Why were there civil wars over the succession? I got the impression that there was a dynasty of long standing. Wasn't there a clear succession law? Or did it die out like the Julio-Claudians, Flavians, Severans, etc. and no one could establish a new one?

<hr><i>Mark responds:
<p>I don't know enough about the Empire to say for sure; in Verdurian
history, there was not the near-inevitable acceptance of inheritance
that we find in, say, England, whose dynasties have all been related
to some degree or another, back to William. (And yet, note how many
wars the English succession engendered. Inheritance doesn't prevent
all problems of succession...)
In theory the Verdurian monarch was the choice of the nobles, though
most of the time the monarchy was inherited anyway.
