(Council of Passau occurring in 1114 CE)

When the Kingdom of Zintra came into existence after the conquests of King Leonel I, it brought about changes in territory. Swathes of land that had not been filled up by nobles or large cities, the latter preferring to keep more centralised land-control and the former seeking to develop their castles before going out and claiming territory in a competition with their fellow vassals under the King.

This would not do for Leonel II Gaisarean, who saw a potential expansion of the power of the nobility as a problem that would persist for generations. Instead, he sought to put a counter-balance to the nobles in place.

In the years following the fall of the Vuugist Empire - Vuugism as an institution lost quite a bit of weight in Germania proper. The Vuugist Druids that were so influential in the final years of the Empire had lost their influence amidst the people and nobility, especially during the times of chaos and conflict that ensued.

However, it was during the reign of King Leonel II where all the most prominent Vuugist Druids were called to the city of Passau to discuss reform and the future of the Vuugist faith in Zintra.

The King wished to institutionalise the clergy in his lands, to grant them more power by giving them control over Bishoprics where they would be able to collect taxes off of peasants. By becoming priests and monks instead of recluse Druids, it would reintegrate Vuugism into the lives of the peasantry and society as a whole.

The Council of Passau gave rise to a number of Bishoprics alongside numerous monasteries that were built and founded across Zintra.
