Nobody knows what really happened, for it was so terrible that millions upon millions of lives were lost to conflict and disease, along with most of mankind's achievements. Many theories appeared over the centuries, attributing the destruction to great plagues, fires in the sky, and the wrath of gods. Those that did live to tell the tale likely refused to for their own sanity's sake."

While much of his life is shrouded in legend, it is generally believed he was born in the pre-Event, living as a humble shepherd. In his fifties he would receive a vision from the Archangel Raphael, who instructed him to warn the world of the degenerate and squalid Rome's punishment. His message would receive a great following in his native Spain, leading to his proclamation as the true Pope in Seville, only a month before the Event. He would reportedly pass on the age of two-hundred, becoming the first saint canonised by the Sevillian Papacy."

- sevillian_desc:0 "In the final days before the event, the Archangel Raphael sent a vision to a man now known as a great Saint to the Sevillians. It showed him that Rome had become corrupt once more and that the Vicar of Christ should no longer be seated in that wretched city, instead demanding it should be seated in the righteous city of Seville, and if this did not occur a great calamity would befall the world. He attempted to warn the church of the vision, who refused to place their faith in him. In preparation for the oncoming calamity he sought to gather as many followers as possible and establish a new church in the world which would come after, becoming the first Sevillian Pope. When he revealed to the people of Spain that it was the Papacy who had led them to the apocalypse, many of the most fundamentalist Catholics who in the years before the event had grown tired with the growing progressivism of the church flocked to this new church's banners after the event, believing it to better represent the church of old. With all of Spain now following the Sevillian Pope, the faith can now hope to crush the misguided Catholics and their Pope in Rome, and return the world under the shield of the one true church."

Long since then, the [Concept('neow_sevillian_church','Sevillian Papacy')|E] has come to develop a canon that rejects many of the mistakes made by the Roman Vicar, especially those of the Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican. Further, the Sevillians have upheld long standing practices since abandoned by the Roman Church, from the allowance of indulgences in serious cases, to the prohibition on clerical marriage and the ordination of women."
