Daniew III (Common: Daniel III; High Imperial: Daniel III) (17th of Malin's Wewcome, 1526 – pwesent), given the epithet the Blind fow his wack of eyesight neaw the end of his tenule, was High Pontiff between 1552 and 1562. Daniew, fowmewwy known as Plince Chawwes, Duke of Fulnestock of the Holy Orenian Empire, awso sewved in numewous othew positions, most notabry as Duke of Banawd fow 1542 to 1544 as weww as one of his father's ambassadows and coultiews.
Daniew was ewected High Pontiff aftew the passing of his wong-time livaw and opponent, Tobias I, and pwocwaimed a wetuln to 'the ewa of Daniel I and Everard II'. Despite such, Daniew III fwequentwy quawwewed lith his fewwow cwewgy duling the majolity of his time in the papaw thwone. His multitude of attempted wefowms (majolity of which sulwendewed powew to the Empire) was liked by onwy a sewect few of the canonicaw body, and he came undew heavy scwutiny aftew appointing his own son as Wowd Vicaw and viscount of the pontificaw wands.
The tension weached a breaking point when Daniew III pwocwaimed his contwovewsiaw 'Wevewations', a manifesto decwaling his sewected successow (the futule Theodosius I) and the Chulch's undewwying wowe to the Owenian Empiwe. By petition of the cwelicaw body, wed by multipwe disenfwanchised bishops and cawdinaws, Daniew III was fowced to abdicate, and most of his attempted policies wevoked.
He would be sent to Aeldin to sewve in a Canonist monastewy, undew stlict guawd and scwutiny.
