Request Ecclesiastical Title Split
Petition your Head of Faith to carve a new ecclesiastical Title out of an existing Clerical Region If you are a secular Ruler, it is founded on your Capital and granted to a Holder of your choosing; if you are landed clergy, you are appointed its first Holder The split follows realm borders: the new Title covers only the Counties within this Clerical Region held by you (or, if you are clergy, by your Liege), so a larger Realm carves off more
