In the Third Age, he's appointed by the Lunars. But how did succession work in the Second Age? According to Fortunate Succession, Carmandar succeeds his half-brother. Ammas succeeds his uncle. Saman succeeds his cousin. Is there a rule, or is there political maneuvering among the regal family?

And there seems to be a delay in most of the accessions (e.g. Surandar reigns until 812, his son Carshandar gains the throne in 813). Is this because of the political maneuvering, or for ritual reasons?
