Round 1


Prince Harekur of Kazulia - 33
Prince Mrlkai of Vanuku - 24
Aelia Aedinia - 21
Prince Tigranes Gushar - 13
Shahzadeh Balash of Aldegar - 9


Shahzadeh Balash was knocked out in the first round, his campaign apparently crippled by the issue of his advanced age. A disappointed Prince Tigranes Gushar also withdrew from the competition, endorsing Prince Harekur. The top three candidates advanced to the next round.

Round 2


Prince Harekur of Kazulia - 46
Prince Mrlkai of Vanuku - 31
Aelia Aedinia - 23


Lady Aelia Aedinia was knocked out. She endorsed Prince Mrlkai, an endorsement with many of Prince Harekur's partisans denounced as "bought by Wiel" The campaign became strange as many public and personal attacks were levied on Prince Harekru, centering on his poor relationship with his father Arvid II. It turned out that the Prince had not left Kazulia of his own accord but rather due to his father's anger at his morganatic marriage which apparently led the old King to dispossess of his succession rights.

Round 5



Prince Mrlkai of Vanuku - 58
Prince Harekur of Kazulia - 42


As the gap widened somewhat in favour of Prince Mrlkai, Prince Harekur withdrew from the competition, leaving Prince Mrlkai of Vanuku as the only candidate. He was acclaimed the winner by the August Senate of the Cedar Throne and proclaimed Dux of Pontesi.
