Patriarch Mikiel III ascends
New Patriarch of Qart Qildar elected by Holy Synod
January 4068 - The Apostolic Church of the East has a new Patriarch today as Mikiel III ascends after election by the Holy Synod in Cildania.
Mikiel is the first Patriarch to have been a Brother of the Society of St. Michael the Watcher, from whom the Patriarch takes his regnal name. The Society of St. Michael the Watcher has become a key pillar of the Apostolic State after if empowered the previous Patriarch, Hannibal XXXIV, as head of state of Cildania.
Mikiel III is younger than his predecessor, and less is known of him - the Brothers are a famously insular group, though they are devout.
The Patriarch's first action in his position was to decry the "violent influence" of Ahmadism in Majatra - comments that come after the assassination of the previous Patriarch, apparently at the hands of Ahmadists, and a devastating terrorists attack in Wiel, Vanuku for which the "Ahmadi Front of Majatra" has claimed responsibility.
OOC: Backdated a bit.
