After the torching of Caer Dineval that lead to the death of Speaker Crannoc Siever, the town needs a new leader. Sheriff Markham Southwell of Bryn Shander made his way to visit the town and take stock of the damage caused. With his presence in the town, the denizens of Caer Dineval decide to organize and nominate a leader for themselves. Despite others having more experience, Grim's Silver Tongue is able to gather a majority vote for Ker'n.
Sheriff Markham Southwell named her the official interim Speaker of Caer Dineval. He will take the nomination back to the Council of Speakers and they will ultimately decide if they endorse it and seat her as the new Speaker. Alternately, the Council may pick another of the available candidates, or seat a Speaker of their choosing if they do not deem her fit to lead.
