As Emperor Reginald of the Scandinvan Empire aged into his 432 (115 physically) he had now chosen to pass the throne to his eldest son Prince Olaf as he had now grown weary of his centuries long rule of the Glorious Scandinvan Empire. Now he believed the time of his son had come as he had come to age in the reckoning of the long lived Imperial line and thus he was ripe for rule and was tradition the Emperor would yield the throne to his son and retire for time to live a quite life and then pass on out of this world of his own free will.
So now in the Imperial capital of Valgard the Emperor Reginald had called together all the leaders of the Empire’s many different groups and also all the leaders of the noble houses of the Empire. With this call all the people’s of the lands came forth to the Emperor’s call and brought with them great gifts to pay homage to their new lord’s ascension to the throne.
Now the ceremony began with Prince Olaf entering through the golden doors of the great Imperial throne room where at the end awaited his father, the Patriarch of the Scandinvans, and a number of other important person. Walking through the room on all of his sides stood the Knights of the Imperial house all dressed in their shining armor. Then he climbed the marble stairs to the top where he kneeled.
At the top his father, Emperor Reginald, said in High Valgardian,” My son you have progressed beyond all expectations in the field of war, wisdom, and knowledge. So now after your many accomplishments and your coming of age I now present to you with you the crown of the Emperors of the Scandinvans. So now my person here is your Emperor! May he long reign and be blessed as long as our house continues.”
Then the Catholic Patriarch of the Scandinvans came forward with the sword of the Emperors and said in Latin,” Now you have proven yourselves to be a devout, virtuous, and honorable person and for this I know knight you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost Emperor of the Scandinvans. So now go forth from here and be Emperor.”
Then Prince Olaf said in High Valgardian,” I pledge myself to the Empire, to maintain the dignity of the Emperors of old, I shall preserve the power and glory of the never ending Empire, through my hands I shall continue the labors of my fathers, to the end I shall dedicate myself to my people in the way as I see in my wisdom, through all I shall never submit to a foreign aggressor and destroy all enemies of the Empire, and to this I now shall keep my pledge to the best of my ability.”
Forward his father came and said,” Here is the scepter of our Empire and now it yours my son and may you never yield it until your son comes to the throne and is given it by you.”
Then both the Patriarch and the Emperor said in unison,” Now go forth to your throne your Imperial Majesty lord of all of the lands of the Empire.”
So then he went to sit on the throne which he did for a second and then he arose and said in High Valgardian,” I hereby am the Emperor of the Scandinvan Empire, High King of the Nine Kingdoms, Lord of Valgard, Master of all the Valgardians, Supreme Commander of the Scandinvan Imperial Legions, Liege to all the vassal states of the Empire, Emperor of the Northern Lands, King of the Islands of the East, Leader of Parliament, Chancellor of the House of Lords, Chief Magistrate of the Empire, Commander of all the Knight Orders of the Empire, Protector of the Scandinvan Catholic Church, Champion of the Catholic religion, King of Eti, heir to the Imperial line, bearer of the Imperial crown, the one who sits rightfully on the Imperial thrown, holder of the Scepter of the Scandinvan Empire, and wielder of the Blade of the Emperors.”
With all the ritual done Emperor Reginald retired to his throne while Emperor Olaf sat on the traditional platinum jeweled throne of the Emperors. So now all trumpets sounded as the people began to celebrate the reign of their new Emperor and the new standards were unfurled through the hall. Further all the people began to jeer,” Long live the new Emperor Olaf the IV, may his reign be great and a golden age for our people!”
