I'm confused as to when exactly we started being Azem. In the side story where Hades becomes Emet Selch Hythlodaeus asks if they should go and tell us and Emet says no. That we probably already know. Either from the Amurotin grapevine or that Convocation members get a memo/linkpearl buzz. This gave me the impression that we were already Azem. Heck even Hythlodaeus telling of who backed Hade's nomination backs that thought up in that we as Azem went "Yes, Hades would be a good candidate."

Yet when we get introduced to Venat it comes off as though she only recently stepped down. Unless Venat is that good at "annoying" Emet to the point it only seems like they've worked with each other for a lengthy amount of time.
