100%, we’re asking the player to rules lawyer and then these areas are unclear. In the expanded version it’s a very different puzzle since we’ve reshuffled stuff, and we’ll make sure there aren’t any question marks.

To share way I see it working in the Itch version, we’re not answering “would the crown have passed this way in a hypothetical world where Norveth had never invaded”. We’re answering, “who has both the true bloodline and also meets the requirements to become ruler right now, after Oreleth’s death”. There is some overlap though since the bloodline prioritizes the younger child, Morfal’s, line over Soleel’s due to the ultimogeniture rule.
However, it would be better if it was just a single question of applying the rules at every step. We just need to make sure that’s clear and not annoyingly fiddly to sort out.
Thank you for asking about this, it helped clarify for me what we need to clarify in the Steam version! 😁
