I think a senechal stabbing themself just spawns a new dragon. Whatever eons pass between a new senechal taking over and them getting so bored with being God that they crave the release of nothingness instead is a time of dragon-less peace.

So when Savan couldn't take being God anymore he stabbed himself and that spawned his first dragon, which would be followed in turn by all the arisen who made it to him (slayed the dragon of their time) but where defeated by him. So when the player finally reaches him to hand over the godsbane he has to pull it from his chest.
