Q. about The Ark

[Crazy]

Description says it blinds and diseases non-holy troops.

Is this only in combat? Can I put it on a priest and have him travel with it to increase dominion? If it hurt non-holy troops when not in combat I will not bother.

I am playing Abysia and do not use holy troops(too expensive).

[Vicious Love]

Only in combat, and your high-MR non-sacred troops are relatively safe, particularly in short battles.

[Cainehill]

But the Ark will disease / blind your pretender if he goes into a battle with the Ark present, as will non-sacred prophets, neither of which makes sense to me.

[Vicious Love]

Well, your pretender is a false god. The Ark can sense that sort of thing. At least your followers are sincere in their false religion. Still awfully silly, if you ask me.

Cainehill, does the non-sacred prophets part refer to Ermorian prophets and DT C'tis unholy priests?

If the Ark only checks Sacred stat, being Blessed wouldn't help at all. If being a Prophet only makes you Blessed, like the Shroud of the Saint...
