Succession is the inheritance of a [[title]]. It is triggered when the [[ruler|current holder]] of a title [[death|dies]] or [[abdication|abdicates]]. The order of succession depends on the title's [[succession law]]s. They also dictate how titles are shared between heirs, if the late ruler had multiple titles.
{{icon|heir}} An heir is any character who stands to inherit a title. If this includes the ruler’s primary title, they are considered to be their primary heir. Additionally, the player heir indicates with whom the player will continue upon death; unless they are of a different dynasty, this is the primary heir as well.
