The Godsmoot Crisis Could Have Been Resolved Really Easily

[Dion]

Couldn't Heimdall have just ordered his high priest to commit suicide or to defer their position to someone who wasn't in the temple?

No, because Durkula would have changed that priest into a vampire, this preserving the vote.

Also, I’ve read the rules for the godsmoot. After a suicide, puppets are allowed to vote. And I have it on good authority that Banjo wants to destroy the world and watch it burn.
