Proposal: Passing the Mantle

I humbly submit that the winner of each dynasty should be able to select an alternative ruler for the next dynasty if e so wishes.

In Rule 9, Victory and Ascension, insert the following paragraph between the second and third paragraphs:

At the winner's discretion, e may choose another active Disciple to be the Philosopher-King for the next dynasty. This is known as Passing the Mantle. If the selected Disciple agrees, then all rights and responsibilities of the Philosopher-King transfer to the selected Disciple. If the winner makes no mention of Passing the Mantle, it is assumed that the winner has decided to become the next Philosopher-King.
