DECREE OF THE SINGULAR HEIR

 By the grace of the Moons and the wisdom of our ancestors, we, the ruling Gods and Goddesses of Orelia, hereby proclaim and establish the Decree of the Singular Heir. 

 Each ruling God or Goddess shall bear the right to produce a single heir, who shall be the rightful and sole successor to the throne of their respective court. No other child born to the ruling family shall be recognized as a legitimate claimant to the throne. 

 The heir shall be the firstborn child of the ruling God or Goddess. In the event that the firstborn is unable to assume the throne, succession can only be granted through the blessing of the Moons. Should the Moons bestow upon the ruling God or Goddess the opportunity to bear a second child, this child shall be recognized as the legitimate heir to the throne of their respective court.

 It is strictly forbidden for any ruling God or Goddess to acknowledge or bestow power upon more than one child. Any attempt to divide the throne or grant authority to multiple heirs shall be considered an act of treason against the realm of Orelia. 

 Should a second heir be born to the ruling family, their existence poses a grave threat to the stability of Orelia. As such, any second-born heir shall be sentenced to immediate death upon discovery. This measure ensures the preservation of the singular line of succession and eliminates potential challenges to the rightful heir's claim to the throne of their respective court 

 The recognized heir shall be afforded all the rights, protections, and privileges befitting their status as the future ruler of their respective court. Any threat to the life or well-being of the heir shall be treated as an attack on the very foundation of Orelia and shall be met with swift and severe consequences.

The consort chosen to aid in the fertility of the ruling Gods and Goddesses must be selected by the Moons themselves. No God or Goddess shall have the authority to choose their own consort, as this sacred role is bestowed only by the divine will of the Moons. The consort shall serve as a conduit for the Moons' blessing in the conception of the rightful heir.

 Upon the retirement, abdication, or untimely death of the ruling God or Goddess, the recognized heir shall ascend to the throne of their respective court and assume all the powers and responsibilities associated with their new position. The transition of power shall be overseen by the Sele Court to ensure a smooth and peaceful succession. 

Let it be known throughout the realm of Orelia that the Decree of the Singular Heir is a fundamental pillar of our society, essential for maintaining balance, order, and prosperity within our lands. The birth of a second heir without the blessing of the Moons represents a dire threat to this balance and must be dealt with swiftly and decisively. May the wisdom of this decree guide us, and may the Moons forever shine upon the rightful heirs of each ruling court.

Decreed on this day, by the sacred assembly of the Gods and Goddesses of Orelia and blessed by the Moons.
