Empress [[Katherine II]] is the sovereign, and her heiress apparent is her eldest daughter, [[Katherine III|Autumn, Duchess of Wolf]]. Next in line after her is [[Princess Eloise]], the Empress' eldest granddaughter. Third in line is [[Princess Jacqueline]], the Empress' second eldest daughter. Fourth in line is [[Princess Victoria]], the Empress' third eldest daughter. Fifth in line is [[Prince Erik]], the Empress' youngest child. Sixth in line is [[Icelynn of Atmora|Queen Icelynn]], the Empress' younger twin sister.
 
The first four individuals in the line of succession who are over 21, and the sovereign's consort, may be appointed [[Counsellors of State of Atmora|Counsellors of State]]. Counsellors of State perform some of the sovereign's duties in the Atmoran Confederation while he or she is out of the country or temporarily incapacitated. Otherwise, individuals in the line of succession need not have specific legal or official roles.
 
Following the formation of the [[Atmora|Atmoran Confederation]] in 1812, both the Parliaments of [[Parliament of Atmora|Atmora]] and [[Parliament of Lieseltania|Lieseltania]] introduced {{wpl|absolute primogeniture}}, mean that the eldest child of the monarch, regardless of gender, is the first in the line of succession. The change entered into force on 5 May 1813, making Lieseltania and Atmora the first country to adopt absolute primogeniture.
