Heir Ceremony

The Heir Ceremony is celebrated when the eldest child of the Pharaoh, a Neb or Nebet and a Heritep reaches adulthood, by the age of 18 in most cases. That is when the Heir receives the Family Ring and prepares himself or herself to be the next representative of their family. Currently, the only families that follow this ceremony are: the Egyps, The Families from the Pharaoh's Court (including the Blackburns) and the nomarch families of Saturania.

Ritual
When the Heir becomes a Neb/Nebet, he/she puts their Family Ring in a box in the hands of a statue of the deity Hurun, protector of the Heir. Then, he/she locks it with a key and leaves it there until their eldest son/daughter reaches the age of 18 or older.

During the ceremony, only the family members are invited, except in the Heir Ceremony of the Royal Family. It takes place in the Ceremony Room, where the Hurun statue is located at its altar, wearing the attributes of the House.

The Neb/Nebet, wearing the family colors and shield, along with their Staff in case of being one of the six families of Hamunaptra, and more importantly, the key of the box, makes a speech about the House's future and starts the Oath. The Heir makes the Oath to his clan with his/her hand placed on the heart and when he/she is finished, the Neb/Nebet takes the key out of their collar and opens the box in the hands of Hurun, makes the blessing in His name to protect, and puts the Family Ring in the middle finger in the right hand (in the left hand if it is a woman), and the new Heir is born.

Oath
Here, in the presence of Hurun and all the Netjeru, I name thee my successor.

For thou art my blood,

my skin and my own flesh.

Thou, my first offspring, shall carry the future of our House in thy hands.

Thou, the new Heir, shall follow the steps of thy ancestors and respect them.

Thou, shall create thy own path to lead this clan, this family,

and protect them as they shall do with thee.

- Neb/Nebet

I, will follow every step,

climb every mountain,

fight against the past and the present.

I, shall respect every victory and every mistake.

Because I am the future of my clan itself.

My own blood by my command.

I shall represent them as my hand lays on my heart.

And in the presence of the great Hurun, my protector, and all the Netjeru,

I shall become the new Heir.

- Heir

The Oath in The Heir Ceremony is a reflection of the Oath that is sayed in the Neb Ceremony, Heritep Ceremony or Coronation with just a few words changing.

Creation
The legend says, the first Heir Ceremony was when Tutankhamun gave his eldest son, Ihy I, the Egyps Ring in the name of Hurun, and named him his succsessor for the Throne of Saturania in front of the Families of the Court. Since that moment, every royal family follows the ritual to fulfill ancient traditions. Then, a Ceremony Room with a giantic statue of Hurun was constructed in the Egyps Palace.

Every Castle and House has its own Ceremony Room, adorned with their attributes, and used only when The Heir Ceremony is celebrated.
