Grand Temple of the Gods of Yellow Heaven, Rystal
KSNN-News For The People!
Inside the cavernous chambers of the Grand Temple of the Gods of Yellow Heaven, just outside of the Imperial City and the center of worship for the Holy Order of The Way of Peace the gathered nobles, ambassadors, well-to do commoners, and of course the tribe of children and grandchildren of the late Empress sat with bated breath.
At the Grand Alter of the Gods the Holy Praetor Ilista Ciyc Jerbon channted prayers to Yellow Heaven, specificly to the Emperors and Empresss who ascended to Yellow Heaven as Gods to watch over the Empire and aid the new Emperor in his reign. Behind her the massive Golden Diamond Throne, made from solid gold and encrusted with yellow and white diamonds, this massive throne had been used since the Four Thrones War when Empress Yolanda had killed or imprisoned her opponents after 20 years of fighting.
The Holy Praetors prayers reached cresendo, gongs were sounded, bells were rang and then censers poured out jasmine smoke for good luck. "May the Man who was chosen for the Throne come forth!" Ilista rang out in a youthfilled voice that seemed out of place for a woman of 70.
The 50ft gold doors opened to the sight of a thin, 30ish man with auburn hair and piercing blue eyes, dressed in the ceremonial yellow silk robes of Emperor. His wrists, fingers, neck, and his slippers were covered in precious stones. He walked flanked by the Royal Guard who were armed with silver swords and carried the new Emperor's crown and royal jewels. In a second group his wife Duchess Penelope walked with her own guards armed with bronze swords and carried the royal jewels of Empress.
The guards handed Ilista the Scepter of the Prophet, a simple oak walking stick used by the Prophet himself. "You may sit on the seat of your anscestors." Ilista intoned. Giusecchio then sat on the Golden Diamond Throne for the first time and it was as uncomfortable as it looked. "Take the Scepter of the Prophet as a token of Perfect Trust." Ilista chanted. She then took Giusecchio's new crown, stepped behind the Throne on a raised platform and held the crown above his head.
"Do you swear to rule the People with Benevolence?" Ilista asked the ritual questions.
"Yes."
"Do you swear upon your chance for Ascention to Yellow Heaven to respect the Imperial Senate?"
"Yes."
Do you swear to spread The Way of Peace to the Nations of the World?"
"Yes."
"Are you worthy to rule this Empire of Khallayne, named after the Prophet's wife your anscestor?"
"No, but by Yellow Heaven's will I shall be."
Ilista sat the crown upon Giusecchio's head.
"You are now His Blessed Majesty Empeor Giusecchio el'Von Rystal, Emperor of the Khallaynans, the Son of Heaven, Protector of the State, Defender of the Faith, Descendant of the Prophet, Ascendant to Yellow Heaven!" Ilista chanted, "May death fall upon His enemies, and May the People Love him!"
All across the Empire there was cheering.
A smaller ritual was prefored for Penelope which made her Empress Penelope, Beloved Mother of the Dynasty, Constort to the Son of Heaven and she sat on the smaller Consort's Chair which was made of Blue Marble, it was made more uncomfortable for Empress Penelope to sit on the Consorts Chair as she was 7 months pregnant.
Once the cheering died down the final ritual question was asked.
"What is the name of your Era?"
"The Era of The New Dawn!"
His Blessed Majesty Emperor Giusecchio III, Emperor of the Khallaynans, the Son of Heaven, Protector of the State, Defender of the Faith, Descendant of the Prophet, Ascendant to Yellow Heaven
