'''Succession Crisis (1852) and the Rise of Queen Rhea I(1853-1870)'''
'''Succession Crisis (1852) and the Rise of Queen Rhea I(1853-1870)'''


In December of 1851, Queen Catherine would die from a lung infection, long presumed to be cause by untreated pneumonia. King Eldras V would grieve her death ever day until he himself died. In February 1852, he ordered construction of a Statue in her honor.and it would be placed in the newly created Catherine square. However, Eldras V would not not live to see the end of construction because on March 5th, 1852, King Eldras V would end up passing leaving the Kingdom to his only child, Rhea. King Eldras V loved Rhea to the end of the Urth, and wanted to see her inherit. He had the succession laws changed so that she would be allowed to inherit, and he had each Lord sign a declaration legitimizing her right to reign. Unfortunately, Rhea was getting ready to be crowned and become the new ruler of Eastern Alksearia, Lord Xaen of House Interrious declared that there was an illegitimate heir to throne that Eldras birthed. He decreed that his nephew, Sir Vanos, was the true heir to the throne, and that Xaeon was going to press his nephew's claim to the throne. The Second War of Succession fired off with only two factions. By May of 1852, a third contender for the throne tried to press their claim to the throne: Lord Albertus of House Rivera. He claimed that he was a cousin of Rhea's because of a marriage 4 generations ago.

==Government==

'''Executive Authority'''

All executive authority rests in the Monarch. The current reigning Monarch is King Eldras IX of House Tuvania and his wife Queen Annia of House Searia. The Monarch has the authority to exercise the law the way they see fit. They are also technically above the law since the law is executed from the Crown. Under the 1975 decree The Executive Powers, the Monarch is allowed to establish as many seats as they want on the Council of Lords and to abolish any seats on the Council of Lords. The decree also gives the Monarch the authority to abolish the Council of Lords for any reason. The last time this was used was during the Council Gridlock of 2001 when Lord Alexander II of House Emeritus was appointed the new Lord Master, and the Council voted to remove Lord Alexander II for "undisclosed reasons." The gridlock was resolved when King Eldras IX abolished the Council, and then reassembled the Council of Lords in 2002 due to international tensions. King Eldras IX is also responsible for overseeing the Church of Xaethos, but this duty only occurs when new doctrine is introduced.


'''Legislative Authority'''

Legislative authority rests in the Monarch, but the Council of Lords (commonly referred to as the Council) may submit resolutions to the Monarch, and the Monarch may choose to decree them into law. As stated in the Executive Authority section, the Council of Lords serves at the leisure of the Monarch. Appointment to the Council is a lifelong appointment, or until either the Monarch revokes the appointment by abolishing the seat, or the Council is abolished. The last time the Council was abolished was 2001 when the Council tried to remove the new Lord Master Alexander II, but ended up in gridlock. King Eldras IX abolished the council, and kept it abolished until early 2002 when he started to appoint a new Council. The first member put on this new Council was Lord Alexander II, who by default was appointed as the Lord Master. The most recent seat added to the Council was in 2008 when King Eldras IX appointed Lord Kreonious of House Illyrias as Minister of Immigration and Citiizenship.
