Heir Selection
Elective Succession
It is a type of Succession Law of a Monarchy, in which the new ruler is elected by the Nobility. Although every noble would be eligible to be elected, the electors prefer a member of the current dynasty for the position of monarch.
This Succession Law might have unintended repercussions for any of our current or future unions.
