yopplwasupxxx 5946 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Qui Exaltatus, Sanctificamini, et Benedictus Those Exalted, Sanctified, and Blessed Among mankind, there are those who have acted with utmost piety and compassion, and the Church has recognized them for their valor. Whilst paragons of virtues have graced the realm since ancient times, it was only under the High Pontiff Marcus I where a canonization process was established, to deliberate those beautified and saintly. However, with the great heathen sack of the Liberian Pontificate, the canon list of the sainthoods had been lost. It was under only High Pontiff Everad where a tradition of universally recognized sainthoods were restored. Above the saints are, the four Exalted are those foretold in the Holy Scrolls, known formerly as the Divine, whom would restore humanity in this life and beyond. Only the exalted have ever held full dialogue with the Creator, and all have performed countless miracles and acts of greatness, standing aside the Creator in the Seventh Sky. All these canonized figures are not to be worshiped, but revered, whether for their fulfillment of the Creator’s prophecies, or for their exceptional degree of holiness. They may be asked to pray for us as they act in intercession, close to the Creator himself. The Prophets The Prophets, or Exalted, are determined by the Canon and are noted for receiving their respective Scrolls from the Aenguls Artifai and Tesion, along with innumerable acts of faith, good works, and miracles. Horen I "the Father" - Golden Laurel Patron of Humanity, Covenants and Humility Owyn I "the Purifier" - Flaming Sword Patron of Purity, War, and Fire Godfrey I "the Redeemer"- Silver Scepter Patron of Dominion, Glory, and Justice Siegmund I "the Preserver" - Globus Cruciger Patron of Clairvoyance, Wisdom, and Sight Those Sanctified One is sainted if he or she lives a wholly pious and virtuous life and has proven he or she is in the highest skies by traditionally performing at minimum two miracles posthumously. They are often attributed symbols. St. Godwin of Paradisus - Skull The Patron Saint of the Deceased, the Afterlife, Ghosts, the Supernatural and Heartlanders The Ghost of Saint Godwin, unknown St. Julia of Paradisus - Golden Rings The Patron Saint of Mothers, Matrimony, and Exorcism Saint Julia's Reverence, unknown St. Joren of Paradisus - Iron Shackles The Patron Saint of the Mountains, Winter, the Imprisoned, and Highlanders The Gaze of Saint Joren, unknown St. Lothar of Balian - Lorraine Cross The Patron Saint of the Lorraine Cross, Princes, Courage, and Heraldry The Prince of Balian, unknown St. Daniel of Al'Khazar - Wooden Staff Patron Saint of Peace, Cities, Pilgrims, and Travel The Wanderings of Saint Daniel, 1334 The mythic Saint Daniel is celebrated throughout the Canonist community as a model monarch and pilgrim. Born as the third among brothers, St. Daniel was not expected to inherit, and thus his father had introduced him to the world of theology in hopes of finding a vocation for the pretender. Yet in a stroke of misfortune, the princeling's elder brothers fell ill to a sweeping plague, and Daniel took upon his father's mantle as King of Oren. He never forgot his theological training, however, and found himself engrossed in matters of faith. Daniel Horen's first act as King was shifting his capital away from the traditional Horen seat of Jrent to a small fishing village northwest, in hopes of being closer to the holy sites of Aegis and finding the lost city of Paradisus. This village, under his competent administration, became the bustling metropolis of Al'Khazar, the jewel of Aegis and city of world's desire as a center of commerce, culture, and prestige. Yet he never forgot his faith in his fortunes; he financed and led the construction the grand King's Road, a highway from the Cloud Temple to Al'Khazar in hopes in popularizing the tradition of pilgrimage and travel. But despite his success as a monarch, Daniel loathed to sit in his palace, an ardent admirer of the world around him, often slipping the guise of a beggar at dusk and blending in with his subjects. After twenty years of peaceful reign, the burdens of statecraft began to take a toll upon Daniel's ability to spread the word of God, and he promptly abdicated. Lacking sons at the time, Daniel yielded his throne to his seneschal, and the Sheffield regime henceforth commenced as Daniel retired to his estate in Alstion. Though never officially ordained in the Temple of the Faith, many contemporaries dubbed 'Good King Dan" as a missionary due to his nature of converting countless peoples in his voyages. A popular cult revolved around the former king as he traversed the land spreading the faith to the remote corners of the world, one famous pupil of the cult being St. Everard. After years of wandering, preaching, and delivering the faith, St. Daniel passed away in his sleep. Four hours after his death, he was canonized, with throngs of faithful rushing to Horen's Cathedral in Al'Khazar claiming miracles on behalf of St. Daniel. MiraclesSt. Daniel's wooden staff is said to have miraculous powers; during the 5th Great Drought of Kramoroe, it was used by a priest of the Canon to find fourteen wellsprings, which saved the city.The footprints left behind in St. Daniel's travels throughout Krugmar never faded, despite the region's volatile sandstorms.Among many others... High Priest St. Everard I of Al'Khazar - Red Cross The Patron Saint of Tradition and Persecution Saint Everard-in-Exile, 1325 Born in the late 1200s as a prince of the antique House of Hightower, Saint Everard is widely known for his active resistance and persecution against the Iblees cults and Sheffield regimes. Among the unsophisticated clergy of High Priest Bernard's peerage, Everard distinguished himself as as scholar and keeper of holy rites, a traditionalist through and through. He was a disciple of St. Daniel, establishing various enclaves of his faith in the Oren frontiers and helped standardized the Church in a time of uncertainty. Yet, while the city of St. Daniel, Al'Khazar, was aflame with pro-Iblees sentiment, its very King conducting in the black worship, Saint Everard remained steadfast in his communion, performing secret vigils and taking to exile to insure the faith would survive against the onslaught of the Undead. Tortured, branded, and persecuted, the mythic Hightower never submitted nor faltered in his dogma, refusing to accept Iblees as anything more than the fallen Archdaemon. His adherence to traditional Canonist sentiments and devotion to his Creator have exemplified him as a model for all the priesthood to follow, as Everard kept his faith and vows despite the world around him crumbling to ash. He passed in his sleep in 1320. MiraclesA group of Aegan clergymen were traveling north to administer the faith, when a Red Cross appeared in the night sky. Being students of St. Everard, they took the sign as an omen and turned away later to discover an Undead warlock nearly crossed their path.Undead prophets stumbled upon the tomb of St. Everard and attempted to resurrect him with their dark arts. Their attempts were a miraculous failure, as their lightening spells were reflected back to their caster, and their hexes proved useless.Among many others… St. Amyas of Yore - Wild Herb The Patron Saint of Medicine, Healing, Botany, and Wild Herbs The Candor of St. Amyas, 1383 Little is known about Saint Amyas' early life, but what is known is his family's patrician background. Born in a household of merchants, the young Amyas quickly grew disillusioned with the decadence of the Perea kingdom of Salvus and found himself disowned by his father when he refused to work in the family business. Mustering what money he could from a mother's farewell gift, Amyas became an apprentice physician in a wandering caravan. The novice apothecary's talents grow exponentially over time due to his genuine passion in medicine. During the wars against the Perea regime, Amyas found ample work in tending to those wounded and maimed by bandit, orc, and man alike. His selflessness enabled him to become a pioneer in his field, devising the triage method of healing and various poultices to remedy the wounds of war. These growing talents would be put to test during the Great Plague of Asulon. A calamity which killed over a tenth of the human population, the Great Plague of Asulon was characterized by a pandemic of countless ailments, but none as feared as the wicked rotbrain. The virus was notorious for inducing mind-numbing agony and savagery to those afflicted, who often were kept together in cages and treated as animals for their conditions. In the bustling city of Solace, Amyas, in a routine trip through the quarantines to treat the infected, was once forced in the quarantine by two guards, who refused to let the doctor out. Amyas spent ten days among these sick, three without food or water, yet despite the circumstance, Amyas continued his treatments whilst praying to God for freedom. When another apothecary of his caravan finally managed to bribe the guards into letting Amyas go, Amyas was miraculously found free from all affliction despite his vulnerable state. Taking this as a sign from God, Amyas enlisted among the clergy and became a prominent monk. Spending his days administering last rites to the terminally ill, healing the sick despite prejudice and quarantine, pioneering new methods of medicine, and selflessly risking his life for the damned wherever he went, Amyas became the embodiment of the godly physician. MiraclesA lame boy was brought before the tomb of St. Amyas and at once managed to kneel, the function in his legs restored.The body of St. Amyas is to smell distinctly of rose petals.Among many others... St. Godwein of Huntshill - Oaken Shield The Patron Saint of Honesty, Woodworkers, Fungi, and Skin Afflictions Saint Godwein and his Falcon, 1408 As a youth, St. Godwein was reared in the Asulonian badlands, a noble refugee from the destruction of Aegis. Losing his family at an early age due to the bandits so common in the region and period, "Honest Godwein" took up his hatchet and swore to his Creator that he would live on and prosper, but through virtue and honesty, not through sin as those that took his family away from him. The young Godwein opened a woodworking business, exporting fine frontier timber with the merchants who traveled all across the human realm. His merchant contacts informed one day that one of Daniel's grandsons, a certain Godfrey Horen, had come into power. An ardent admirer of the selflessness and traveling spirit of St. Daniel, Godwein set out for Arethor upon hearing this news and swore utter loyalty. Aiding his king and later, Emperor, in combating heresy in reuniting the human kingdoms, Godwein became a beloved figure in the court of man, who was reputed to have never told a lie in his life. In an attempt to conduct in theological discourse with the Mori'quessir on a voyage to Menocress, Godwein was afflicted with a fungal growth upon his visage. Many physicians grew concerned as the blemish grew and grew, until it encompassed half his face. Yet, it is said that in response to this life-threatening illness, Godwein went to St. Everard's Church and prayed deeply for three days and three nights, and the growth did not grow anymore. Recognizing the ultimate power of God and his institutions, Godwein poured countless resources in aiding the poor and the priests of the faith. He passed away quietly, keeping his word with his Creator by going from a common lumberjack to a Marquis of the Empire without betraying his principles and living an exceptionally earnest life. MiraclesGodwein's axe nor shield has never dulled, even after consistent use decades from his death.Godwein's body is miraculously preserved, and its fungal growth still living, despite lacking a host to draw nutrients from.Among many others… St. Tobias of Sarkoz – Silver Comet, Gold Coins The Patron Saint of Merchants, Comets, Wealth, and Charity St. Toveah in Thought, 1399 Born as Toveah Goldman, his name anglicized from its Sarkozic root, St. Tobias is renowned for his immense fortunes. Ledgers indicate his wealth spanned beyond mortal comprehension, dizzying sums that definitively marked him as the richest human in the realm. Yet, Toveah was not born this wealth; a humble and impoverished manservant to Hadrien de Sarkozy, later known as St. Adrian, Goldman distinguished himself in the Count of Norfolk's council through his legendary stewardship. The Goldman Company helped settle and administer the Pontifical lands held by High Pontiff St. Lucien, enabling countless institutions of the faith to prosper. It is said Goldman had the Minas Touch; every business he ran prospered and returned its investments tenfold. At first, Toveah embraced his worldly wealth, erecting statues of himself of gold and being indulgent with his newfound wealth. But after assuming a monopoly on the Abresian port of "Tov Avev", Tobias had a religious epiphany. Realizing his great bounty would never satiate him as it was a worldly desire, he quickly took upon a vow of celibacy, and tirelessly worked to satisfy his spiritual desires. Patronizing countless religious institutions, from the St. Bogdan's Cathedral in Kralta, the Kaedrini Orphanages, the Hammerspoint Observatory and the Pontifical Palace in Savoie, Saint Tobias had distinguished himself by his utter devotion to charity, forgoing family, status, and prestige for the betterment of Anthosian society. Yet, the selfless Tobias later in life began to succumb to a lethal disease, ballooning his weight and forcing him to consume thrice his normal appetite at particular intervals less he pass unconscious. To eat so lavishly was to suffering for Tobias, who bemoaned this wealth could not go towards charity; one day when a Hansetian family of refugees approached the benevolent Tobias begging him for foodstuffs. Tobias, in his charity, gave his meal to the family, before realizing that he had missed his feeding interval. He passed into a coma and later perished, dying in ultimate altruism. His will dictated that his enormous fortunes did not go to his distant kindred, but rather various institutions of the Church and state, demonstrating the epitome of charity in both life and death. A common myth around St. Tobias is that he comes to give good children gifts with his "little goblins" during the month of Joma. MiraclesDuring the reign of High Pontiff Owyn I, the attempts at demolishing the ghost town of Aldersberg were met with failure due to various Adunian raiders harassing the peasantry. Praying to Tobias for intercession, High Pontiff Owyn found the next day that a silver comet had struck and demolished the city in one blow, while also providing countless minerals and precious metals for the commons and Church.Upon a naval excursion to Hammerspoint, a group of sailors and clergymen alike were met with a vicious storm that lasted for twenty days. Nearly out of supply and facing mutiny, a silver comet soared through the sky pointing north. The captain swung north at behest of his chaplain, and found a small island littered with fresh fruit, meats, and coins bearing the image of St. Tobias.Among many others... High Pontiff St. Lucien I of Ulmsbottom – Kaedreni Cross The Patron Saint of Crusaders, Change, and the Family Potrait of Velwyn Ashford, 1404 Born as Velwyn Ashford in the dreary penal colony of Ulmsbottom, Saint Lucien’s background was that of the son of an exiled patrician. His father, a courtier, had been banished from the royal court of Pampo Perea in somewhat murky circumstances, and at the first opportunity young Velwyn hired passage on a slave galley from Ulmsbottom to the Teutonic state of Hanseti. There he began a new life for himself, quickly rising through the secular ranks of the Teutonic Order, building his assets and reputation until he was eventually appointed Landmeister (or governor) of the city of Dresden. In addition to this, for a brief time he acted as an ambassador from the lands of Hanseti to the court of Renatus, where he was exposed to the religion of the Renatian people. His tenure ended when Hochmeister Mirtok of Hanseti betrayed Godfrey of Renatus in the Salvite Wars, Ashford being quickly pronounced persona non grata and recalled. Ashford found himself unable to cope with the dilemma which he then faced - to him, Renatus had been a land of opportunity and moral principles, whereas his own realm of Hanseti had exemplified only betrayal and warmongering justified as pragmatism. He resigned from his post as Landmeister and was baptised into the Church of Oren, disappearing for a certain time. He reappeared around the time Godfrey unified the human realms into the Holy Oren Empire, having undergone a religious epiphany and joined the clergy. With Thomas (Later St. Thomas of Gaekrin) and Peter Chivay, he was one of the three founders of the Order of the White Rose, a religious military order which was the first and most powerful organization to espouse the more zealous principles of the Empire - the subjugation of nonhumans, the establishment of religious uniformity and the destruction of monsters, rebels and dissidents. It would later grow to become one of the most formidable forces in the history of the Empire, establishing the Kingdom of Kaedrin and almost entirely conquering the elven lands. In addition to his post as Seneschal of the Order of the White Rose, he was instated as the Bishop of Crestfall and Pontiff of the Church by the High Pontiff at the time, Adeodatus I the Simple. Under his proselytization, the Diocese of Crestfall would be scoured of infidels and heretics. In 1395, Adeodatus would resign from his position as High Pontiff and Velwyn Ashford would be elected in his place, taking the papal name of Lucien. Taking a far more active role in the operation of the Church than his predecessors, Lucien I proved to be one of the most devout leaders of the Faith in recorded history, casting aside the lax and corrupt precedent which had been maintained by James, Pius and Adeodatus. Upon the arrival to the promised land of Anthos, Lucien would be granted the northern fief of Savoie, becoming Prince-Archbishop of Savoie. A staunch defender of the family unit, the High Pontiff would become a model for virtuous and righteous families, providing charity and patronage to households with children. During his reign, he called the First Crusade on the Orcish Lands and established the Order of Saint Amyas, charging Guy Varodyr with the post of Grand Master. This First Crusade was a great success, many of the pious riding south to secure their place in the Seven Skies by fighting the orcish infidel. Varodyr would establish the fortress of Antrim before being forced to retreat when the crusade achieved its ultimate goal reclaiming the relics of St. Lothar, known more commonly as St. Lorraine. Known for the copper Kaedreni cross he bore, he resigned in 1420 upon leaving for Aeldin during the Exodus, having restored the good name of the Church as a pious and selfless organization which protected family values. Lucien died some time in the 1430s, his relics being recovered by Arjen de Sarkozy on an expedition sponsored by Radomir the Ecclesiarch. Afterwards, they were transferred into the custody of his grandson, Olivier, where they remain to this day. MiraclesAfter kissing the hand of Lucien’s cadaver, a married couple of fifty-one and fifty-five were able to conceive and successfully raise a healthy child despite years of infertility.Saint Lucien’s crozier and Kaedreni cross, fashioned out of lead and copper respectively to show his humility in regards to his predecessors, were both buried with him in his tomb. When Arjen de Sarkozy exhumed his relics, the knight found that both the crozier and the cross had been transformed into solid gold. Alarmed by this discovery, he transferred both artifacts into the custody of the Church.Among many others... St. Adrian of Leuvaarden – Open Book The Patron Saint of Statesmen, Lawyers, and Politics Saint Adrian Among the Councils, 1440 Born as Hadrien de Sarkozy, Saint Adrian was born in the Viceroyalty of Leuvaarden in the far off continent of Gaekrin. Raised in a household of middling burghers, Hadrien’s youth was marked with a characteristic rivalry with his elder brother and passionate ambition. His renown grew when he was sent to the continent of Asulon and read about potential legal work, posted by Velwyn Ashford (Later High Pontiff St. Lucien of Ulmsbottom). Hadrien set out for Asulon with meager supply and ended up in the Duchy of the Holy Lands, where he found work under Seneschal Ashford, acting as an advisor, barrister, and political theorist. His work found himself managing the many accounts and ledgers of the Order of the White Rose, and his stellar diligence and natural talent caught the eye of Velwyn’s other companions, prominently Thomas Chivay (Later St. Thomas of Gaekrin). He was quickly promoted to the rank of Conseiller and acted as a personal advisor to both Thomas and the Senior Command of the Order. His political works condemned the unholy city of Crestfall, and he personally participated in rooting out heretics among the city’s populace. When the Empire of Oren came to the continent of Anthos, Hadrien’s reputation as an able advisor had grown throughout the Empire. Countless sought his political expertise as he forged treaties, documents, and alliances throughout the realm. Hadrien also endeavored to promote a new Kaedreni culture in the kingdom, patronizing countless musicians and artists, whose works would spread throughout the newly conquered frontier. St. Adrian, above all others, that established a true Kaedreni culture among its people – a culture of nationalism, pride, and civic duty. What St. Adrian is most renowned for among the Canonist communion is his role in being the chief architect of Lucienism. His creation of the papist doctrine exemplified and outlined the theological goals of High Pontiff Lucien I, and its influence spread quickly throughout the Imperial west. Lucienism is regarded as a pillar of the Canonist faith due to his defiance of caesaropapism and the Horen cult. Thus among Canonist theologians, St. Adrian is praised for his philosophical and dogmatic contributions. Along with his involvement in the Kingdom of Kaedrin, Hadrien was also awarded other titles in the Empire. He was granted the title of Lord Privy Seal in the Emperor’s Council; and the County of Norfolk in the Prince-Archbishopric of Savoie, where the city of Aldersberg was established. Aldersberg would become a bountiful and industrious city, its inhabitants raised under the care of Lucienist teachings and Sarkozy protection. Hadrien was also one of the few lords in Orenic history to be a direct papal vassal, and it was he who also swore his devout faith to Lucien and championed the High Pontiff’s full papal authority as a separate body from the state. Lauded for his diplomatic ability, religious scholarship, political philosophies and diligence with the quill, St. Adrien worked tirelessly in service to the Pontificate, the Kingdom of Kaedrin, and most of all his faith. He would remain a devout follower of the church and capable statesman until his death in 1419, butchered by an unknown burglar in his own office. MiraclesWhen St. Adrian was found slain in his office in Ard Kerrack, he had with him a ceremonial golden shortsword, bloodstained after an intense struggle against his killer. When the guard went to alert their superiors, they returned to find the blade cleaned of all its stains and resting in the crease of an open book, revealing the building projects for Lucienist churches throughout the frontiers of Kaedrin.Upon the Exodus, clergy rushed to Aldersberg to preserve what works there before looters preyed on the chaos. When the entered St. Adrian's chambers, the various books there began to fly about in his room in a heavy gale. As they landed, only one tome was left open, a scripture detailing a pentarchy. Later, the Holy Oren Empire would split five-ways.Among many others… St. Thomas of Gaekrin – White Rose The Patron Saint of Leadership, Discipline, Frontiersmen, and Kaedrin Saint Thomas in the Heavens, 1440 St. Edmond of Lachsin – Knight on Horseback The Patron Saint of Sailing, the Navy, Horses, and the Auvergnian People Saint Edmond In His Splendor, 1433 St. Theodosius of Istiam - Gray Pigeon The Patron Saint of Messengers, Birds, Translators, and the Raevir People Saint Bogdan Recieves the Scrolls of Karos, 1451 St. Wilfriche of Hanseti - Black Mace The Patron Saint of Brotherhood, Chancellors, Opposition of Setherin, and Franciscan Martyrs Saint Wilfriche Denies the Setherinites, 1472 St. Wilfriche was born to a Hanseatic yeoman and his wife under the Kingdom of Hanseti in 1426. His early life was characterized by brutal strife as both Blackmont and Sethrenic forces ravaged his homeland. It was not long before Wilfriche was orphaned and his homeland destroyed, claimed by the Black Scourge. He managed his way south to the bustling town of Kralta and sustained himself through ill-means, but eventually was caught stealing two loaves of bread from a local bakery. The boy was apprehended by the local militias and brought forth to be judged by the Marquis of Raev. The traditional punishment for theft was a hand, but the exalted Siegmund took pity on the Hansetian in rags and ordered him instead to serve under the Bishop Bogdan, later canonized of St. Theodosius, as an Acolyte to atone for his theft. Wilfriche thus grew up in the ornate and mystic rites of the Ruskan Orthodoxy, undergoing a clerical education and becoming an ordained clergyman. Wilfriche and his trusted companion, Blessed Vladislav, son of St. Theodosius, left Kralta to minister their faith in the newly settled Kaedrini region after the ascension of their mentor. The pair became well-loved by the Raevir colonists as beacons of faith under the reign of the apathetic High Pontiff Regulus. However, these Kaedrini backwaters were infamous for Setherinic raiders and cultists. Under St. Wilfriche's leadership, the Ruskan fellowship erected a mighty holdfast known as the Flotstad and surrounding it the village Flotsam. The Flotsamites grew to be the first bulwark against Setherinic invasion and were critical in the reclaiming of Hanseti from Setherinite clutches. Wilfriche fostered a strong brotherhood bound by creed through the Jolly Band and was characterized by his jovial and amiable spirit, making friends with countless Anthosians. St. Wilfriche was also characterized as an ardent theologian, publishing countless articles on the faith and spreading the missives among its communion. He stood against the sectarian communalism of Oren, recognizing the blasphemies in permitting sects to possess dogmatic differences. Approaching the High Pontiff, he managed to list a series of grievances and help unite the faith into one universal dogma, marking him a pioneer of Canonism. However, the Order of St. Lucien soon attempted to check Wilfriche's rise in influence and power by petitioning to the High Pontiff to declare war on the Flotsamites for claims of banditry. Regulus accepted the prospects of civil war, and the two parties battled it out until a white peace was declared. Wilfriche later became Lord Chancellor to the King Henry and King Francis before being slain in the Franciscian Massacre. His power in the ministries were notable as he swayed the stalwart cynic Joseph Lane to erect an Abresian Church by purging the Abresian sewers of an unholy plague festered by cultists, spread the faith through mass baptisms, arranged feast days, and led battles against the Zionist menace before his death. His symbol is a black mace due to his purification of various Setherinite maces and also his Orthodox vows, which forbade clergy from bearing bladed weapons. MiraclesA man possessed by Setherin was clubbed once about the head by Wilfriche's mace. After rising from the blow, he was exorcised of his demons.The week following Wilfriche's death, three sets of twins in Ancien were born with black mace birthmarks.Among many others… High Pontiff, St. Daniel I - An Aged Scroll Patron of Scholarship, Fate, and Scholars Daniel on the eve, Unknown St. Otto ‘the Bald’ of Vanderfell - Bald Eagle Patron of Decisions, Guardians, and the Northern Peoples The Prince and the refugee, 1490 St. Emma of Woldzmir - White Sword Patroness of the Schism War, Loyalty, Valour, and Adrians. The Passion of Emma, unknown St. Charles of Haense - Golden Crow Patron of Strength, Fortitude, and Prisoner’s of War. The Cold Crow, unknown St. Michael of Cordobe - White Bull Patron of Passion, Exiles, Inquisitorial Service and the Eighteen Year's War The Grand Inquisitor, Unknown Miguel Cortez was born the son of a Canonist convert on the island of Cordobe. He and the other Canonists of the island were driven away and forced into the sea by the pagan inhabitance. He eventually fled with the Cordobonese converts, led by Blessed Rafael de Cordobe, across the ocean to Vailor, landing in Luciensport. Everard II welcomed them with open arms and they in return, aided him in the construction of the fledgling Papal State. Later in life he, along with his Uncle Rafael, formed the backbone of what would become the Inquisitorial Tribunal, formed to combat pagans, protect the Pontiff, and purge heretics. Miguel fought many battles against endless foes, participating in holy war against the Dwarves and the Qalisheen, and purging both the Xanist, and Clerical heretics from human lands. He was also responsible for capturing the renegade Abbess, Lorina Carrion for the breaking of her vows, and her conversion to the Qalisheen faith. Miracles While hunting the rogue Lorina of Ruska, Michael and his inquisitors were lost in the deserts of Khalestine. After seven nights of wandering, Michael had a vision in which a purely white lion came to him in the night and led their party to the city of Al'Wakrah, where they learned of the oathbreaker's whereabouts.While the Pontiff Lucien III lay dying in his bed, following the Battle of Marnadal, Michael placed his hands upon a stab wound inflicted by the Azog berserker. After a prayer to God, Michael transferred the suffering of the wound to himself and therein he suffered for three nights. Those Beautified One is beautified if he or she lives a wholly pious and virtuous life and is either martyred for his or her faith, or posthumously performed a miracle upon a High Pontiff's prayer.
