Tragedy Befalls the Ottoman Royal Family!

Misery grips our proud Ottoman Sultanate as the news of our Sultan's sudden and unexpected death has reached the ears of our nation. The Sultan and his sons were visiting the fertile fields of Niksar, and were hiking the Canik Mountains in Samsun when an earthquake struck the province. The bodies of the Ottoman royals were found three days later, and sent the royal court into a frenzied panic. With the alteration of the Ottoman laws of royal succession, it would appear that the Sultan's eldest daughter is heir to the throne. She is a strong-willed and incredibly gifted woman, but many of the more conservative elements of our religious institutions might protest to having a woman sit atop the Ottoman throne.
