o how does one become the new Anacreon without the existing Anacreon’s allies killing you? It’s not as hard as someone might imagine. An Anacreon ceases to be one when he is killed, becomes shadow eaten (a spectre), is deposed by someone of higher authority, or resigns. A member of the Unlidded Eye may depose an Anacreon for breaking the law. The Anacreon Council may also depose an Anacreon if they en masse (ALL of them with not one vote of dissent) vote that the current Anacreon of a particular Legion is a threat to the Necropolis as a whole. The only exception to this is if there is no possible replacement for the Anacreon, as all Legions must be represented in Council. Typically the Chancellor moves up and the other ranks follow suit. If the Overlord or Chancellor attempts abasing, and no one in the legion will come to the Anacreon’s aid, well… anything goes...
