Thanks again everyone, I've decided to pass on the honour to @Werther for their exciting CK3 narrative AAR of dynastic skullduggery, Crowns of the Levant!

Thank you again @Great Mantis and all those who have responded on this thread. It motivates me enormously to continue writing the last 10 chapters of Crowns of the Levant.
It was my two week break from the forum though, so I haven't read much lately and some of the authaars I thought of have already received this award in the last few months. I don't want to give the award without thinking about it. How much time do I have left?

Slumped on the throne of AARland, the fat emperor Werther II was devouring a chicken while crying out for a new jug of wine.
“Sire?" Councillor Coz1 tried to hide his deep disgust behind a thin smile. “Sire? It is time.”
“Time for what?" thundered the Emperor-for-a-week.
“To nominate a successor. You should have done this more than five days ago.”
“And why is that?" asked the Emperor-for-a-week-and-5-days. "I like it here! Why should I renounce my title? Crown Authority is absolute!”
“Sire, this is the tradition. AARland is an absolute cognatic elective monarchy."
Werther II looked at him in bewilderment. "What is this gibberish? You have spent far too much time in CK2, my good Coz1.”
“An equal elective monarchy," repeated the advisor in the CK3 dialect. “You must nominate a successor.”
“Absurd rule," grunted the fat emperor, but resignedly, he finally reached into the pile of AARs Coz1 was handing him. “Why not Duke Revan86? A wonderful authAAR!”
“Sire," sighed Coz1, "appointing a CK3 authAAR could be seen as nepotism by the other factions.”
“Jarl Dunaden, then, I've heard great things about his latest work!”
“He has already been crowned in the last 6 months," the advisor retorted. “And CK2 is in union with CK3…”
“Maester Branderburgian ? A promising authAAR who writes about dragons! The information highway has been talking about the Gesta of the House of the Dragon for weeks. It's the perfect time to highlight his work”
“Sire, AGOT is vassal of CK2."
The emperor frowned. Chewing his chicken leg, he tried to think, which made him look more foolish than usual.
"I know!" he cried. “Stellaris! A very strange kingdom, with its cosmological absurdities. Just think, a universe where the Earth is not at the centre!” The emperor laughed greedily, spitting bits of chicken at Councillor Coz1's tunic. “But their tales are very entertaining, with talking snails -miam- and pigeons driving flying carts! Have you read this fascinating story about automatons written by Primarch Von Acturus?"
Coz1 looked embarrassed. "Sire, far be it from me to insult your taste, but Field marshal El Pip may take umbrage. He is already shouting from the rooftops that CK3 and Stellaris are conspiring together to take over AARland.”
“Those HoI," the emperor grumbled. “Violent brutes who only dream about wars! What do they want? That I appoint one of their own? Don't they know I'm French? Why would I want to relive that traumatic period again and again?”
Werther II sulked for a while, but finally decided to propose a name: "Louis-Philippe II?”
“Victoria II, you mean?”
“Yes, this kingdom named after a descendant of the Bastard. But an interesting period. And they will soon have a new queen, so the timing is right. Prime Minister Zogludon has produced a fine work.”
“Sire, you have already awarded him a crown. The factions would revolt.”
“Never satisfied!” The emperor scratched his head. “And what about the consuls or the daimyos? What have they produced lately?”
“Nothing. Imperator and Sengoku are wastelands.” Coz1 cleared his throat. "May I suggest EU4, Sire?”
“I see you're preaching to your own choir, Coz1," replied the emperor mischievously. “But why not? I am also from there. A kingdom where the BBB reigns supreme and the English kill each other over flowers... I like that.”
“A name, Sire?”
"Yes," Werther II announced as he looked ruefully at the throne he was about to abandon.

And so I nominate Viceroy @SibCDC for his excellent AAR Two Idiots Discover America.There is a touch of humour, but only in small doses. The historical parts are very well written and exciting. The work on the illustrations is simply impressive.

Thank you so much! I love your speech! I'm truly honored to receive the baton from such a good writer.
Thank you for all the congratulations! I won't promise I'll have an abdication speech as impressive as Werther's, but I do hope I can at least entertain you all with my writing.
