Sekiyan Goverment, Day 8

Who will take over running the government if the current head of state is incapacitated? How is this determined? Is there an heir apparent (either actual or political)? What happens if the heir is a minor?

If a ruler becomes sick and is expected to recover, the high chamberlain will serve as ruler while the rightfull ruler recovers. If a ruler dies or has to step down, the oldest child of the ruler (if the ruler has any) succeeds him/her. If the ruler has no children of ruling age (what this age is varies among the races), the head lord/lady in waiting will rule.

If the heir is a minor, the high chamberlain will serve as regent for the child until s/he is old enough to rule on his/her own.
