Succession to the Aretian throne utilizes male-preference primogeniture. Additional mechanisms allowing the reigning monarch to appoint his or her heir apparent under traditional Vardanan law. Succession practices are primarily inherited from neighboring Perateia, which originally granted the Despotate of Aretias as an imperial appanage, and where the House of Byzennios derives is claim of succession. As such, succession in Aretias is based upon imperial house law originating from Perateia.
Eligibility
Dynastic law sets few base requirements to become monarch of adhering to Perateian Ecumenical Church, legitimate birth, and consent to marriages. Despite the traditional male-preference inheritance, the monarch may appoint his successor in certain instances, such as a lack of children from his primary marriage. According to historical Perateian practices, when a queen regnant is marriedher husband has become king jure uxoris, however this is largely based in custom and not constitutionality. Per a 2018 declaration from King Basil IV, his eldest daughter, Zenobia, Crown Princess of Aretias, is heir to the Aretian throne unless the birth of a legitimate son displaces her.
