Anselm II’s health uses a depletion die; on a roll of 1, the die size decreases and the situation intensifies. It is not expected to improve again.

Each faction controls a certain number of “points”, a hidden measure representing a combination of power and influence.
The scoring is based on the proportion of power held by each faction. Thus, the position of a faction can be improved by increasing its own points, destroying points belonging to other factions, or transferring points from other factions to itself.
A faction will become insurrectionary if its power share is double that of the Imperial Loyalists.
Each faction has a recklessness value. If the Domesday Clock is below that value and the faction has more than half the power share of the Imperial Loyalists, the faction will become insurrectionary. If the faction possesses a plurality of the power share, it will rebel against Kaiser Anselm.
If an insurrectionary faction ever controls a majority power share, that faction will immediately rebel against Kaiser Anselm. It will also replace the Imperial Loyalists as the target of insurrection, above.
When one or more factions are insurrectionary or in rebellion, the undecided power share will tend to polarize among these factions and the majority faction.
Subfactions are free to change their faction alignment. This may cause drastic shifts in the power share of the factions.
When the Domesday Clock is less than 40, and again less than 20, random events will become worse for the Empire.
Insurrectionary and rebellious factions will steadily progress(↑) the Domesday Clock, while Imperial or majoritarian crackdowns will cause severe but decaying (↓) decreases.
