Coronation of the Northian monarch
The coronation of the Northian monarch is a series of ceremonies where, following the demise of the crown, the royal successor is proclaimed and inaugurated as the constitutional monarch of the Northern States. The coronation was a de facto transition of power under the auspices of the Congress of the States until 1580, when it was statutorily declared that the successor's reign began immediately following the death of the precedessor.
In modern times, the coronation typically takes place several months after the demise of the crown, as this event is hard to predict, and the premises of the coronation are not exclusive for this use. Preparations have usually taken several months since the 15th century due to the complexity of the ceremonies and the need for all necessary parties to be notified and assembled.
There are several parts of the coronation ceremony distributed over seven or eight days, depending on the schedule. The royal successor is introduced to the assembled Congress of the States and informed he or she is to be the monarch. Then, they are brought to the Valley of the Sun in the outskirts of Cleiden and caused to make oath while sitting on the altar, binding themself to the law of the land and never to quit its borders and inhabitants. After this, the monarch becomes the patron of several Ponθōiš Wiḥštō sacrifices. Priests then bless the new monarch's faculties, limbs, voice, and reign. They are then greeted by the leaders of the constituent states, who kiss the new monarch on the cheeks. The monarch then departs from the Valley of the Sun and is greeted by their retainers.
