He would be giving over the control of Aeolians (who are supposed to be most of his flock) over to somebody else! And the Nochet Bishop would be a local who has been converted to the Seshnegi doctrines as I do not think that before 1616 ST, the Pharaoh or the Queens of Nochet would tolerate the election of a foreigner as Bishop.

Damned little influence in any case. The Ecclesiarch has about as much influence as the Pope has with the French or the Venetians throughout much of their history.

The Ecclesiarch abhors simony in all its forms. Simony is a regrettable vice of the Quinpolic League. Our Theoblanc may be a bigot but he isn't corrupt.
