Khan Nilhuma enthroned as the 11th Khan of Bianjie in a major celebration of the monarchy in the country
1 October 5701



Less than half a year after ascending to the throne following the abdication of this father, the former Age, Nilhuma, officially became the eleventh Khan of the Bianjie Khanate in a ceremony that transcends centuries, if not millennia, on the territories of what is now called Bianjie, with both the private and religious behind-the-doors ceremony, with faith leaders blessing the new monarch of the nation, and the Khan paying tribute to all the previous monarchs in a Golden Hall in the Orchid Palace.

As well as that, obviously, a more public and informal celebration ceremony was held in the Tanggūli Chamber, with various international guests from all over the world coming to visit the enthronement. Among them are the Premier Metok from Bianjie's southeastern neighbours, Xsampa, the Egelian imperial couple of Emperor Leon Alexander and Empress Isabella, alongside the High Councilor Formoselle y Castilla. Nadiya's Tsarina Maria II and presidential councilwoman Edda Wahl from Keris have followed, as well as the foreign minister Thomas Harney from the Seleyan country of Kalistan, and the imperial family of Empress Eleonora and Prince Concort Marco, attending the ceremony as Istalian representatives.

Following the public ceremony within the Orchid Palace complex, the newly inaugurated Khan took a road to the Absungkilha Square, the heart and the soul of Bianjie's capital city, Gemun, to witness the people's celebration, parade and dances, to celebrate the new monarch of the nation, with members of the Royal Guard marching across the square, followed by female drummers, humming the national anthem "Ode to the Khan", as the citizens have watched followed suit.

At the same time, the entire ceremony takes place at a moment when the Khanate Yuan has approved amendments to the Khanate Monarchy and Succession Act, which will now allow a female member of the royal family to ascend to the position of heir presumptive and thus the Khan, or rather the Hehehan, of Bianjie. The amendments follow the last push from Khan Emeritus Nurhaci, who expressed himself during the abdication address broadcast on television. Although not publicly stated, many have understood the move, other than a progressive change, to be a change for the only daughter of Khan Nilhuma, Tempin. With the amendments now approved by the legislature, Tempin sits as the only contender to become the official heir to the Salt Throne; however, as she is not 18-years-old yet, Khan Nilhuma is unable to officially proclaim Gungju Tempin as heir, but it is widely expected to happen in about two years.

The whole public part of today's enthronement ceremony was broadcast across all nationwide channels of the public broadcasting service, BHK, as required by the Public Broadcasting Act, with occasional breaks for news broadcasts. And later the same day, the BHK have released the statistics of the ceremony broadcast, showing that about 7 million Bianjians have watched the coverage at some point during the day, making it one of the most watched events this year for the BHK, alongside Khan Emeritus Nurhaci's abdication address, the final episode of Everburning Bridges and the celebrity special of the 10 out of 10.
