Two appointees to cult rank

[Erik]

Lt Warlord Harold Rastinson would most humbly like to be considered for the position of God Talker at the Temple of Orlanth

My dear Harold,

Thank you for your application for the vacant position of God Talker. Once the deadline for applications has passed we will look at all the candidates and select the best qualified. However, I have to say that you seem to be a very suitable candidate and will bring fresh blood into the temple hierarchy.

Praise Orlanth!

Erik Stargazer
Runelord of Orlanth

Rules query, the appointment of a Godtalker is by a Runelord. What happens if 2 initiates apply for the post and each is approved by 2 different Runelords?

The highest ranked appointee has precedence.

If two or more apointees hold the same cult rank, the one most senior has precedence. The higher on the list of cult officials, the higher seniority.

In the case of Erik and Ivarenna, Erik is the more senior one.
