I kind of like those ideas, but they may be better done as individual effects of altars of the luonnatars equivalents.

I also like the patriarch thing... with the exception that the Esus patriarch simply gets the Aerons chosen promotion, (Blood of Esus). If killed by a unit with the religion of Esus, they get the promotion, if killed by anything else, it passes to the next most powerful Esus unit, if there are no Esus units, it waits until the first new one is born. It would give plenty of reason for esus to hunt eachotehr out... but that is kind of what I like about Esus... it's kind of a religion of war and assassination, much like dark elf culture, where battle outcome is what determines what is "right".
