Appointment
The position of Emperor is hereditary, traditionally passed from parent to eldest child when the reigning Emperor dies or steps down. In order to prevent wars of succession between rival siblings, many Emperors designated their first born as Crown Prince or Princess while living, thus confirming their choice of successor. However, despite this clear designation, some heirs have not become Emperor due to intrigues within the royal house; Crown Prince Orion was passed over by his father in favor of his younger sister, Haleema.
