Since Eve started in 2003 there have been two leaders of the Amarr Empire. Each of their periods of rule have been followed by periods of time where the Empire has not had a head of state.
Emperor Heideran VII ruled from launch day (6th May 2003 or thereabouts) until his death on 17th September 2003 - a total of one hundred and twenty-eight days.
His successor, Doriam II was crowned on the 29th November 2003 - seventy-two days later.
Unfortunately, Doriam II was assassinated on 5th July 2005, and so his rule lasted for five hundred and eighty-four days.
Since his assassination, five hundred and eighty-nine days have passed. That's right, the Empire has been without a head of state for longer the reign of the previous incumbent.
To make matters worse, we've still not heard a sausage about the rules of succession for the next Emperor, there's been no news on the hunt for the assassin for well over a year, and no news on who the new Sarum heir will be since Jamyl Sarum's pod went pop on 29th November 2003.
Pull your socks up, CCP, some of us are starting to think that maybe you don't care about the backstory.

As long as God's chosen one (der Wahrhaftige) is still alive there can't be a legitimate new one beside Him. Khanid II is still alive.

That didn't stop them putting Doriam II on the throne within seventy-two days.

Wow I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers that campaign. Funny times :)
With regards to the OP, hopefully we can get some clarification from CCP on this. Is advancing the Amarr Storyline the job of volunteers or content developers at CCP? We all know Aurora is understaffed, but at this point I am certain that even the Amarr RP community would be happy with a simple news announcement regarding the new emperor and Sarum heir (please let it be another hot chick) without all the effort of a grand event. Hopefully CCP can quickly plug this hole and move on. Also, lets not forget about Midular either, I'm sure there is a bullet with her name on it! ----

Doriam was a false Emperor not chosen by God who came to power because of a gallentean influenced succession. God showed no mercy and punished him.
The Amarr Empire slowly realizes that it would be its downfall if they would continue with this blasphemy. That's why you will not see a new Emperor soon. Let's not forget the incompetent Heideran who lost the wars against Khanid, the Jove, even against the primitive minmatar rebels. Once the Empire eradicates all bad influence from Heideran such as the foolish Pax Amarria or the non true amarrian Tash-Murkon family, then we might see God deliver Khanid II from his heavy burden. Then we Amarr might be worthy getting a new Emperor and a new glorious future for a united Amarr Empire.

Knowing the speed at which CCP work though, by the time that happens, Khanid will be dead.

You slowly start to realize that Khanid must be dead before a new Emperor can be chosen.

Except of course that CCP don't seem to care any more about writing stuff about any of the major NPCs in Eve - so they won't be killing off Khanid any time soon.

According to the latest or one of the latest dev blogs there will be plenty stuff coming soon. I admit factional warfare, and therefore the stories surrounding FW, are on hold because of obvious reasons. I also admit I have heard the word 'soon' more than once before. Nevertheless the long time without an Emperor makes perfect sense from my point of view.

And what about the long time without a Sarum heir? What about the long time without any news on Insorum? What about the long time without anyone bothering to investigate the circumstances surrounding Doriam's death?

Prime fiction (the major plot lines) has always been tightly controlled by CCP directly, Aurora operate under some sort of restrictions on how far reaching their stories can be.
The Tetrimon was probably the major exception to date, it was the Aurora flagship project. I seriously doubt that Aurora would be allowed to spear head the next Amarr ascension but they would probably be enlisted to support.
Would be nice to see some developments on this, its been silent a long time.

Hmm,
Question you should ask is why any party in the Amarr Empire at the moment would want a new Emporer?

Presumably the answer would be same now as it was when Heideran died.

Things are never as simple as they seem. Im not going to spell it out to you, as that would ruin the future arcs we are going to run, but if you think about things objectively you can come to realize some possible truths here.
I mean, if I was Amarr, Id be wondering why I hadnt heard anything from my goverment on this issue. I really would.

Because their direct phone line to god via his worldly body has been disembodied and service cut? As a Minimatar thoughts like these keep me up at night.

Thanks for the responses Ginger, even if they are a little vague.
My big concern here though is that now that FW has been shunted back to Kali 3, does that mean that we'll have to wait even longer for these things to be resolved?

Nope, thats what hes asking me. And all I can say is that the reason there isn't an Emperor at this present time has nothing to do with us not having the time or inclination to put one in.

I think we all agree that a lot of arcs need an end.
Other arcs can and should be open ended. The insorium arc is one of those who could reappear in 2 years.
I do have a somewhat new theory about what's going on inside house Sarum but that's one of those conspiracy theories...
Investigation of Doriam's death? Who cares? I am glad he is gone. I think most Holders within the Amarr Empire share this opinion.

Well I could of course, tell you all our plans for the future, but im afraid that might ruin .. well everything.
And no, I discussed this issue with Gnauton the other day and FW being shunted back has had no impact on our projected plans event wise.

Fair enough, but the problem is that people will have a hard time believing that even with their tinfoil hats on. I think the gist of it is that for most of us the Eve universe seems frozen, at least unless something is specifically happening on the event front. For example, while the Republic feels like it is buzzing with activity at the moment, we don't really see anything happening in the Empire - no factions seem to be using the emperor's absence to their advantage, no-one is wheeling'n'dealing ..
No doubt all that is indeed happening somewhere in there and no, before you say it, just saying that it's not happening out in the open where we could see it isn't good enough. Even if the actual intrigues are hidden, there should be ripple effects and small hints everywhere. So, I'm not often one for moaning without a little in the way of encouragement or advice. I think what would help would be a more steady stream of news articles from all the empires, featuring just really small tid-bits relating to some extant or upcoming plotlines. They could really be small, one paragraph type stuff. That does not represent a huge amount of work and would do wonders for making the empires feel alive, rather than static.

I realize people will have a hard time believing it but im afraid theres little I can do about that at the moment. Hopefully people will come to realize that these things are now planned and executed in time.
And we havent forgotten about the Amarr, dont you worry. Anyone read the latest chronicle by the way?

Is Ginger suggesting that the Amarr don't want a new emperor? Why, do the houses want to form their own kingdoms like Khanid? Or have they come to their senses and realized the error of their ways? ------------------- |

Is that a clue?
Or are you checking to see if anyone's noticed the bit about the Privy Council consisting of the five heirs, when elsewhere in the PF it says that it has fifteen members?

I think people are mostly thinking that the Amarr Emperor has gone the same way as the Gallente President- hear nothing about it for years, then it gets concluded with little ado (and a barely disguised "sorry that took so long" in the RP news announcement). I've been playing since October 2005, and I've never seen a major prime fiction event, like I'm told used to happen back in the days of presidential candidates and imperial championships. 'Tis a bit sad, really. --------
