CERULITE SUCCESSION LAW

Issued at Year 201 of the Second Age

---

 

With the current state of Lurin and my desire to keep Cerulia under the Anarion dynasty as an ancestral title to serve as a home throughout the ages.

THE ORIGIN OF THE TITLE

The Cerulite title had been founded by Mika Anarion under Lurin to peacefully retire with his family after having led various nations, groups, vassals and settlements for centuries. With the creation of Cerulia, peace finally came to Mika’s mind, able to once more fulfill his desire to create and envision instead of shepherding over folk who did not share his vision of balance with what he created becoming twisted from its original purpose of a state seeking excellence and serenity. Warnings of weakness and degeneration were ignored by the populace and so weariness and apathy took over to where the creation of the Cerulite title and abdication from the Lurinite throne became necessary. At first, a keep was built in the image of Lubba’s Keep, a vassal he led in Urguan on the coast and soon after a village followed, farms, livestock, festivities and constructs of both magic and stone for soldiers and workers to tend to his family’s needs. The future of this title is likely to no longer be within Mika’s hands with his absence becoming more noted as time passes and an heir has to be chosen.

 

TO INHERIT THE TITLE

This title is hereby declared dynastic, meaning that all of house Anarion may use the Cerulite title if they find themselves landed under a nation or are constructing an independent settlement that are in line with the requirements of landing this title.

 

If it were to happen that a title holder no longer desires to lead or ceases to be, then there is a simple line of succession established here:

1. Appointment
Appointment is the simplest of them all, which merely requires the current ruler to appoint the next, this may be done in advance, declaring the next heir.

2. Succession by Merit
If no heir had been appointed, an Anarion of age may step forward to take this spot through proving that they are capable of leading, requiring them to go through various tests.

3. Succession by Council
If no Anarion of age steps forward or if there are simply too many candidates, the council may convene to select the next heir for the Cerulite title with a 66% majority in votes.

4. Succession after regency

If all eligible candidates are below the age of 50, none may participate and a regent must be appointed by the council, which may be of any nature and will be assigned the title of “Steward of Cerulia” who shall hold the same powers as the ruler of Cerulia, though barred from making drastic changes such as inviting in foreign powers or changing fundamental laws of the Cerulite title. Once the first eligible Anarion comes of age, they shall rule Cerulia.

 

Failure to successfully pass down the title will result in the Cerulite title dissolving.
 

THE LANDING OF THE TITLE

The Cerulite title may only exist in a landed form either independent or as vassal and is required to not have any vassals of their own as that will deny it its purpose to serve the dynasty without advanced politics and diplomacy attached.

 

If it is found that the lands where the Cerulite title resides are conquered by a force not eligible to inherit the title, the title is dissolved and the lands associated will be freely given to those who have conquered it and claims to these lands are no longer valid for those who seek to reconquer it.

 

THE REPRESENTATION OF THE CERULITE TITLE

Humility shall come first.

 

A safe haven for all but the dark, twisted and immoral.

 

A bastion for those we serve.

 

To strive for excellence and serenity including morality.

 

Respect for fellow descendants.

ETERNAL WE MARCH
