** A large part of the reason twin sacrifices are still practiced despite its detractors and waning popularity is that the highest authorities in the Gefendur church are twin priestesses, and for them to declare the sacrifices as something that can be replaced would be declaring that their own sister's deaths were unnecessary and possibly meaningless rather than an all important and honorable sacrifice as they've been indoctrinated to believe since birth. This creates a definite and strong resistance to such a change in the priestesses themselves.
