Prince Jarolar had two sons - Jarosar and Rastoron. Rastoron was the elder but Jarosar became Prince.

Likewise Jarosar had two children. One of them was male - Jarnandar - but upon Jarosar's death, his cousin Tarkalor became Prince.

Prince Tesarin had two sons, Loricon and Darnangle. Yet on his death, the crown is awarded to a distant cousin, Salinarg.

Hence whatever the Sartarites had, it sure wasn't primogeniture.
