Fandom: Rihannsu novels by Diane Duane. These are published novels which do a deep dive into an alternate take on Romulan (Rihannsu) culture (albeit a different version than shown on TNG and DS9), and are really good, you should read them. The two most important are the first two: My Enemy, My Ally and The Romulan Way.

Summary: T'Nor has made her Declaration. But there are many decisions to be made before it will be time to board the ships to leave Vulcan behind.
AN: The Fall of the City is a reference from sixbeforelunch's story "Let'thieri"
The Surak quote is from Chapter Vulcan: Six of Spock's World by Diane Duane (page 249 of the hardback).
At AO3. On Tumblr.
T'Nor paged through the Sehe—no, the Rihannh—message boards. They were too great and sprawling for any one person to read everything, of course; but T'Nor, like most of the Declared, tried her best to see and weigh in on the important things.
The religion channels were lively, but relatively cordial and light-hearted, possibly because most gods and spirits and so forth were highly local, which meant they (probably) wouldn't be coming along on the journey. So most of the discussion was speculation as to what new spirits or gods they would find along the way, and in their new home, wherever it might be. Which was often fun to indulge in, but T'Nor wasn't in the mood.
Besides, the question was rather academic to T'Nor. She had no special affinity for any divinity, except perhaps Pani, a goddess of hunting and craftsmanship, which was good, but also of stillness and contemplation, which was more Surakian than T'Nor was quite comfortable with these days. And she'd never been a true devotee, she'd just had a storybook she'd been fond of as a child.
( The polls on what cultural items they should take along were far more intense. )
