The Conclave of Bishops (''juṃšumi lanedāmeh'') is the organ of the Inquisition which elects (or rëelects) the Great Inquisitor. The Conclave of Bishops is formed by all bishops of Yunyalīlti dioceses - not just those in the Inquisition - thus numbering at least 194 electors (158 bishops in the Inquisition and 36 abroad), plus the Head Monks of fourteen different monasteries, and eventually up to six "Conclave enterers" (''lanedāntalonīn'') named by the preceding Great Inquisitor. Every elector in the Conclave, as long as they're female and have entered the 23<sub>10</sub>rd year of age, may be elected as Great Inquisitor; Bishops of the Inquisition's territories are most commonly elected (also because they are the majority), but compromise may result in other candidates get elected: current Great Inquisitor, Hæliyǣšāvi Dhṛṣṭāvāyah ''Lairē'', was elected in the Conclave of 6420 (3870<sub>12</sub>) which she entered as a ''lanedāntalonīn''<ref>She had, however, been ''acting maid'' (''labdarṣilardhīka'') of Šulegāvi Ghūrvāyelišā ''Lileikhura'', Bishop of Līlasuṃghāṇa.</ref>.

The Conclave of Bishops gathers in the Red Halls (''ūnikirāhe kamelьšītai'') of the Inquisitorial Palace every twelve years at the formal end of the Great Inquisitor's mandate, or prior if she resigns, dies in office, or is deposed. Each member of Conclave (''lanedāminyoe'') casts a secret vote for a fellow member of Conclave (excluding themselves and non-eligible ones) and, in the first twelve rounds (three days of voting), a two-thirds-majority is required to be elected; from the thirteenth round (the first of the fourth day of Conclave) 50%+1 of votes is enough. If the round of Conclave is successful, a golden yellow flag is raised on top of the Inquisitorial Palace and both towers (the bell and the drum tower) of the nearby Blossoming Temple start playing. If the round is unsuccessful, a black flag is raised on top of the Palace and there is no sound.

Members of Conclave, during its duration, may not go outside a delimited area of the Inquisitorial Gardens and are forbidden to have contacts with the outside world, except for breaking news of major importance from their dioceses. There are four rounds of voting each day: at 3 and 7 in the morning, at 4 in the afternoon, and at 1 in the evening. Each round typically lasts about an hour, with each member having 16<sub>12</sub> (18<sub>10</sub>) minutes for voting.
