This article was the 1st-Place Winner of the Myths & Magic Contest! Thank you to everyone who voted on the submission. Discovering the RPC wiki has been one of the greatest glories I've experienced, and I deeply cherish this community. Three years on since our inception, and I'm looking forward to the next!

This idea initially came from academic work on my college thesis about the Medieval Papacy. I had also been interested in writing an RPC article featuring the AEP Association. Since this time period currently isn't featured very prominently in the site canon, I went ahead and developed some new lore for this era.

It might be shocking to some to know that most of this article is actually true. My research was primary drawn from the book Vicars of Christ: A History of the Popes.

Hands down one of the best articles in the site, as well as the very best when it comes to Christianity. One can clearly see the research that went behind this piece as well as the effort put into its making.

The "Liber Episcopalis" segment was a blast to read, and the ending was very fucking powerful.

In my opinion, a very deserving winner of the 009 spot.

I love me some lore heavy articles, especially when they tie into the history of the authority, 5+

3/5 overall

4/5 premise. Nice take on an oracle.
3/5 delivery. Despite the length, didn't hit me particularly hard at any point.
3/5 grammar. Verbage at certain points could have been better. The tone of the 1400's article feels modern, not medieval

Nice work, but it is all lore lore lore, and some historical fiction. The payoff is the anomaly explaining itself.
