When the emperor dies, the eldest children of the five royal houses are typically called to compete for the title.

It is always the oldest child, the one who has been preparing for years to compete in the Trial. When the Emperor dies, the five royal houses of Etrusia attend the Call, where one of their own will be selected to compete for the throne. Who will win?
