In this extraordinary succession process, contenders can step forward and present their claim to the crown. Should their request go uncontested, the aspiring fae assumes the mantle of the Queen, inheriting not only the vast powers but also the well-guarded secrets and ancient knowledge held by her predecessor. Astonishingly, even a diminutive pixie can assert her right to the title, demonstrating the remarkable egalitarian nature of fae society.
As the new Queen ascends to her esteemed position, a captivating transformation occurs. The essence of her predecessor permeates her being, compelling her to assume the very visage and form of the previous Queen. This mystifying metamorphosis imparts an ethereal longevity to the Queen's reign; to the untrained eye, it appears as though the same immortal ruler continues to guide the fae realm. However, beneath the regal facade, the true identity and individuality of each Queen may vary, shrouding the realm in an enchanting tapestry of hidden personas.

Fae Contest

When the time comes for the selection of a new Queen of the Fae, the realm of the Summer Court occasionally finds itself in a state of delightful chaos and fervent competition. In the rare instance when multiple candidates step forward, each with a burning desire to claim the coveted title, a grand event known as the Fae Contest ensues.
The Fae Contest is a spectacle that captures the attention of the entire Summer Court as well as curious onlookers from across the fae realm. It is a grand gathering of beauty, magic, and skill, where the aspiring contenders showcase their unique talents and vie for the favour of the court and the hearts of the fae. The contest encompasses various trials, tests of wit, displays of enchantment, and demonstrations of leadership.
Under the watchful eyes of the esteemed elders and courtiers, the candidates are put to the ultimate tests of courage, wisdom, and charisma. They must navigate treacherous mystical labyrinths, solve intricate riddles, and engage in thrilling magical duels, all while captivating the hearts and minds of the Summer Court. It is a battle of both brawn and intellect, a competition where prowess in magic and diplomacy go hand in hand.
As the contest unfolds, the Summer Court eagerly awaits the emergence of a frontrunner - the one who captures the essence of the fae realm and embodies the ideals of the court. The Council of Elders leads the courtiers in a process of elimination and a careful evaluation of each candidate's merits before they debate and cast their votes. It is a decision of immense weight, as the chosen Queen will shape the future of the Summer Court and guide the fae realm through times of joy and adversity.

In the event of a tie or a closely contested outcome, the fae tradition dictates that a period of reflection and negotiation ensue. The candidates are given the opportunity to present their case before the court, engaging in spirited debates and diplomatic discourse. The courtiers, acting as mediators, seek common ground and forge alliances, aiming to find a harmonious resolution that upholds the principles of the Summer Court.
Ultimately, a consensus must be reached, whether through compromise, an agreement for shared rule, or even a ceremonial duel to determine the victor. The Summer Court understands the importance of unity and stability, and so, despite the intense competition, the candidates are encouraged to find common purpose and forge bonds that will strengthen the realm.
The culmination of the Fae Contest is a moment of anticipation and revelation as the courtiers unveil the name of the newly crowned Queen of the Fae. The chosen one, adorned with the regal mantle and radiating the wisdom and grace of her predecessors, steps forward to accept the mantle of leadership and embark on a journey that will shape the destiny of the Summer Court and the fae realm.

Transition

The Fae Queen bears the timeless name, Titania. Whenever a fae ascends to the throne, she assumes the appearance and identity of Titania, embracing the weight of this noble role and inheriting the wisdom of her predecessor. Close companions of the former queen or those who have witnessed the transition may perceive subtle nuances in certain aspects of the new queen's demeanor, hinting at the individuality that lies beneath the regal facade.
