==== Rules of Succession ====
Traditionally, the crown passes down to the eldest male heir of the ruling king upon his death.{{book ref|sa3|122}}{{cite}} However, this traditional line of succession can be overruled if the heir is deemed too young to serve as king in the contemporary political climate of the nation.{{book ref|sa3|122}} In such a case, the crown can pass to the sibling of the deceased king, to act as monarch until the heir comes of age or the political situation calms enough for them to be able to take the throne.{{book ref|sa3|122}}
A king can choose to grant the throne to another individual outside of their line of succession, as Elhokar briefly did to Lopen, making him the legitimate king for a short period of time.{{wob ref|1703}}{{book ref|sa2|87}}{{book ref|sa2|89}}
