Audalad Dynasty

The Audalad Dynasty is succession of leaders within The Kingdom of Theios-Essukdal. The dynasty originated within The Empire of Yimmu-Audal, the oldest and longest-lasting empire thus-far in Rahnir history. Succession during the Yimmu-Audal imperial period 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. However, this was thrown into slight disarray in Usurpation of Yimmu Audal.

After the formation of Yimmu-Audal's successor state, The Kingdom 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.
