I will reiterate that I never compared Edelgard or her actions to the Reformation, only certain aspects of the impact that they had on the established social structures of the time in a more general sense, both in corruption or in doctrine, although I do not have strong opinions on that matter because once again, I'm not a theologian. I am well aware of how the Catholic Church operates. Regardless of if the Church felt the Reformation was a threat during Luther's lifetime or not, the Council of Trent and the reforms associated with it happened as a direct result of what he did, regardless of the Hussites etc. that had been doing similar things to less effect. Sure, eventually they could have happened without the reformation eventually, but the necessary changes weren't being made beforehand. Replace Luther with Henry as your figure, although their motivations were different, the end result that I'm interested in talking about is the same. The reformation was more impactful than any one individual or movement, much like the French Revolution was not the doing of a single person in a single action. That's just the reality of history 95+% of the time, it's complicated.
I'll write my RP posts, although now that we're leaving my area of relative creative freedom, they might not be quite as... extensive as my original Ferdinand post was.

I mean, as long as you don't describe the place where the wedding is actually happening (The Garden of Enbarr) I don't care what you do. I suppose you should venture towards having Ferdinand enter the Imperial Capital.
