Editing Imperial Knight House Creation Tables (section)

===Succession Laws===

|- 
! 1
| Gavelkind/Partible
| Titles and Knights are split between all eligible inheritors by lottery.  Roll a d2; on a 1, an inheritor cannot inherit a second inheritance until all inheritors have at least one, nor a third until all have at least 2, and so on; on a 2, they can (the lottery can return the same winner for every item, in theory).
|-
! 2
| Gerontocracy
| All titles and Knights are given to the eldest eligible inheritor, who may distribute them as necessary (hopefully they're not in diapers!).
|-
! 3
| Feudal Elective
| All eligible inheritors vote on who all titles and Knights are given to, who may distribute them as necessary (hopefully they're not in diapers!). Politicking is fierce!
|-
! 4
| Peerage
| Each title and Knight follows a distinct inheritance scheme; roll again for the type of inheritance that is used for each.
|-
! 5
| Free Knights
| There is no inheritance structure; when a Knight and title become "up for grabs", they are fought over until someone holds it by might makes right.
|-
! 6
| Unique
| The House has come up with its own, no-doubt incredibly convoluted, succession laws.

|- 
! 1
| Primogeniture
| Set of inheritors is children; only go to grandchildren if no children are alive.  Full line of succession (when age based) is eldest child > second eldest child > ... > eldest child's eldest child > eldest child's second eldest child > ... > eldest sibling > second eldest sibling > ... > eldest sibling's eldest child and so on, where children > siblings > aunts and uncles > great-aunts and great-uncles, always going "laterally" across a generation before going "down", despite going "down" initially from the deceased.
|-
! 2
| Absolute Primogeniture
| Set of inheritors is children, but a dead child's children inherit for them.  Full line of succession (when age based) is eldest child > eldest child's eldest child > eldest child's second eldest child > ... > second eldest child > second eldest child's eldest child > ... > eldest sibling > eldest sibling's eldest child and so on, where children > siblings > aunts and uncles > great-aunts and great-uncles, always going "down" a family line before going "laterally".
|-
! 3
| Seniority
| Set of inheritors is siblings first, always going "laterally" across a generation before going "down"; otherwise, follow primogeniture.  Order of succession is eldest sibling > second eldest sibling > ... > eldest child > second eldest child > ... > eldest child's eldest child > ... > eldest sibling's eldest child and so on.
|-
! 4
| Feudal Commune
| Set of inheritors is entire family.
|-
! 5
| Meritocracy
| Set of inheritors is entire family; in addition, there is some process by which non-family members can become eligible as inheritors, although their families do not, so the inheritance will always return to the family eventually (a deceased non-family member counts as both sibling and child to the family member they inherited their titles or Knights from, but their family does not).  Typical processes include being rewarded for doing extremely well in military service or being voted in by the family.
|-
! 6
| Tyranny
| The set of inheritors is always the current holder of the title to the Head of the Household; roll again for inheriting the Head of the Household title.  If you prefer, this can be any other title, although this will always inevitably eventually result in the owner of that title taking the Head of the Household title by force.
