Does any of the Spiritual Void Advantages (Sixth Sense, Spiritual Protection, Guiding Ancestor... list here, just filter by ring and type) apply?

You know, because they're Void and Spiritual.

Questions on distinctions and one adversity!

I don't suppose Paragon of Honour might apply here? I mean, being pious 'can be' honourable, but it's not quite so direct, so I kinda guess not, but I figured it was worth asking.

What about Traditional Adherent? Might it maybe apply to the Theology part? It's not how Kou is asking us to approach it, but rote rituals 'might' be a way to approach the kami, maybe? XD

And then - could the 'Bullheaded' (Earth) Adversity apply, maybe? The tendency to do things too directly sounds almost exactly the opposite of what is suggested here, after all XD

Thanks!

I see that Haunted applies. I'd imagine the Loneliness Anxiety would, as well. Have I got that right?

Could Delusions of Grandeur (Void) apply?
After performing a check that requires facing your humble place in an uncaring universe (such as a Labor [Void] check to eke out a living in the fields or a Meditation [Void] check to contemplate your place in the cosmos), you receive 3 strife. If this is the first time this has occurred this scene, gain 1 Void point.

This is the Scorpion test - why would Honor matter ;)

Traditional - I'll buy it for Theology

I can see Bullheaded applying. I waffled on whether to initially include it or not
