Heir
From the Lyorn Records of the Dragaeran Empire
In the Dragaeran Empire, the Heir is the next person in each House who would take the throne if the cycle turned. An Heir is given the title of "Prince" or "Princess".
The Heir is also one of those who represent the House in the Imperial government (see also Council of Princes).
Heirs are presumably appointed by the ruling Council or other governing body of each house; they can be removed from their posts, and later reinstated, depending on inter-House politics. The Dragon Council appears to select Heirs by first determining an appropriate lineage and then choosing the most senior person from that lineage, but the mechanisms used by other Houses are not known.
