This is so interesting. How is a new king chosen? Is it hereditary? Or some other way? And how soon afterwards is the new king in place? And the chair/throne is that built for the new king especially?

Sort:  

The shrine specifically for kinship determines who rules. If someone who's not qualify rules, he died in few months, so it's a choice made by the idol.. though Christianity has come but that tradition is prevails. And the interval for appointment is decided by the elders

For the throne, I don't know much about that except that a king is buried along with it
