Prince Vidorion Pelegon

• Partially through rite of conquest as the victor and leader of Vidorion's War
• Son of Virdia Pelegon and grandson of Pelgos I Pelegon

• By the election, Vidorion was an adult, was popular, had a strong reputation of justness, and had heirs
• Elected with an overwhelming majority of the votes

Prince Setherion Pelegon

• Oderion III's younger brother and legal heir

• As her brother's legal heir, he was the major frontrunner besides her uncle
• Setherion's claim was largely dismissed on account of his age to avoid a regency

Princess Bellia Pelegon

• Pelegon I's last surviving child

• Additionally, she was exceptionally far back in the line of succession due to her brother's descendants

Sir Gered Goodfellow

• Son of Bellia Pelegon
• One of two surviving grandchildren of Pelegon I

• Gered was considered a distant relation to the main branch of the Imperial family

• His half-brother, Jerichon Mannos, called his attempt "folly," destroying any credibility he had

Lord Jerichon Mannos

• Son of Bellia Pelegon
• One of two surviving grandchildren of Pelegon I

• His name was entered into the running against his will
• He called the attempt, and the attempt of his half-brother Gered, folly
