEx/comments/asrhto/eastern_orthodox_church_advances_into_the_kasai/</ref> Plans for a new Church were discussed alongside this. The new Church came with assurances from the Chao of diplomatic immunity and security. Indeed the Kasai would become a strong ally of both Churches. On the 20th of February in the region of Siraksem, the Church of Cyril VI was constructed.<ref name=":0" />

The Coastal Fort would soon become the centre of Orthodox philanthropy projects, specifically the WFAI<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivEx/comments/ath5da/the_world_food_aid_initiative_wfai/</ref> (World Food Initiative) which provided food grants to fledgling nations and newfriends. This charity would later take over other locations, including the Nordrani Wastes Inn<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/CivEx/comments/axoo4a/reopening_of_the_wastes_inn_ccc/</ref>.<br />
