Coronation of the Emperor
The coronation of the Emperor of Birodalom, also known as The Empire is a very complicated traditional ceremony that is deeply rooted in beliefs that date back to the First Wolf Palatinate. The coronation involves each of the races of the Empire pledging their allegiance to the Emperor and their investment in a variety of regalia. The end of a coronation which involves the bestowment of the blessing of the Dózse, the leader of the Imperial Faith and the passing of the crown by the Court of Omens to the Emperor. The inbetween of the death of the preceding monarch and the coronation causes legal pausality.
The planning of the coronation takes place during legal pausality, which is often two months. During this time, the Court of Omens is placed in control of the Empire as a council. The Court of Omens assembles a committee of senators that will plan out the coronation during this time. Coronation will take place over the span of seven days, which requires extensive planning. The first part involves celebration. The new Emperor visits each of the Imperial Vidékek in a day of celebration. Starting out from the Imperial Central and going from there into the Imperial South, the Imperial East, the Imperial North and ending the celebration into the Imperial West. These days of celebration end when the Apostolic Presbyter of that Vidék blesses the to-be Emperor with the right-to-rule over their Vidék within the Vidék Basilica.
The second part of the coronation begins with the travel from the Imperial West back into the Imperial Central. There, the rest of the coronation takes place the following day within the Basilica of Kossuth. The ceremony of the coronation is attended by all close family members of the to-be Emperor with good standing. Apostolic Presbyters will also attend as well as a variety of nobility, government and military workers and clergy members of the Imperial Faith.
Coronations have historically followed basic tradition that was set up by the First Wolf Palatinate. The act of visiting each of the Vidékek was also part of the Appointment of the Palatine during both the First and Second Wolf Palatinate. However, the blessing of members of the Imperial Faith and passing the crown from the Court of Omens only became tradition during the Unification Era. Coronations vary minorly in what is considered celebration depending on the tribe to which the Emperor belongs to. In accordance with the Imperial Succession Act of 1121, the Court of Omens, made up of seven of the most powerful noble families, will elect a new family from a different tribe to lead them every century. This, in turn, influences the cultural aspects of the celebratory parts.
