The Avtokrator in the Imperial Senate during the swearing-in-ceremony
Telos, Drahen - Crown Prince Valerii Quintilus II, has become Drahen's new Emperor, succeeding his much-revered late father Emperor Valerii Quintilus I. He accepted the throne in a televised ceremony following the offical invitation from parliament, formalizing his ascension.
Emperor Quintilius I, one of the Siora's longest-reign monarch's, died on 10 Zechyr, following a chest infection. The late-Emperor was widely seen as a pillar of stability during his reign, though he has been criticized for his open support of the Green party, which has been described by several opposition parties as having nationalist and populist tendencies.
The crown prince had been expected to become the next Emperor the day after his father's death, but Protasekretis Gallus Statius at the time said that he had asked to delay the official proclamation so he could mourn. Instead, the crown prince was coronated in a special ceremony one month after the death of the late Emperor, in the Imperial Senate building.
