Fellow Capsuleers of New Eden.

On 8.21.YC117, a Vigilant Tyrannos taskforce, consisting of no less than one-hundred deadly Drifter Battleships (or “Silverfish” or “Argo”, as some call them), suddenly and deliberately targeted Empress Jamyl I in the Avatar-class Titan “Seraph” outside of the Amarr Navy headquarters in Safizon, destroying the Titan and killing Empress Jamyl. This tragic attack has left the Amarr Empire without an Emperor or Empress; with today's announcement, we now know that the Empire will once again be hosting succession trials for the next Divine Ruler of the most powerful empire in New Eden.

The Heirs of the royal houses of Amarr are as follows:

Yonis Ardashipur, of House Ardashipur

Merimeth Sarum, of House Sarum

Uriam Kador, of House Kador

Aritcio Kor-Azor, of House Kor-Azor

Catiz Tash-Murkon, of House Tash-Murkon

Each heir holds tremendous power within the Empire, and each holds a rightful claim to the Amarr Throne, to be determined through the great Succession Trials of Amarr. These trials were last held in November of YC105, following the death of Emperor Heideran VII. During these trials, each Heir was represented by three noble capsuleers of their choosing; these warriors fought for their Heir honorably, leaving Doriam Kor-Azor as the victor of the Trials. Each other heir was then required to commit the ritual suicide, Shathol’Syn.

These were the last Trials held in the Empire; however, with yesterday's great tragedy, this championship of utmost importance may once again loom.

I come here today to announce and begin to gather support for the Kor-Azor Heir and current Imperial Chancellor, Aritcio Kor-Azor, as the next Emperor of the great and powerful Amarr Empire, should the Trials once again commence. Though I and many of my associates take a neutral position concerning politics, this issue is of utmost importance. The Amarr Empire is the most powerful entity in New Eden in terms of sheer numbers, and such a vast empire necessitates a just and righteous leader. Aritcio Kor-Azor represents the most open-armed, diplomatic, and just of the royal houses; following his dismemberment and regeneration, Aritcio, having been a prone to what can only be called evil tendencies, completely and absolutely shifted his alignment for the better. He became known as the champion of the common man, pushing for just treatment of slaves and heavy limitations on the previously expansive rights of Holders; what’s more, the House Kor-Azor is the most diplomatic and outreaching of the Houses, unwaveringly preferring negotiations to war, and engaging in trade with countless partners across the cluster. This does not downplay the house’s immense influence and strength, however, and only serves to strengthen its unique position.

In the last succession trials, the champion of each house was required to be True Amarr; his wingmen, on the other hand, were not bound by this requirement. I understand the great importance of the succession trials, and do indeed recognize my place (as, I assume, many would wish to chide me for stepping “beyond the bounds” of my position). However, I wish to say that I would consider it the greatest honor to be chosen to fight for Chancellor Kor-Azor as the next Emperor of the Amarr Empire. I recognize the near-zero likelihood of being chosen to receive the honor of participating in any way, and as such I hold no impure feelings toward any who strive for that same role. My only goal in this is to support Arictio Kor-Azor in his claim to the throne, and I deeply look forward to working with those of you who feel the same. Despite any alignments or neutralities I hold, I wish only for the continued unity and glory of the Empire.

May the Amarr Empire forever persist.

It is a great loss, the death of the Empress. For all people of New Eden. It is disturbing the power of the Drifter, their lack of communication and their adoption of our own tactics used to fight them evident in how they destroyed her Titan.

Their threat means there is no time to mourn and the Empire must have a new leader,

For this position I also support Imperial Chancellor, Aritcio Kor-Azor. I encourage all Matari, and those who would fly in the succession trials to learn of this man and his actions to better the lives of those below him. The Empress herself made him Imperial Chancellor and under both the lives of all those who are not privileged in the Empire was bettered. His subjects and the slaves who fall under the umbrella of his rule will tell you of this man and how he has helped them live better, more dignified lives. The treatment of those below who you have power of is the surest judge of character.

Slavery is not yet defeated, who rules over the Amarrian Empire matters greatly and Aritcio has proven that he sees Matari as human beings. Under him the lives of all those still trapped in the Empire will improve.

His past is dark and the fear of him returning to that is valid, but if his actions since cannot redeem the man then truly there is no hope for anyone who has made to better themselves.

I had assumed that Khanid was a listed participant, but I found that there's no proof that he will indeed be eligible; if he is announced as a possible candidate, I will surely list him. Until that time, I may leave it blank or list him as a "possoble" candidate.

VII, not IV.

What's an Heideran or III between friends?

My mistake, my mistake - I apologize, and the error has been mended.

I would like to place myself in the running for the title "Empress"....

I also put my support behind Lord Aritico Kor-Azor.

I failed..miserably I might add.
That was a really good line.

I am surprised, as I myself see House Kador as the most perspective in the current political situation.
