Appointment
In Duryad, the role of Qyzhar/Qyzharah is hereditary. In accordance with ancient tradition the eldest child automatically assumes the throne once the previous reigning monarch dies or steps down.

The head of the Church of Bahamut, also known as the Acting Lord Grandmaster of the Valiant Justice, places the crown on the head of the new monarch and reads passages from scripture. In order to prevent wars of succession between rival siblings, many Qyzhar/Qyzharah's designated their first born as Crown Prince or Princess while living, thus confirming their choice of successor. However, despite this clear designation, some heirs have not become Qyzhar(ah) due to intrigues within the royal house; Crown Prince Orion was passed over by his father in favor of his younger sister, Haleema.
