Conditions for Succession
If any of the following three conditions occur, the current emperor will be succeeded. Heirs will also change depending how the reigning emperor came to leave the throne.

Succession Procedures
If succession is required due to one of the above conditions, use the following steps to select a new emperor. Selecting an heir is an extremely important process in the game.

Story
The first emperor of Avalon, Leon, brings about succession by learning of the Inheritance ability from a seer. As Leon passes away, his abilities and experiences pass on to his son, Gerard, who uses this power to vanquish the first of the Seven Heroes, Kzinssie.

Following Gerard's actions, succession allows the story to proceed several hundred years from the initial point. Succession allows and also prevents certain events from occurring in the midst of the game.
