drowknows 696 Share Posted May 16, 2021 THE PONTIFICAL ELECTION THE CARDINAL CONCLAVE of JUDE II The College of Jude II moments prior to the Conclave of 1820. The revenant laymen masses scurried around the immaculate Basilica of the Ascent as if they embodied a flock of lamb faltering before their shepherd in plead of nourishment - they gathered outside the Holy Place in hopes of catching a glimpse of whatever apprises and updates in regard to the current progressional state of the college of Cardinals during their contemplation in whom they may choose to elect as the successor of late High Priest Jude II, at the same time - rallying about in preparation for the upcoming battle to be taken place against the Norland foe. Within the whitewashed walls of the pristine Cathedral’s third floor stationed the six holy men of the college of Jude II, draped in ornate red clerical robe with merely sustain in their eyes - Cardinals determining the ensuing ambition of the Faith of Canon by so electing the future Pontiff. There sat, Robert Cardinal Rochefort, Adelric Cardinal Freising, Gawain Cardinal Provdenetia, Ailred Cardinal Reinmar, and Alfred Cardinal Jorenus - At the front centre seat sat the Vice-Chancellor Pelagius Cardinal Albarosa, preparing the long awaited rendition of the official Conclave Election of 1820 as the red Cardinals considered their final decisions. THE CARDINAL’S SUITE Although the day was merely of the Summer of the Sun’s Smile- the sky was dolefully overcast in a dull tint of gray, the rain still poured upon the entirety of the City of Providence as each drop frolicked upon the various erection parapets - a stark contrast to the days of when the Canonist flocks knew of a High Pontiff to submit under their Holy authority. Moreover, the tone of day was then comparable to the timorous energy lingering about amongst the esteemed college of Cardinals, their faces scoured in a manner of quiver, occasionally whispering to one another as they’d intrigue their silent pontifical desires. The clerical Chamber was tense, solemn, but atmost - Virtuous. Thereafter, it was roughly two days since the Cardinals were summoned by the Vice-Chancellor in wake of his Holiness’s death, although - at this very moment it seemed the time was ripe, the Cardinals already procured their final decisions, and thus - the Pontifical election process finally began at that. The Vice-Chancellor, Cardinal Albarosa, rising from his flaxen seat- proceeded with a pre-written prayer as he cleared his throat; “Heavenly Creator, walk with us as our mediator and judge to endow us with a sound mind and contrite heart in the election of the next Holy Pontiff. Grant, we pray, that by your infinite wisdom and omnipotence that whomever is chosen shall reflect your mercy, compassion, strength, and duty in the exercising of this great Holy Office. This we ask in prayer, in the name of all Aenguls, all saints, and of the universal church, Amen.” Cardinal Albarosa then raised a single finger, signing the Lucien in benediction toward the six Cardinals, signalling in which it was then time to cast their votes - determining his late Holiness, Jude II’s successor.

JoanOfArc 4586 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Cardinal Gawain seemed to be whispering amongst himself with Cardinal Robert as the conclave began. His face seemed abnormally gaunt and ghastly on this day, -- almost as if he was starving himself. Even so, he stood after sometime and remarked, "Brothers, I wish to put forward my name for High Pontiff." As the fellow Cardinals began to speak, Gawain went quiet and listened along. The bags under his eyes seemed to worsen after speaking those words. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

drowknows 696 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 The Vice-Chancellor then shuffled through various allots given to him by the college, tallying them. Not long after - he perked up a finger - announcing the votes toward the six Cardinal gathered within the Chambers. "Cardinal Jorenus.." "Cardinal Jorenus.." "Cardinal Providentia.." "Cardinal Jorenus.." "Cardinal Providentia.. "Cardinal Jorenus.." A new Pontiff has been elected by the College of 1802. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drowknows 696 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 Cardinal Albarosa shuffled through the ballots again after all was said and done, lofting up a brow, "Er.." apparently the ballots were misread - "Three votes for Cardinal Gawain? Three votes for Cardinal Alfred..?" The Cardinal then sent word to each Cardinal of whom took part within the college, "The votes are wrong! It's three votes for Cardinal Gawain, three votes for Cardinal Alfred!" "Due to it being a split vote, the decision now goes to the diet of Bishops! This has never been done before in Canon History!" 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mio 3771 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Otto August who is an intelligent thirteen year old Haeseni boy counts through a box of six different colored balls, he counted four red balls to two yellow balls. He is content with this result because it means the red balls win which was his favorite color. He ponders if someone of lower intelligence on the continent, an idiot, would have mistakenly said three red balls and three yellow balls instead!Unless some mage switched the colored balls up, then he would understand the mistake. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnsider 4542 Share Posted May 17, 2021 In her effort to start studying the Canon as she considered becoming a nun, Ursula Vasović was flipping through the Codex of Canon Law one day. While it may have had no meaning to her at the time, she definitely read book two, title two, chapter one, section eight, which read very specifically that "the High Pontiff is elected to his office by the majority of the College of Cardinals and no other." 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

drowknows 696 Author Share Posted May 17, 2021 "Oh.." Cardinal Albarosa hurled all the ballots off his desk table, beginning to write letters to each Cardinal personally, "Apparently.. I was wrong! The count was right! Cardinal Jorenus is officially Pontiff." and that was that. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
