King Patrick IV unexpectedly took ill in December of 1966 and composed his last will and testament. The King showed signs of improvement throughout much of January due to rapid advances in medical technology, but his condition was determined to be terminal by 20 January 1967 and he entered rapid decline soon after. On 1 February 1967, following a decade and a half of rule, King Patrick IV died. His 62-year old brother, Caelian II, ascended to the throne. His first act was a public release of Patrick's will, which released to the public the details of the [[Urlazio Synod]], including incontrovertible evidence that the Commonwealth Union had organized the collapse of the Synod.

At the end of the crisis, Thorpe Aedansson emerged as [[Chancellor and Temporary President]]. King Caelian II controversially decided to appoint the leader of the [[Julian Party (Urcea)|Julian Party]], Petrio Amphár - considered to be a "neutral party" as a third party - as [[Procurator]] for the remaining term, an appointment Aedansson was forced to accept in order to retain the working majority in the [[Concilium Daoni]]. Far from serving as a "lame duck", Amphár and Aedansson embarked on a robust foreign policy platform in order to retain control of the government and in order to move on from the fallout of the Synod Affair; Aedansson's ability to control domestic economic policies were significantly hampered by an agreement to cede the [[Ministry of Commerce (Urcea)|Ministry of Commerce]] to the Pact in order to end the political crisis. Focused on foreign affairs, on 1 June 1967, Amphár received a semi-permanent appropriation for a military campaign in [[Alshar]]. On 15 June, Amphár announced it would join its [[Levantia and Odoneru Treaty Association]] partner [[Burgundie]] in combating militants in [[Alshar]], beginning Urcea's inclusion in [[Operation Kipling]] which would last nearly a decade. | At the end of the crisis, Thorpe Aedansson emerged as [[Chancellor and Temporary President]].
