[!] Pamphlets bearing the Imperial Seal with a royal order are distributed throughout the realm and beyond.
REGARDING THE LINE OF SUCCESSION.
By Imperial Decree published openly on Wineday the Third of Godsnight, 1556, Prinz Wilhelm Sigismund von Lichtenfelts has been removed as Prinz-elect for Imperial elections after the passing of His Imperial Majesty, Diederick-Göbel von Lichtenfelts. The titles, inherited lands, power, and rights attached to the Krönfurst's post are with immediate effect transmitted to now Krönfurst Karl Severin von Lichtenfelts.
This decision is made with heavy heart, however, with recent developments around the young Prinz and the rejection of his chosen path of redemption, the souring of diplomatic ties with world powers, and his previous attempt to seek to overthrow me, attempting to deny the Kaiser his right to rule and seek power for himself, bypassing the vote, he is deemed unfit to govern anything more but a Markgrafdom in the furthest northern reaches of the realm. And now, the order has officially passed.
I ask each and every noble house of the Krönlanden to come to the Imperial Palace at an upcoming to-be-determined date to swear loyalty to the new heir and Prinz Elect of the Krönlanden and for other nobles from far and wide, abroad and in the realm to come meet the upcoming ruler of the Empire.
Signed,
