Das Konklave

After the death of the Divine Monarch, the Speakers of the One Faith must come together to choose which of them will be the new Divine.

Long Description

The Divine is dead. Long live the Divine!

For centuries, the One Faith has been at the heart of the State, protecting the bodies and souls of the masses from the insidious threat of Kaos.

After the unexpected demise of the Divine - the most blessed of God who rules both the church and the State, the Speakers of the One Faith must gather for a Konclave to choose which of them will become the next Divine. Until they decide, they will be locked away in the Small Chapel, with no contact with the rest of the world. Tensions will rise, skeletons will fall out of the closet (perhaps literally), and the agents of Kaos are everywhere - maybe even here. But somehow, they must decide. And what of the One Faith itself? A new Divine means a new era - should the Faith confront its wrongs of old, or should it seek to bury them?

This is a game of faith, big decisions, and maaaaybe a touch of real divine magic. While the game is inspired by the recent Catholic papal conclave, the religion and nation in the game are completely fictional, with their own issues and problems (i.e. nothing related to sexual abuse or child abuse).

The characters are all the most senior priests of the Faith (called Speakers), and they can all be of any gender.

While the religion is the backdrop and setting for the larp, the gameplay is not really about observing faith, and much more about scheming, plotting and backstabbing each other to become the supreme ruler!
