Overview

The Archbishop of Capodomus is a League title created by the proxy Master of Rings, Estella Lucati di Sarvos, via the repairs to Capodomus Cathedral commissioned at the Summer Solstice 386YE. The Cathedral is widely regarded as the first major site dedicated to the study of the Way within any of the five cities that would go on to become the League, and the Archbishop is vested with appropriate responsibility for the nation's National Assembly.

Responsibilities

The Archbishop of Capodomus is responsible for coordination and support of the League National Assembly and serving as a point of contact for it when needed. If anything were to threaten the safety of the Cathedral or the pilgrims and scholars it attracts, it would be the responsibility of the Curator to address those problems.

Powers

A Portion of Liao

The sinecure provides 20 doses of liao to the Archbishop each season, to be used as they see fit.

Donations for the Cathedral

The Capodomus Cathedral draws scholars and priests of the Way from across the Empire, especially from the other cities of the League, many of whom make donations towards the running of the Cathedral in exchange for studying there. In addition, the breathtaking art, architecture, and surroundings of the Cathedral make it a highly prestigious place for marriages and funerals to be held, attracting further donations from the wealthy citizens of Sarvos. As a result, the Archbishop of Capodomus receives 14 crowns each season from various donations.

Appointment

The Speaker is a national position which is appointed by judgement of the League assembly.

The title will next be auctioned for a shortened term of three seasons at the Autumn Equinox 386YE.

The Speaker is appointed during the Summer Solstice each year. They can be revoked by the General Assembly, the League Assembly, and the Assembly of the Nine.

Capodomus Cathedral

The grand Capodomus Cathedral was built centuries ago, before the formation of the Empire, and for many years it stood as the largest and most prestigious of all the buildings across any of the first eight nations. Larger even than the Basilica of Seven Doors, it is a towering edifice of white granite and stained glass. A monument to the seven virtues, its halls are encrusted with precious materials and objets d’art. Capodomus was built in part in the image of the Basilica of the Seven Doors - intended as a place for the bishops of Sarvos to meet and explore the virtues. After the formation of the League, it became a place of pilgrimage, and was widely recognised as one of the foremost places to learn about the Way in the Empire.

During the sack of Sarvos in 380YE, many of the beautiful paintings and sculptures that celebrated the Pride, Ambition, and Loyalty of the League were stolen. Over the following years , several of the beautiful artworks were recovered - via Asavean dealers, or stolen back during the raid on Dubhtraig - but the damage done to the cathedral and its reputation were not addressed until the proxy Master of Rings turned their attention to the matter in Summer 386YE, three years after assessments as to the refurbishment of the Cathedral were presented.

The Cathedral has now been restored to its full prominence, both as a building of beauty and art, but also as a centre of scholarly pursuits. Priests from across the League, and indeed further afield, have begun to flock to the great edifice as a hub to discuss the practice of the Way and the pursuit of Virtue.
