The pope has unquestionable authority in religious scriptures and teachings, and has supreme power in the countries where the holy gospel is preached.
The Holy See of Light controls the former Elven Capital, and their traditions and history can be protected by us. Priests who believe in the god of light, Freya-Tiheros, can provide believers with some necessary political options. The papal edict represents the will of the god of light. These rights grant those greedy monarchs and nobles the legal right to rule - monarchy. Divine right.
The Holy See is the most solid guarantee for the dominance of secular monarchs. If the rulers openly express their devout faith in Freya Tihuros, the god of light, then the ruled will follow suit. If this is the case, the piety of the ruled towards the God of Light will consolidate the monarch's dominance.
"Sacred Scripture of Light—Menoglio Chapter" The first chord of the second reincarnation of the double moon of the Sacred Era
In the fifty-four reincarnations of the Double Moon of the Bright Age, the monarchs' backward governance methods were unable to manage the land they plundered, and the kingdom fell apart in an instant and fell into civil strife. After the lords from various places struggled to put down the rebellion, they came to the holy city of Ulthuan with palpitations, eager for the will of the God of Light.
However, the favor of the gods seemed to disappear with the death of the pope, and the long expectations made the monarchs disappointed. At the moment when his faith was about to be shaken, Menoglio, who was only fifty-seven years old and the youngest cardinal in the history of the Holy See, stabilized the pillars of faith and solved the monarch's pressing worries.
It is said that Menorio traveled throughout New Hildria when he was young. He spread the blessing of light to every inch of land he went to. Some people said that he used his eloquence to influence the elf bandits who sacked Zakwich Village. It is even rumored that he survived an attack by a dragon...
In any case, this was the first time Menoglio came to the Holy City of Ulthuan to participate in the papal election. After hearing about the troubles of the lords, he just unfolded a map of New Hildelia in public in the Memorial Square in front of St. Avignon Cathedral. He calmly pointed to two places, Northernland and Palatinate.
It was as if the monarchs who had received the oracle returned to their territories and followed the example of the two countries in enfeoffing close relatives and retainers to manage the land. The implementation of the decree was smooth and effective. The overjoyed monarchs expressed their support for Cardinal Menolio's candidacy as pope.
As expected, on the fifty-fifth cycle of the twin moons of the Light Era, Menoglio won the election of the earthly festival and was crowned pope in Ulthuan with the honorary title of Resurrection of Avignon, accompanied by the funeral of Saint Avignon Cathedral. At the sound of the bells, Menoglio entered the Tower of Aion and received the inheritance of the Holy Name of the Pope - Julian.
Just when the monarchs thought that a moderate pope would be born in the Holy See, Menolio, who walked out of the Tower of Eternity, changed his past behavior and issued an oracle the following year: Restarting the reincarnation on the 49th day of the double month of the Light Era. The Council of Cardinals promulgated the "Burn Heretics Act" and established a ring of mages in the French Dominion, strongly requiring mages to accept the control of the Holy See.
However, the period of agency of the Cardinal Council left sufficient time for the development of mages. The Nagar mages who already have a certain degree of strength will seek asylum from the Kingdom of Northumland, and the Kingdom of Northumland needs the power of mages to fight against the Tichtara Empire. , the Pope's behavior undoubtedly violated the interests of both, and the war between the mages and the Holy See was about to break out.
Northernland's army marched toward the holy city of Ulthuan in a mighty manner. What is puzzling is that Pope Menorio only recalled the traveling Ulthuan priests and made no other actions. This strange move made the new Other forces in Hildelia did not dare to act rashly and adopted a wait-and-see attitude.
The peace is broken again, as recorded in the Origin of the Holy Scripture of Light: War is above us... endless.
