Who Will Succeed the Emperor's Throne?

꧁Who Will Succeed the Emperor's Throne?꧂ ╭── ⋅ ⋅ ── ༻ꕥ༺ ── ⋅ ⋅ ──╮ Long ago, a bloody civil war carved the old kingdom of Carpathia between the royal House of Vasilikos and the usurping House of Leontius. After years of bitter conflict and heavy losses on both sides, including the death of King Vasilikos, the feuding houses made peace through marriage between the oldest Vasilikos daughter and Leontius son, ushering an era of prosperity from the new capital of Tyrus. Thus, the newborn Empire quickly ascended from the ashes of the old world. Decades later, Emperor Leontius lay dying in his chambers, bedridden and enfeebled by old age, and the line of succession remains uncertain. Though legitimized by the Emperor, his eldest son is not the Empress’s child, while some believe her younger son would be a more worthy heir. Others still believe her eldest daughter should succeed the Emperor despite there being no precedent for a woman to inherit ahead of her male relatives. The nobility rush to choose sides and gain power in this shifting political landscape. Where will your allegiances lie? ─── ⋅ ⋅ ── ༻ꕥ༺ ── ⋅ ⋅ ─── "An unknowable creature is controlling me, the main character, through the discord system to succeed the Emperor!?" Hello, thank you for checking out our play-by-post roleplay inspired by rofan (romance fantasy) and otome isekai manhwa! What is all that, you may ask? It is a genre of story with romance, politics, and especially social politics. It's about nobility, succession, and power struggles. It's essentially Chinese court drama with a European coat of paint. We aim to replicate that in the roleplay setting where you can be your own FL or ML navigating the web of palace life and hopefully finding love along the way. ╰── ⋅ ⋅ ── ༻ꕥ༺ ── ⋅ ⋅ ──╯
