Randol Yorke, the first President of the Federation, died after a long illness in March 760. The then Vice President, Lincoln Troy-Abrahams, called a quick election to confirm his position. During a vicious campaign that resulted in a number of deaths and injuries of prominent Federation movers and shakers, Lincoln proved victorious.
It was a year and a day later that Randol returned from the dead, and found that his Federation had moved on. His work was not yet complete however, and several changes to the Federal constitution have enshrined the post of First president in perpetuity as a key member of the Federation’s government and leadership.
