Knights of Tezoth

There's this point that the throne had already been passed first to Koymaji, and then to Mariarnelia. Additionally, there is this passage:

The system of succession established by Eidos the Iron gave preference to those relatives of the ruler who were in their prime - thus, the elderly were excluded, and the very young were avoided until there was no alternative.

That is, Maria-Tenerezza and Carnea have more rights to the throne, following such practices, than Renavan does. And that's assuming he can somehow prove the truth of his identity. In a setting where even good mages have disguise spells, this could be quite difficult. Especially in the context that the current Renavan is a mage, while the previous one was not known for such talents.

Does such a system still apply after the aristocratic coup? I thought at some point the lords were appointing their puppets. And did Renavan himself officially designate Koymik as his heir before the pseudo-drowning?

How much you want the Sith to win, so that you'd be on the shelf not under Carnea, but under Luciferia.

I want **** to win, but I won't write who, so that Reven doesn't scrap such a storyline right away.
