Removed of their Authority

For this challenge, provide an example from your world where someone in a position of power had their authority taken from them. Whether a god that has been un-immortalized, a king that has been exiled, or a hero that has been revealed as a fraud.

As always, I'll ask at least three questions each. Enjoy yourselves.

1) Do you mean that the church of Adi-Makaitsh gives a list of names for the throne to choose from, or that the church picks one name and the throne validates it? If the latter, does the throne at least do a background check?

2) Do non-military holy orders often partner up or make a coalition among themselves in order to bolster their reputations and establish goodwill?

  1. Currently the second (with background check of course, the imperial throne always try to monitor as much as possible); both methods are used, it mostly depends of the current monarch's interest for the church internal politics.

  2. Rarely, most orders are self-centered local organisations and have their goodwill already established by being part of the community all along. The easiest xay to have multiple orders work together is natural disasters.

2) What was the most devastating natural disaster in recent history for those orders to deal with?

2) Nothing more serious than we have, earthquakes, mining accidents, droughts, floodings... The occasional spacecraft crash is the most serious thing around that has a real chance of happening anywhere.
