The Order of Succession to the Shirerithian throne is determined by the Charter.
- Upon the death, abdication or removal of the Kaiser, the throne passes to the legitimate issue, if already citizens of the Imperial Republic, of Our Lady the Radiant Sun Noor as-Salaam bint Daniyal Umra Suleiman Ayreon-Kalirion ibn al-Majeed al-Osman bin Sathrati Umm Zahir al-Din of Waffel-Paine (blessings and peace upon her memory), Kaiseress of Shireroth, with preference to elder siblings and their descendants over younger siblings and their descendants.
- In the event that the line of succession is extinguished, the Landsraad shall elect a Kaiser from among the Nobility of the Imperial Republic and provide for new rules of succession in accordance with Imperial law.
- ––Article IV, Section A, subsections 3 and 4.
Current order
1. Aldin (b. 1630, Noor's eldest living son) 2. Esther of Anglia (b. 1638, Noor's last surviving child)
Would the Kaiser have any legitimate children, they would rank higher than Aldin and Esther (who are children of Noor, so uncle and aunt of the Kaiser). Aldin and Esther's brother Villy renounced his citizenship when he became a loyal subject of the Kaiser in 1653. Therefore his children, should he have any, would not be allowed to be in the line. The position of Esther is furthermore controversial as her citizenship in Shireroth remains in doubt given that she has exiled herself to Stormark following the Auspicious Occasion.
