So in your setting it's moving to the year 2000? Is the current emperor in your world Diophrates XIII? I know not all of the emperors named Diophrates were descendants of the previous emperor.

If the Banestorm is still sometimes active in your Yrth, the year 2000 might be a good time for that bringing in something new. (In our Earth, we had the feared Y2K--which is in GURPS Y2K).

The church might, as you suggested, use the opportunity to gain more power--after all, Megalos was taken over by a demon! And that's especially because of the year 2000--there could easily be prophecies about that. Maybe an old prophecy could be interpreted retroactively to have "predicted" the demon emperor--and what should be done next.

And there's the possibility of dealing with Caithness in its civil war.

And al-Haz and al-Wazif might have found the former demonic emperor's slackness to be a good reason to do something about Megalos.
