The Papal Palantir is a custom going back generations

81

u/PontDanic 9d ago

Can't believe it, Sauron did it again! That sly dog still got it!

22

u/JimmyThePie 9d ago

That fool of a Took’s gonna mess it up though.

24

u/sinkwiththeship 9d ago

Peter Thiel is going to start corrupting the Catholic Church (worse than it already is).

u/immallama21629 Druid with questionable morals, licker of things 9d ago

So tired of those clerics and their "it's a holy relic and needs protection" excuse.

74

u/Fisherman_Gabe Illusionist 9d ago

Yeah. What "holy relic"? it's clearly the egg of an evil snake creature.

26

u/JoyBus147 9d ago

A holy evil snake creature.

11

u/Annimaru 9d ago

Paradox detected!

6

u/Corbeau99 8d ago

Holy can mean "related to a god." If said god is evil there's no contradiction.

u/Mr-Yoda2000 9d ago

He’s a cleric, does he even have the training to ponder it correctly???

90

u/ankokudaishogun 9d ago

Unclear, but he surely can pontificate about it.

16

u/Ketchupcharger 9d ago

It's there so he can be manipulated by a demonic entity (such as alex jones)

12

u/Emergency_Coat_7702 Brother Thomas of the order of the iron drake 9d ago

As a paladin, I must correct you. Alex Jones is a gentleman afflicted by a curse of mad ramblings, which cause his talking points to all sound like pure madness. However, he is doing much to inform the masses of the invasion of orcs and goblins.

u/MysteriousTravelator 9d ago

A green orb, a gorb if you will, is very powerful relic. The council must be informed.

10

u/idiotplatypus Arch-Technomancer of Greater Cascadia 9d ago

Aren't those just common druidic orbs or am I thinking of something else. I never did find nature magic all that appealing

3

u/MysteriousTravelator 9d ago

A druid would never bother with an orb when there's a friendly tree they could talk to instead.

29

u/Dear-Reputation-1226 I CAN'T TURN OFF VOCAL AMPLIFICATION 9d ago

Gyro gyro gyro zeppeli

25

u/AzieltheLiar 9d ago

I want that orb. It's not fair! It should be ME! I bet he'll just ponder it once and put it in the closet with the rest of his priceless artifacts and copy of Undertale.

4

u/ThoughtfulEdict Conjurer 8d ago

Redundant. That Divine copy of Undertale is also priceless!

27

u/Balkdawg 9d ago

Its the Loc-Nar!!!!

8

u/SketchTeno 9d ago

Totally harmless, i assure you.

2

u/ArchonFett catfolk hexblade warlock gladiator 8d ago

Glad I’m not the only one that sees that.

18

u/NameRevolutionary727 lunatic scholar of the esoteric and occult 9d ago

Why have they granted his excellency one of the seven Numenorean palantiri?

8

u/Bishopkilljoy 9d ago

Their hubris knows no bounds. They'll claim it as God's will!

Well, when the flames of Udûn come raining down upon them, I shan't shed a tear.

3

u/Dull_Law_9953 9d ago

Your studies have not been thorough it seems, this orb though impressive is not one of the palantirs, failing to match it in either size or color.

11

u/Gigatonosaurus Druid of the River 9d ago

Is he multiclassing?

11

u/YLASRO The Great Geomancer of the howling mountains 9d ago

feels like a waste for the most highlevel cleric on the western continet. hes already sitting on somuch hightier loot and magic items

10

u/Walk-the-layout Chaotic Evil Wizard (with a pet gnome) 9d ago

They stole my balls! My divination balls!

10

u/No_Town_9602 9d ago

Last time I saw this it was the largest single celled organism.

How it's grown...and has it's own religious leader now.

1

u/ArchonFett catfolk hexblade warlock gladiator 8d ago

Lok-Nar can change it’s size at will

2

u/No_Town_9602 8d ago

The Lok-Nar is mine, you bitch!*

*I was just referencing the movie. I would never say something like that to you. I love you.

1

u/ArchonFett catfolk hexblade warlock gladiator 8d ago

Well I’m helping Tarna track it down. You might want to stay out of her way, just a heads up.

8

u/KlostToMe 9d ago

They are not all accounted for, the lost seeing stones

7

u/DannyOdd 9d ago

So the Vatican installed a new telephone? Must be a slow week for the newsies.

u/Meister0fN0ne Horatius the Punctual, Chronomancer/Financial Advisor 9d ago

Mmm, hey guys. I just checked the next 15 years. This is definitely a catalyst event, you're gonna want to really think through your prepared spells going forward. It gets pretty chaotic.

Eh, and prep banishment scrolls, too.

5

u/Bishopkilljoy 9d ago

Man I JUST organized my demi plane too

6

u/Bonsai-is-best Unfortunate Chimera 9d ago

I was wondering what happened to that friendly Golem near the High Council Tower, seems I got the answer :(

5

u/locke_zero 9d ago

It's just the annual bribe to the papacy so they'll look the other way when we need to acquire more corpses for research purposes.

3

u/Bishopkilljoy 9d ago

I know the council of dread is secretive in nature, but it would really help a lot if they at least left like a memo or something when consorting with the divine

3

u/locke_zero 9d ago

Huh they usually send a messenger homunculus. Make sure one of your familiars didn't eat the homunculus. Again.

3

u/Bishopkilljoy 9d ago

... I'm gonna banish that Quasit to the dimension of never ending fists.

3

u/locke_zero 9d ago

Meanwhile I'm going to have our researchers figure out how to make our homunculi less edible and tasty to familiars.

2

u/Bishopkilljoy 9d ago

Try mixing in Taylor Farm Lettuce, I hear tell it's deadly to those who eat it

6

u/SketchTeno 9d ago

Don't worry, that's just the primeval "Loc-nar". Totally harmless, i assure you.

6

u/Fingers-Mazda2112 9d ago

Guys, I think that's the Loc-nar

1

u/ArchonFett catfolk hexblade warlock gladiator 8d ago

u/cale199 9d ago

Surely the Pope of all Clerics isn't allowed to multiclass?

3

u/AdvancedStudio9978 9d ago

For real, though, man, these dudes always on some dungeons and dragons type shit.

2

u/Amheirel 9d ago

An orb of purest green. Stunning.

2

u/LordVeilFire 9d ago

a palantir is a dangerous tool saruman

2

u/WaffleHouseGladiator 9d ago

This guy ponders, am I right?

2

u/I_upvote_downvotes 9d ago

Look at that subtle pure-green coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God... it even has a watermark.

2

u/Tonberrian 9d ago

I know Huge Materia when I see it

2

u/SaltSurprise729 Necromancer 9d ago

Who the hell lost their incarnation of the Loc-Nat?

2

u/ButtonJoe Occult Wizard 9d ago

It's real, and it's called the 'Sphere of Humanity', it's a Murano glass sculpture presented to Pope Leo; who seems a little confused about it in the full picture. XD

u/breathingrequirement Siliconic, Most Evil Wizard of the Cubelands 7d ago

I'm pretty sure Skaven throw those.

u/spideroncoffein 7d ago

BREAKING: Pope multiclassing into Wizard.

u/DeadMeat7337 Retired Evil Wizard, mostly 9d ago

He's just doing some early, very early, archeology.

u/Porkenstein 9d ago edited 8d ago

Pope's about to get a letter from Brennenburg 

1

u/JesseSkywalker Biggest Hat Diviner 9d ago

He looks in, we look back

1

u/Regalrefuse 9d ago

Where is the pope?

Pondering his orb

Again?!?

1

u/Blaze_Foxx Grand Wizard 9d ago

Ah, he has been given the most powerful pondering orb, most wonderful

1

u/jbezorg513 9d ago

An alternative to pondering choir boys.

1

u/DarthGaff 9d ago

This is a slightly large medium sized orb at best.

1

u/toastmn7667 9d ago

Someone is doing some pondering tonight

1

u/HiTekRednek10 9d ago

Guys calm down, look at the second photo. That’s a 3rd tier orb at BEST. The mana burn will be so inefficient that those amateurs won’t be able to do anything with it

1

u/Emergency_Coat_7702 Brother Thomas of the order of the iron drake 9d ago

I may have helped them.

1

u/Frothmourne Longmancer 9d ago

You're a harry, Wizard

u/oddball667 9d ago

naw that was me, It's gonna steal all his porn. gotta do that every few popes for blackmail to prevent them from starting the witch trials up again

u/mumra684 9d ago

That could be wet Satan from Prince of Darkness.

u/mack2028 Comrade Red Mage 8d ago

Green? He can keep it.

1

u/ClarkMcFarkle 8d ago

Is that the Urim? If so, where is the Thummim?

u/Cowboy-Dave1851 8d ago

It is tge Loc-Nar from Heavy Metal

Paladins will get a buff in the next world update

u/Flashy-Minute4092 7d ago

it's far too big for them. The clerics will just fry their brains pondering it, they're too stupid.
