As the Imperial city awakes to the ringing sound of the Cathedral bells, ships sail into the harbor in large numbers. Adorned with the Imperial flags of Unionist reverence, processions of holy men parade trough the streets on their way to the Imperial Palace. Reverends from all over Aloria and the Regalian Empire, even the heretical ones such as the Vultar, Etosian and Diviner faiths are present in the lines. Passer by's are presented gifts of charity, sprinkles of holy water or a blessing or two in many different languages, ranging from Ithanian to Ceardian to Daendroque and even Northerne. The Crown Prince has summoned an Imperial Diet of the Holy See. All Reverends, lead by the Supreme Reverend, have descended on Regalia for a holy summit to discuss the latest revelations in the Unionist faith. His holiness Alexander the First has finished the Promise of the Union faith on Vampirism. The exact details are not made public to the people at the start of the Diet, but passing priests express that the contents will be made canon by Holy law and common law as soon as the Diet has concluded on it's finer details. Security in the city is strengthened while all the men of cloth are present, and many eagerly await the results of the Diet, as the last Diet was nearly 50 years ago, during the rule of Justinian the First.
As he joins a procession of holy men throughout the streets, Manfried feels a strong sense of pride at his reverency, and he allows a small smile to pass his lips. He witnesses the prayers, blessings and other holy acts that take place in seemingly every corner. He passes idle chatter with a Diviner Unionist, enjoying the company of the man, regardless of how aggressive he might come across. As the newly-ordained Reverend Edvardsson makes his way towards the Cathedral, he looks forward to the results of this Diet, and hopes that it might bring a conclusive result. He speaks aside to another Regalian Unionist, saying, "As long as this one doesn't bring another schism, it's going to be a good few days."
The teen noticed the unusual amount of priests around. He rolled his eyes dismissively. "No respect for the spirits" Peter muttered, as he wandered off to his home.
