Moot
The Moot is not as important as the library data entry implies. While
the Moot does confirm emperors and high noble appointments, it did not act
to confirm those emperors who ascended by Right of Assassination. Imperial
Law is somewhat fuzzy on this point, and there exists in the Imperium no
body which has the actual power to decide the question of whether such emperors
were legitimate or not. The answer comes de facto rather than
de jure; that is, if an emperor succeeds in uniting the Imperium,
history recognizes him as a legitimate emperor. The Moot does not resist
the inevitable -- to do so would merely destroy the illusion that Moot confirmation
is required.
