Regarding the Conclave selecting the next Proxima: Whatever happens, the empire will be harmed.
In one scenario, Zephyr Halima will be selected against Brother Days's wishes and orthodoxy and the Primary Octavo will be restored. The Cleon dynasty will face a decrease in perceptions of legitimacy and, eventually, direct challenges to their rule.
Alternatively, Brother Day will succeed, through coercion and/or bribery, in ensuring that the assembly will select Zephyr Gilat. He will thereby preciptate a schism, as the proponents of the pre-imperial interpretation will split off and decry his tactics.
In both scenarios, military challenges will rise against the dynasty.
