Editing Ophelia VII (section)

==Trivia==

In the [[Warhammer 40,000 2nd edition|early days of 40K canon]], Ophelia VII was instead known as Ophelia IV or 4, though nobody seems to know why it got changed. [[40K Rules Blooper Reel|Good chance it was a typo that no one caught until it was too late]].

The whole thing with the Ecclesiarchy packing up and moving to Ophelia VII for a few centuries is most likely based on the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avignon_Papacy| Avignon Papacy] of 1309-1376, when the French king Philip IV strong-armed the cardinals of the Catholic church into electing his close friend Bertrand de Got as the new Pope, who then refused to move to the Vatican and set up shop in the city of Avignon. The reasons for this are complicated and deal with the role of the state vs. the church in temporal/political matters, but it basically boils down to Philip wanting to prove a point about how nobody told him what to do when it came to running his kingdom, sort of the reverse of the 40K scenario.
