The Line of Succession to the Atmoran Throne is determined by descent. Under common law, the Crown is inherited by a sovereign's children or by a childless sovereign's nearest collateral line.
High Queen Katherine II is the sovereign, and her heiress presumptive is her daughter, Eloise, Crown Princess of Atmora. Next in line after her is The Princess Madeleine, the Empress' second daughter. Third in line is The Princess Danielle, the Empress' third daughter. Fourth in line is The Prince Adolf, the Empress' fourth eldest child. Fifth in line is The Prince Theodore, the Empress' fifth eldest child. Sixth in line is The Princess Emilia, the Empress' youngest daughter.
Following the formation of the Atmoran Empire in 1812, both the Parliaments of Atmora and Lieseltania introduced 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.

Current rules
Eligibility
According to the Act of Succession, only High Queen Darlene's legitimate descendants brought up in Atmora are presently entitled to succeed. A person loses his or her succession rights and deprives his or her descendants of their succession rights if he or she:
- is not brought up in the Atmoran Empire
- belongs to any religious faith
- marries without the consent of the Sovereign
- ascends the throne of another state by election, inheritance or marriage without the consent of the monarch and the Imperial Parliament
Anyone ineligible to succeed is treated as if they were "dead". That individual's descendants are not also disqualified, unless they are personally ineligible.
Treason
Under the Treason Act 1812 and the Treason (Lieseltania) Act 1703, it is treason to "endeavour to deprive or hinder any person who shall be the next in succession to the crown ... from succeeding ... to the imperial crown of this realm".
