The Grey Interim was a short-lived period of democratic governance in Kæra'zna headed by the Kæra nihilist movement, officially entitled the Kæra Free Association. The Free Association immediately followed the 1851 Nylic Revolution, which overthrew the previously ruling Kæra monarchy. Following a sixth-month tenure, in which the elected revolutionary government attempted to establish a radical decentralized system of sapientarian democracy, the state fell into disarray in the Two Weeks' Anarchy. This period, in which essential services came to a halt and political violence became inescapable, allowed for the previously minor Ritual nihilist faction to overtake the government, establishing the dictatorial Kæra Collective Republic.
