The corruption and downfall of the Pope of the White Church in Saint Rael marked the beginning of all disasters and was the main reason for the fall of Saint Rael.

Rode once accompanied the First Holy Son of the White Church, Taxis, to the Sacred Fire altar in the royal city of Saint Rael, where they met the Pope Osaliven, who was on the brink of corruption.

This true king revealed all the truths to them, stating that the real threat came from beyond the Spirit World, as the pollution of the Sea of Origin was feeding back into the world. The great terror from the starry sky would eventually descend, and it was upon encountering this moment of destruction that he ventured alone into the starry sky, attempting to prevent the great pollution from arriving. Yet, at this time, the God of Filthy Blood awoke, and fighting on two fronts, the Pope was ultimately corrupted, and tragedy still struck.

But it wasn't the worst outcome.
