Mysia utilizes male-preference primogeniture, with additional mechanisms allowing the reigning Sovereign to appoint his or her heir apparent under traditional Mysian law. Upon the ascension of Basileus Stephen I, Mysia entered a personal union with the Electorate of Nyrundy in Garima. This union was dissolved upon the death of Basileus George III, per an arrangement disclaiming the line of George's only son Archduke William and allowing his Mysian titles to pass to George's eldest daughter, Irene.

Additionally, the Sovereign may appoint his successor in certain instances, such as a lack of children from his primary marriage. As Vardanan customary law permits a man to have multiple wives, a Sovereign may appoint a son from a secondary wife as heir apparent if he lacks male issue from his primary wife; however, this eventuality has yet to occur. Generally, succession laws include the minimum requirements of adhering to Apostolic Christianity, legitimate birth, and Sovereign consent to marriages. At the two instances of the ascension of a female sovereign, her husband has become Basileus jure uxoris, however this is largely based in custom and not constitutionality. Per a 2017 declaration from Basileus Basil I, his eldest daughter, Zenobia, Despoina of Aretias, is heir to the Mysian throne unless the birth of a legitimate son displaces her.
