The modern interdynastic period, sometimes referred to as the "postdynastic period" or as the "Republic of the Priests", began with the final fall of the Yun-harle dynasty in [[1970]] and concluded with the fall of Anzo in [[2024]]. The period was characterized by a mostly non-hereditary succession of the office of Zûrg: of the eight men to serve as Zûrg in the period, only one succeeded his father to the office. Contemporary Varshani cultural observers appear to have viewed the period as being ruled by "dynasties of one man" rather than an abolition of the dynastic period, and many of these transitions occurred by circumstance rather than deliberate effort. Four Zûrgs died relatively young, one appears to have been infertile, and the remaining three were either usurped or deposed at the end of the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. | The modern interdynastic period, sometimes referred to as the "postdynastic period" or as the "Republic of the Priests", began with the final fall of the Yun-harle dynasty in [[1970]] and concluded with the fall of Anzo in [[2024]].
