Heir

Chosen to be the succeeding Pharaoh, should the current one pass on or step down. They are commonly chosen from the Pharaoh’s offspring, but this is not always the case. The Heir becomes Pharaoh when they attend their ascension ceremony.

Overview
The Heir is chosen to succeed the throne should the Pharaoh die or step down from their current position. This is usually done by chosen filiation, the title of Heir being given to one of the Pharaoh’s chosen children, but this is not always the case. An Heir can be chosen at any time throughout the Pharaoh’s life, and will ascend to the throne after the Pharaoh dies or steps down.

When the Heir is chosen they immediately begin shadowing the current Pharaoh in everything they do, in order to gain insight on the day-to-day life and tasks a ruler must attend to. Unlike the Emir, the Heir is granted some political power within the hierarchy, and are tasks with sitting in on specific meeting to tailor them to the ruling life. While they do hold sway within the court, they aren’t allowed to make direct decisions affecting it unless given permission to do so by the Pharaoh.

If the Pharaoh feels that the Heir is ready, they will be tasked with completing the necessary ceremonies — known as the Rite of Ascension — in preparation for their eventual Coronation. An Heir who fails to complete the rite will likely be rejected by their people, and won’t be allowed to ascend the throne.

Rank Notes

 * The Heir holds the title of “Royal (Heir/Heiress/Successor) of the lands”, and only lose this title when they inherit those of the Pharaoh, or rescind their claim to the throne.
 * If the Heir is not married yet when they are chosen, they will likely be placed into an arranged marriage with someone from a powerful High-Born Family.
