Laurence made a mistake.
At the time, allowing the Catholic Church to clean up
its lists of saints seemed like a good idea: there was
a lot of folklore, legendry and really unbelievable
stuff floating around there, and what was worse,
people were noticing. It's not about to destroy
anybody's Faith, per se, but it _will_ lead to a
certain amount of mockery. Best to take the medicine
and move on.
A great thought, but there's one minor problem.
Divine faiths don't produce ethereals, right? That's
right, they don't. So, when the Church introduced St.
Brigit, they managed to put a stake through the heart
of the ethereal goddess of the same name.
Unfortunately, what they _didn't_ consider is what
would happen when those old saints were officially
thrown out of the calendar. The Archangel of the
Sword assumed that, once gone, the ethereal gods
couldn't come back.
And we all know what happens when you assume, right?
Now, Laurence needs to get these saints back _into_
the calendar before all those deities get revved up
again. Thanks to the Church's new position, they can
even grab Essence expended on behalf for the saint
(you say that non-official saints aren't going to
generate ethereal Essence? Tell it to the loa):
objectively speaking, the irony is delicious.
The Archangel is somewhat hampered in this by the fact
that the saints in question never actually existed,
but that's what Servitors are for. Not to mention
excellent forgers. Just manufacture the evidence, all
right?
And no, _don't_ try to enlist Litheroy's aid.
Laurence doesn't care how good of an archeologist he
(or his Servitors) is: this sort of thing will only
disturb him and make him say extremely rude things in Council...
