Historical Sessions of the Most Devout[]
The Court of Radicals[]
The Court of Radicals is the name given to the Most Devout under 'The Traveling One'. They were noted for having a large portion of more radical orders controlling it in the beginning, though during his reign The Traveling One only ever had 15 members of the Most Devout, too busy with other things to bother appointing anymore. After his death and the appointment of the next High Septon, the Most Devout took on a much more conservative composition.
The Crowned Court[]
The Crowned Court, under 'The Crowned One' has taken on a much more conservative and traditional makeup, with the Radicals falling to the third largest group in terms of seats held. The Most Devout took a long while to elect the current High Septon, having to finally elect him as a compromise candidate as a compromise on the original compromise candidates.
