	The Challenger in Waiting is an [[Imperial title]] awarded to a citizen of [[Dawn]]. Construction of the Challenger in Waiting was [[Construct Challenger in Waiting\|announced]] by '''Valentin Ivarovich Orzel''' as [[Bearer of an Imperial Wayleave\|Bearer of the Second Imperial Wayleave]] during the Summer Solstice 385YE.		The Challenger in Waiting is an [[Imperial title]] awarded to a citizen of [[Dawn]]. Construction of the Challenger in Waiting was [[Construct Challenger in Waiting\|announced]] by '''Valentin Ivarovich Orzel''' as [[Bearer of an Imperial Wayleave\|Bearer of the Second Imperial Wayleave]] during the Summer Solstice 385YE.

			The title came with a fair share of controversy, which led to the ''Silver Nightingales'' requesting the senators of Dawn to make clear one way or another whether this was intended to be a [[martial title]]. During the Autumn Equinox 386YE motions for [[386YE_Autumn_Equinox_Senate_sessions#Senate_Motions\|both sides]] were raised, and ultimately it was voted that the title not be made a martial title. For more information on this opportunity see '''[[The_fayre_fight#A_Challenger_in_Waiting\|the fayre fight]]''' wind of fortune.
