Aretias utilizes male-preference primogeniture, with additional mechanisms allowing the reigning Sovereign to appoint his or her heir apparent under traditional Mysian law. Under the Kingdom of Mysia, local Aretian succession laws were strictly male-only, however the reign of Basilissa Irene I due to her claim to Mysia. Mysia Upon the ascension of Basileus Stephen I, Aretias entered a personal union with the Electorate of Nyrundy in Garima. This union was dissolved upon the death of Basileus George III, per an arrangement disclaiming the line of George's only son Archduke William and allowing his Aretian titles to pass to George's eldest daughter, Irene. Additionally, the Sovereign may appoint his successor in certain instances, such as a lack of children from his primary marriage. As Vardanan customary law permits a man to have multiple wives, a Sovereign may appoint a son from a secondary wife as heir apparent if he lacks male issue from his primary wife; however, this eventuallity has yet to occur. Generally, succession laws include the minimum requirements of adhering to Apostolic Christianity, legitimate birth, and Sovereign consent to marriages. At the two instances of the ascension of a female sovereign, her husband has become Basileus jure uxoris, however this is largely based in custom and not constitutionality. Per a 2016 declaration from Basileus Basil II, his only daughter, Zenobia, Despoina of Mysia, is heir to the Aretian throne unless the birth of a legitimate son displaces her.
