First Interregnum

The Interregnums are those periods of time where the church has been without an Arch-Warden.

When Danthel Abbled died on campaign, and the Stone-Warden revealed she had left no successor, the Stand was thrown into turmoil and confusion, leading to the First Interregnum. The First Interregnum lasted from 167 FI until 169 FI, during which time the Stand discussed the problem of succession and figured out how to bypass the Stone-Warden to anoint a new Arch-Warden. Unlike later Interregnums, which could rightly be labeled "civil wars", the First Interregnum was a peaceful, if ponderous, transfer of power.

After a great deal of debate, a popular and well respected, but ancient gnome - Paggnellot Hargadramd - was finally chosen as the new Arch-Warden.
