The Royal Line of Succession: The Kingdom of Geldheim

Completed 1369 0 0 1983

The Royal and noble King Kelto the first has consented to me conducting an in-depth study into the line of succession, thus demonstrating his faith in his right to the crown and, as you will see, proving that faith to be well placed. Following are the results of extensive, thorough and lengthy study into every piece of evidence available today into our noble line of succession. It should be noted that one outstanding characteristic regarding succession that until now has not been widely known (or accepted in some circles it was known in the idea of a hereditary line (being of one familial bloodline) is a human error. The Gods select who will succeed the throne, whilst the children of a current monarch are accepted, if there is no “heir apparent” then likely candidates drink the tea of the “Monarch Rose” (an iridescent aqua coloured flower) and hopefully a monarch emerges.
  Tea of the Monarch Rose is a hallucinogenic that a small percentage of the population are immune (or appear to be) to the effects of. Whilst not generally fatal for those not immune, it can never be taken for granted, as some have died whilst under the effects. The logic goes as follows. All plants come from the Gods (and animals for that matter). The Gods gave us this particular plant for this very reason, to guide us to a new monarch. It has been recorded that the ceremony has been repeated on occasion as no candidate has succeeded on the first occasion.
