Pápež Ľudovít I Arrives in Trigunia

Image

October 3519 - His Highest Holiness Pápež Ľudovít I, Arch-Patriarch of the Terran Patriarchal Church, has begun a tour of the continent of Keris, his own birthplace. Himself of Kerisian descent, being born as Yaropolk Pavlov in the Chadonia Oblast of Trigunia, the current Pápež is also the first Pontiff from Keris. This is also the first visit of an Arch-Patriarch to Trigunia, and with the bloody aftermath of the Dolgavan Crusade, is expected to lead to healing the relations between the Terran Patriarchal Church and the natives of the continent.

The Pope's first visit is in the nation of Trigunia, where all citizens are automatically members of the Church. After remaining in Trigunia for a few days, the Pontiff will move on to visit Dolgava, where he in his youth served as an Inquisitor during the Dolgavan Crusade. The timing of the visit also interestingly coincides with the scheduled convocation of the Veches in Deltaria, currently ruled by a clerical government. Many have speculated that the Pápež chose to leave Deltaria at a time when violence against the Church is likely to erupt, as the pro-Czar Vonkajšíci faction has been increasing its influence and is now in a position to challenge the dictatorship of Cardinal Martinek.

Pápež In Dolgava

Image

After having visited the nation of Trigunia, his birthplace, and having met National Leader Victor Karkanak, the Pápež has now arrived in Dolgava. The latter nation suffered greatly during the Dolgavan Crusade, and it is possible that the Pápež might offer the first official apology of the Church for the harm done. On the other hand, many Dolgavans, especially among those who directly suffered as a result of the Crusade, are opposed to the visit of the man who was once an Inquisitor. The crowds of faithful eager to see the Pontiff are contrasted by large anti-Pápež protests, where people demand that Ľudovít I be held responsible for his and the Church's crimes.

Pápež Assassinated!

January 3520 - Pápež Ľudovít I was assassinated while visiting the nation of Dolgava by 81-year-old Filips Ozoliņš. As the Pontiff was passing through a crowd of faithful on the streets of the city of Karzonpils, the former capital of the Land of Saint Parnum, Ozoliņš fired several shots at the Pápež, fatally wounding him. Three bullets hit the Pontiff in his chest, one hit his left leg, and another bullet hit his head, before Ozoliņš could be apprehended by a number of monks nearby. The Pápež died instantly.

Filips Ozoliņš is one of the indirect victims of the Dolgavan Crusade. When the Pápež participated in the Tribunal of the Divine Inquisition, Teodors and Kristīna Ozoliņš, Filips' parents, became two of his victims. Accused of belonging to the heretical Good Church, the two were imprisoned, tortured, forced to confess, and burned at the stake, all under the supervision of Brother Yaropolk Pavlov, who was to become the Pápež. Filips, orphaned when he was less than one year old, was given to the care of his uncle, who later on sold him to a Manoush caravan, where Ozoliņš learned the crafts of stealth and theft.

The circumstances surrounding the assassination of the Pápež so many years after the end of the Crusade, and during a turbulent time in the Deltarian political scene, indicate that there is more to it than revenge. Ozoliņš was found holding a large number of Deltarian Telars in his pocket, presenting the suspicion that he may have been paid by the Czar for the assassination.
