High Council

The High Council of the Church of Caddyism, or just the High Council, was the group made up of the four High Priests of Caddyism.

## Members

### Franny

Franny was the first member of the High Council, and was appointed directly by Cade. Due to real-world issues, they are no longer on speaking terms with many other major characters, and will not be present in any future Caddyism events.

### Wyatt

Wyatt was one of the early High Council members, and was selected due to his devotion to the church.

### Bella

Bella was also an early High Council member. Her husband, Jamuel, was once banished from Caddyism, leading to some controversy, but was later reinstated.

### Cass

Cass was the last appointed High Council member, and lead the movement to reinstate Jamuel to the church. She was appointed by Franiel due to his devotion to the religion and close connection to Caddy.

### Kirk (formerly)

Kirk is a former member of the High Council, and has since left the church entirely. He now denounces Caddyism, for reasons not entirely known. It is unknown if he has any connection to Danvil.

### Caddy

While not technically a High Priest himself, Caddy discussed church politics with the High Council, and had a large role in deciding what flies and what doesn't.

## Achievements

### Banishment and Reinstatement of Jamuel

Jamuel was a member of the church of Caddyism, and has historically been one of the most controversial members. He was banished from the church for showing disrespect to Caddy, but the High Council ultimately decided to reinstate him, as his crime was minor, and they did not wish to push potential members towards Danvil.

### Banishment of Danvil

The original High Council members were the ones to make the call to banish Daniel from the church when he started getting a little too close to Caddy, arousing suspicion from other members of the church. After his banishment, he became heralded as the embodyment of evil and the anti-Caddy lifestyle, earning himself the title of the Danvil. It is unknown what would have happened were he to have stayed in the church, though he likely would have either reformed or gained power in the church.

### Creation of the Caible

The Caible project, headed up by Cass, aimed to write a comprehensive story that explains all of the characters and events of Caddyism in a way that reflects the events of the Bible. The High Council members all made contributions of ideas for the story. The project was later cancelled in light of the fall of the church.

### Protection of the Egg of the Antichrist

The Antichrist was conceived by Caddy and Daniel, making it a perfect, immensely powerful, and morally ambiguous being. It has not yet hatched from its egg, which is disguised as a year-and-a-half old cough drop. The egg was protected by the members of the High Council, as they feared what would happen if it fell into the possession of the Danvil or the Angel of Death. Currently, the egg is believed to be in Franny's possession.

### The First Great Purge

In early December of 2019, the Hangout reached maximum capacity of 150 members. In order to allow room in the chat for prospective members, Franny, Wyatt, and Bella decided to kick any members who they deemed to be too inactive or not devout enough, resulting in nearly 80% of the chat's population being purged. Upon hearing of the horrible crimes his own council had committed against his people, Caddy was mortified, and immediately began to speak out against the actions of the council. This was the most controversial of their actions while in power, and while it was generally accepted as a bad decision, some people argue that it was healthy for the chat, and that eventually a Third Great Purge will be necessary to keep the chat alive.

### The Revolution

Following Caddy's open opposition to the purge, the priests made the highly risky decision to banish another member: Caddy himself. The priests attempted to convince the Caddyists that they made the right decision, and that the Council should be the new gods, but their attempts were unsuccessful, and they were themselves banished.

### The Second Great Purge

After the previous High Priests were allowed back in the chat, they were forced to disband and abandon all power. However, Wyatt, Bella, and Franny would later regroup and purge the entire chat before any of the leaders or civilians had time to react and prevent the tragedy.
