Ramon 3965 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2022 ALERE FLAMMAM VERITATISThe day started as any other would ever since he had been officially diagnosed with an illness that had been festering within him largely unnoticed for years, Tylos finishing his morning prayers and saying grace for his brothers in faith at the Abbey of Saint Robert of Metz before making for Karosgrad. His usual daily trips there had become more challenging as time went on, as much owed to his increasing reliance on making use of a cane, shortness of breath, and ever increasing fatigue.He had known the end was near for some time, though rarely if ever spoke about such as instead he spent his time interacting with those of his flock and providing them with what counsel he could for as long as he had left. This particular day he had come across Klaus Patriarch Jorenus, a man called Ariovistan, an orc that would surely have murdered him had the Brotherhood of Saint Karl not interfered, various people he knew from his past, and many, many more.After having been about Karosgrad for a good few hours, he returned to the roads, where just outside the gate he was met by a couple of Holy Knights of the Order of Saint Nicolas intent on escorting him back to the Abbey. Though, his illness caught up with him by the time they were halfway there, as the result of which he collapsed and had to be carried the rest of the way.He drifted in and out of consciousness by the time they arrived, surrounded by the same Holy Knights that had brought him there, members of his Curia, and finally those of the College of Cardinals. He was prayed over, and after having received last rites, passed away in relative peace.REQUIESCAT IN PACEFiodor Jazloviecki-Svarogovich 1819 - 1876 Pontifex Maximus Tylus Secundus MDCCCLVI - MDCCCLXXVI High Pontiff Tylos the Second 1856 - 1876 Spoiler Whilst probably forever a somewhat controversial character, Tylos II has been a serious blast to play. Thank you to everyone that roleplayed with me over the past few months. 75 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact the church never excommunicated you for your blasphemy is truly shocking." remarked Ser Walton. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn__TWG 2616 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Patriarch Klaus stood within the hall of Reinmar's cathedral, once again distracted by his thoughts to join the others in praying. His eyes stayed glued to the portraits of Saint Tylos, constant muttering under his breath. It seemed this was the most distressed he'd ever been, the Bishops around him ushering him to rejoin them, but to no avail. "Ich hope du understand, Ihr Holiness." were the only words the present clergy could clearly make out from the man, before he simply left the Cathedral for now. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marslol 672 Share Posted June 8, 2022 A cursed child attempted to pray through sobs for the safe passing of her friend, but found she could not. Small hands clutched the golden rosary with white knuckles in a vice-like grip. Words echo in her ears as she attempted to steel her cries - perhaps all He truly did was take. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
argonian 12844 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Stanimar, hearing of the peaceful yet equally bitter death of Canondom's shepherd, signs the cross with a weak mutter, having the faith to pray for His Holiness' respite, and yet not the faith to hope for a better future after his passing. The schism may have come and gone, the enemies of Canondom muffled with its passing, but how could any soul, excepting those of greatest naïveté, expect them to stay equally silent now that their foes had perished? The faith's enemies would grow bolder, and the presence of bulwarks of orthodoxy, as His Holiness had been, would be sorely missed in bitter days to come. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnsider 4542 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Holy Sir David Invitus looked to the Nicolite sister who bent was bent over the High Pontiff, checking for a heart beat through the horn she had pressed to her ear. There was silence in the room, and all was still. Finally, the sister shook her head and David gritted his teeth. "Mortuus est Papem," he said softly, a tear rolling down his cheek. David had always been the reluctant soldier, but Tylos II had truly shown him his path. He would miss him. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harald 2490 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Learning the news of the High Pontiff's passing Sir Rev Vuiller would light sign the lorraine moving to find his old prayer book. The aged man thinking back on the memories and interactions between himself and his Holiness over the years going to say a prayer for Tylos II.Bishop Drasus would begin to light candles within the Basilica La Sorella, the young bishop getting ready to host a mass in memory of the late High Pontiff. A healthy looking Holy Sir Johan Vuiller and Saint Harald Vuiller would stand next to one another within the Seven skies, their arms opened wide as they looked to Tylos II "Welcome home brother" spoke Johan with his warm and kind smile rested upon his face. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
makeitsoyoucandeleteaccounts 610 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Fr. Melquíades had wept. Admittedly, the whole day, standing besides the sickly Pontiff's deathbed, singing repeated melodies in an unrecognizable language, repeatedly hiding thanks and blessings amidst his songs as the never ending chorus raged on. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
