The answer to the first part of the question made no sense, as it was contained in the second. The Augur is already of the highest rank. Posthumously, everyone receives the exclusive rank of the faded.
I meant whether a conditional Aristarkh could take the place of the deceased Augur and become a sage... Or what was meant here by "unique circumstances"?
