Câitheèdrelle dè Saînte-Milisènne

The Câitheèdrelle dè Saînte-Milisènne is a cathedral of the Massaliot Couinant Church located in the city of Emaçaille. It was built circa 1270, and it is one of the oldest Chaumentaine churches to exist.

Namesake
The church is named after Saînte Milisènne, patron saint of Emaçaille. According to legend, a small embassy of Byzasin diplomats entered the city, after receiving an invitation from the lord of Emaçaille. The diplomats lodge in the lord’s personal apartments. Milisènne, one of the ladies-in-waiting, overheard the diplomats’ conspiracy to assassinate the lord during a meeting that was supposed to take place that night. Milisènne warned the lord, but he did not believe her. One of her fellow servants recounted:"“After the Lord Denied her, Milisènne breakt [bent] her rob’d legs, kneeling to him. ‘Lord, I beg o’ thee; allow me to be present when you dine with the Byzasins. If thou sees myne Company as Futile, thou may show me Mercy no longer. But Lord, I promise thee: thine Life will be sav’d!”"The Lord accepted Milisènne’s plea, and she was allowed to be present during his meeting with the Byzasins. Milisènne recounted the evening:"“First, the maidservants serv’d the Lord some Wine the East’ners gave him as a Gift. I whisper’d to the Lord not to drink his, and offer it instead to Them, saying he’d already drank ‘is ev’ning Wine. They shook their ‘eads, but the Lord insist’d. Then, knives were brandish’d. I call’d for the Guards, who rid us of the Byzasins. The Lord may consider me ‘is Savour, but it is Édiôniesù that wisht to save ‘im.”"

History
The cathedral was used by the monarchs of Chaumentais for coronation ceremonies and burials until Êlessandré VI restored the Câitheèdrelle dè Saînte-Emaissèmeus. Although the Câitheèdrelle dè Saînte-Milisènne was damaged by the Earthquake of 1436, most of the church remained intact. Before Êlessandré VI commissioned Buissòn Rielin dù Vaquènne to repair the roof of the transept which had collapsed during the earthquake, previous Chaumentaine monarchs, trying to mimic old Massaliot churches that were adorned with open-top roofs, only covered the transept during nighttime. After the cathedral was repaired, Vaquènne lead the reopening ceremony. The cathedral is still one of the most frequented churches in the empire.
