Taridor Khiknizi spoke for house Tash Murkon and went on to say:

"While we acknowledge and respect the views of the other Royal Houses, this Royal House is strongly against the racial implications of allowing only True Amarr to decide the next championship.

The Empire was forged in our collective blood. We worship the one and only Lord God. It is by all our strengths that the Empire was made great, and it will be by all our strengths that it shall continue."

With the only Royal House yet to make its views known on the subject the Amarr News Service managed to arrange a short sitting with Yonis Ardishapur himself shortly after a meeting with Chamberlain Karsoth.

"The Lord God saw fit to create only one race of his Chosen. We are that race. While the lesser races follow God's word faithfully and loyally, as well they should, and while they have their place within the Empire, it is not for them to rise above their station. Decisions of this importance should be left to God's true Chosen, and none other.

House Ardishapur moves that the current Championships incarnation, a result of hasty reforms of the venerable institution of the selection of the Emperor, should be replaced with just that institution." ]]> http://community.eveonline.com/news.asp?a=single&nid=1425&tid=4 2007-04-23T14:07+00:00 CCP Ginger 1425 4 CCP: Roleplayed 49 Ardishapur Family Tash-Murkon Family Amarr Empire Succession debate rages on.
“House Sarum feels that the past open doors policy of ascension was patently ridiculous. We cannot and should not allow anyone but true Amarrians to decide the future of our glorious empire. It's no wonder that the last two chosen Emperors were such weaklings?

It is time for Amarrians to stand for Amarr, stop kowtowing to these heathen Empires and reclaim our glorious past. It is time to choose a new Emperor!”

When asked whether House Sarum would be naming its successor to Jamyl, the steward reminded all present that “House Sarum's business is just that, but you can be assured that all will happen as it should”

Upon hearing the steward's comments, Ariticio Kor-Azor, Heir of house Kor-Azor, took the opportunity to present his own views upon the subject:

“Oh, please. It is obvious to even the dumbest heathen who the next Emperor should be. The blathering of the other houses only postpones my own inevitable ascension. As for the Chamberlain, I am amazed he has even survived this long.

Concerning the Championships, I move that we abolish representation and have individual combat. Who would dare stand against me?!“

Across the Empire, the debate continues. ]]> http://community.eveonline.com/news.asp?a=single&nid=1409&tid=4 2007-04-03T13:26+00:00 CCP Ginger 1409 4 CCP: Roleplayed 49 Sarum Family Kor-Azor Family Heir speaks out on succession as debate continues
While no outright dissent has been aired on the issue, it is no secret that the people of the Empire are growing impatient with the wait for a new Emperor. In an announcement late last week, Uriam Kador endorsed the ongoing debate by making his opinions known publicly. Here is an excerpt from his statement:

"For too long has our Empire languished without an Emperor. It is due time that we, the Heirs, decide how the next Championships shall be held, lest we incur God’s wrath for our Chamberlain’s apparent lack of will to move forward."

"I move that the Championship not be fought in the barren byways of the infinite, but rather here on God’s earth, by those of pure flesh. We should look not to those who cheat death by shedding and donning bodies like discarded rags, for who can tell what happens to the soul through its endless leapfrogging from body to body?"

"We should look to true Amarrians, the chosen people of God, barren of the impurities of their spacebound kin."

Dr. Emuil Zalaveille, political analyst at the University of Caille and an expert on Amarrian affairs, regarded the speech as just the latest in a series of affronts to Chamberlain Dokuta Karsoth’s authority.

"His [the Chamberlain’s] position has been growing ever weaker in the last months," said Dr. Zalaveille. "With the murder investigation yielding no apparent answers and the Navy all but directly disobeying his commands to police the Bleak Lands, the addition of a royal Heir’s accusation of laxness in the matter of the succession comes as no surprise." ]]> http://community.eveonline.com/news.asp?a=single&nid=1404&tid=4 2007-03-27T17:01+00:00 CCP Ginger 1404 4 CCP: Roleplayed 49 Court Chamberlain Amarr Navy Kador Family Amarr Empire
