I THINK that on the dyes will still get the full faith bonus, the tile SW of the dyes looks to have forest on it and the tile W may also. We should be able to see the W tile after moving the settler 1 NW.
I also strongly think there is a food bonus in the fog that way, I think the start normalizer always makes sure you have one in the first two rings, and it has to be that direction.
There is almost nothing to lose by moving 1 NW, the only loss is bumping a second silks from second ring to third. And there could be big gains with resources or more desert for Folklore.
So I say move the settler 1 NW, settle there if we find food or if the dyes won't give the faith bonus, and move onto the dyes otherwise. The marble/deer area is nice but yeah takes a lot of movement and goes off the river; our second city can go there.
