Dynasty

Originally, the Aureidai came from the first Fire Lord Aureus, who founded the Fire Realm. Aureus established the realm with the fire lord as head of state and government together, and ruled and reigned together.

Fire Lord Aureus established the Cult of Ar, the first Arlish realm to worship the Solar deity Ar instead of the Goddess of Light Arlia. The Fire Prince Aesus was the one who truly spread religion all across Arria. He married the Everqueen of Arria, the Matriarch of the Arlish realms. He staged a coup and overthrown the queen and established the primacy of the masculine. Arlia was renamed to Arria, though the demonym Arlish still stuck. Ar became the supreme god of the Arlish world. Aesus crowned himself as the first Phoenix King of Arria, and established the Kingdom of Arria.

During the decline of the Reman empire, Ar Aethas staged the second Realm War and overthrew the old empire and established the second imperium of the Arlish Empire. The heir apparent to the throne was titled the King of Reme. When Ar Aethas rule ended, the Imperial congress voted to constitutionalised the monarchy, and restyled the title of King of Reme to Prince Imperial, and the heirship was given to the eldest son and not appointed by the emperor. The Grand Chancellor was elected from the third estate of the commons. While the second estate of the lords elected the Grand Steward. The first estate elected amongst the three great religious leaders the position of Grand Principal. The three estates leaders served on the High Table, advising the emperor.

After the flight of the emperor Ar Aenar, the estates imperial voted to disallow Aenar’s heir to ascend the throne due to moral grounds. The Imperial house has lost its respect but by the laws of the empire, only an Aureidai can inherit the throne so the empire shall await a Prince worthy of the Phoenix crown.

The line of stewards began and awaiting the return of the emperor. Many Princes Imperial had went forward to claim the throne but all was rejected by the Grand Regent. Though the regent can deny the claims of the princes imperial, he cannot take the throne. The headship of the Imperial House was passed down to the current head, Prince Paul, who received the title of Prince Imperial by the laws of the Imperial House.
