Themes that many people, modes of popular media and history books just don’t delve into. This series, from the moment I came up with it, revolved around a few select themes that I really wanted to explore in depth. There’s the sales pitch for the second LoA. Perhaps an Archbishop back home, standing almost equal to the King of Norwall, or as the Holy Father, sitting on a gilded throne and wielding the Word of God against those who would step in your way. The latter half of the story is about managing your way through that set of powerpolitics, which may bring entire nations to odds, and perhaps in the end you can find yourself in an ultimate position of power. Ultimately, your path will continue to the Holy Seat, where you find an entrenched set of older, powerful men and their families. You may either solidify your place in the lower tiers of the church, or continue to rise through the hierarchy by playing your cards right. Perhaps you’ll condemn a rival noble house with your preaching, or perhaps you will gain the favour of those above you by conducting yourself more carefully.
You will be able to wrangle your way to certain church positions and use that power to run your own agenda, whomever that agenda may side with. You will be sent to a religious institution, you will learn what the monks and/or priests teach you, you will eventually become an adult and able to enter the church politics. Roughly half of the story will revolve around your position in Norwall. Technically, joining the church would remove the title of Lord, but that doesn’t diminish your position as a noble. The protagonist, your character, will be twin to the heir of Aswick, and because of the way nobility works both twins will be Lords of Aswick in their own right until certain other circumstances. Second story will take place during a time where religious institutions are trying to keep a grip on their power, while Kings and Parliaments are trying to distribute those powers to themselves.
