Audalad Dynasty

The Audalad Dynasty was the succession of leaders of of the empire of Yimmu-Audal, the longest-reigning empire thus-far in Rahnir history, and is the current dynasty within it's successor state of Theios-Essukdal. Succession of the empire's leadership went smoothly, relying on legitimacy derived from being chosen by the Council of Elders, possessing the Crown of Yimmu-Audal, and controlling the throne in Urnu-Arrak; although this was thrown into slight disarray in Usurpation of Yimmu Audal.

After the formation of Theios-Essukdal, the Audalad Dynasty continued its rule, now justified as divine right passed originally down from Theios to StoryStudio through the Holy Golden Seabird, and from him to the first Chief Diplomat CRAZYCHAOSCALEB and all subsequent legitimate leaders of Yimmu-Audal and Theios-Essukdal, as determined by the lawful and un-coerced appointment of a ruler by their predecessor. The physical crown no longer plays any role in the ceremony of succession, and neither does the Council of Elders.
