So, is this a process similar to the election of a new Pope by the Catholic Church?
It is interesting to see the thought you guys put into it though. Is this the first time the Synod has met to select a High Priest?
It's modelled on papal conclave yes.
The Synod was an idea Selene proposed and got implemented a while back and it was agreed it would select the High Priest. Nobody actually came up with how the Synod would do that though so Selene sat down and decided on a process and announced it at the same time as her resignation - basically the election system was one of her last acts as High Priest.
