The history of the Pontifficate has been nothing but entertaining so far.
First we have the three powerful; Armiendin, Briesen and Nichaleir. Clash of the titans. All want to be Pontiff. Briesen dies on the slopes of Battlewaite, fighting the Gorgon. Aurlien is elected after him. Armiendin is elected as Pontiff of central and eastern Anuire, but dies the same mont. Nichaleir and Armiendin kill each other under the foul sorcery of the EO.
Second generation Pontiff's; Aurlien, Kharnmoien and Royce. A Machiavellian bunch; Royce tries to continue Armiendin's Pontifficate, but looses Aurlien. Kharnmoien concentrates on the west, joining it ever closer under his leadership. Aurlien approaches Kharnmoien and creates the CoT. Royce joins the CoT due to the promise of second in line as Pontiff. Power goes to Aurlien's head (or so it is said) and he starts doling out forgiveness left, right and centre, while getting into a conflict with the ETN on matters of dogma and politics.
Royce picks up the pieces of the CoT, Aurlien's conflict with the ETN left it in a poor shape indeed, Aurlien abdicates as Cardinal when it is apparent he's gotten himself into a corner and leaves for parts unknown. Royce is subsequently slain by Archduke Osoer (it is said) or some unknown evil.
Third generation Pontiff's: Wallac Isilviere decides to pick up the pieces of the CoT, but is met by a storm of distrust from the west, bickering from the Heartlands and nothing but trouble from the nobility.
In disgust he's tried to abdicate, but might not be allowed to because a Grand Conclave is needed to allow for abdication.
Will the Conclave of Temples survive!? Or will it collapse in endless internal squabbling!? Stand by for the next turn of intrigue, diplomacy, hatred and high passion that is...
