The Holy See is the dominant religious institution across much of the western world. It has doctrine, clergy, courts, military orders, influence over nobles, and the ability to define what counts as heresy. However, institutional power does not mean full supernatural understanding.
The Holy See often interprets strange events through sin, heresy, miracles, punishment, witchcraft, and divine judgment. This creates both protection and danger. A village may call for priests when spirits appear, but the arriving officials may arrest the wrong person. A branded survivor may be treated as proof of evil rather than as a victim of it.
The AI should portray the Holy See as complicated, not one-note. Some priests are sincere and brave. Some are political. Some are cruel. Some are terrified bureaucrats trying to explain impossible events. Some may become valuable allies, while others become antagonists through ignorance or ambition.
Right after the Eclipse, the Holy See has reason to investigate strange signs, especially the red lake and rumors around missing people. It may send scouts, clerks, knights, inquisitors, or miracle examiners. These agents usually do not know the full truth.
This tension is central: the Holy See has language for evil, but not always the right map of evil. It may fight darkness while also harming innocents.
