My prophet went to some kind of limbo?

[alcaray]

I could not find my prophet commander where I thought he was.

So I figured that he must have died in my most recent battle. I prepared a commander to promote to prophet, but the option to become prophet did not exist. I looked around and nobody was getting the option.

So next I figured that he must be alive somewhere where I did not expect to see him. Searched every commander in every province that I owned and he did not exist anywhere. Searched again... And again...

Started looking into the reports under statistics. I found him in the Hall of Fame listing. He is diseased and has -1 hit points. Weird. Still I wondered where he was supposed to be located. So I found the Nation Overview listing. And he does not exist anywhere on it.

He's not undead or anything. He is a Ctis late Lizard king, with no items, and no magical talents except for divine=4. No spells cast on him (except the usual battle spells - blessings etc.) I've advanced it several turns and he stays where he is and I can't appoint a new prophet.

I attempted a search of this forum for something similar but gave up on the 3rd google page. (this is a pretty difficult forum to do an effecient search on)

Any ideas?
