The continuity is preserved if the successor makes a claim to the throne within 12 hours after the previous monarch's death. This also holds true in cases when the monarch steps down from the throne for other reasons.

The claim is made in front of the previous monarch's court and the elders of Mōrtoh. In the vast majority of cases being first is enough. However, if somehow two claims are made simultaneously or within a small amount of time,

The claim is made in front of the previous monarch's court and the elders of Mōrtoh. In the vast majority of cases being first is enough. Very rarely a conflict might happen between several Mōrtohs, for example if gole had a sibling and their Mōrtoh happened to make the claim first. Typically, this claim is discarded if there are no valid reasons as to why gole's own Mōrtoh should not be preferred. However, the claim will stand if no representative of gole's Mortoh is available at the time. An example of this is the ascension of [[Beejetoh Dolysoh]] who was secretly called in to [[Gaskal]] and when her brother was killed in a contest immediately made the claim to the throne. As Mosk-Sopoh had no spouse at the time and his daughter was not there, Beejetoh's claim was judged to be valid.

 

Any conflicts within a Mōrtoh are to be decided internally and Hogloh vy Aanua provides no procedures for this.

 

If, however, a successor cannot be produced within the first 12 hours, some of the ooron (lords, nobility) will make the claim. These ooron are specifically chosen by the gole to be in the Emmoh and cannot hold any office in the royal house. They are typically called Friends of the Gole, although this is more of a tranditional name and Hogloh vy Aanua doesn't call them that.

 

 

Emmoh is the pool of successors. It consists of any of the Mōrtoh of the members of the royal house, as well as Friends to the Gole, who are nobles from families especially close to the gole.
