Another possibility: the Kaldwins were cousins to members of the previous dynasty. Then Emperor Euhorn could have been related to the previous ruling family, but only inherited because of the lack of heirs. Plus, the way Pendleton talks about acension, it sounds like they look for the closest living relative to pass the title to. I feel like this idea hits three birds with one stone.
