As you know I have no son to take the throne and therefore no biological heir. Whoever next comes to the throne will be my heir in spirit, but this does not mean I shall be without say in the matter. I have been watching all of you in your service to Asylon and seeing who is most fit to carry the mantle of leadership. However, I have yet to chose an heir. Therefore nobles of Asylon, if you feel that you are deserving of the crown, then present yourself to me and tell me why you should take the crown. My eye shall be on each one of you in this coming month, and before it has ended one of you will be declared the heir to the throne.
Problem is it's difficult to enforce. Claims to the throne are often denounced when a new ruler is hailed.
There was a great deal of trouble in Irombrozia when the realm realized Valachi Stefanovic was next-in-line for the throne. He could have claimed it, but opted not to.
That was AWESOME. I wish he'd claimed the throne.
Irombrozia tried to do something like this, but it broadly failed. Link is here:http://wiki.battlemaster.org/wiki/Irombrozia/Royal_FamilyIt didn't work because Irombrozia wasn't very long-lived, and people didn't get as into it as I'd hoped.
