On 17 September 2018, after four months of regency, King James announced his intention to abdicate the throne. The instrument of abdication was signed that day and took effect on 1 October. At noon on that day, the Prince Royal ascended the throne as King Edward. Sconnish citizens generally lauded the transfer of power and celebrated the new king. During the reign of the new king, he continued his work with the college of Tartannac; an institution he created when he first joined the kingdom, having a keen interest in heraldry and vexillology. He also introduced two new orders of chivalry into Scone: The Most Honourable order of the Glennish Empire and The Most Noble Order of the Baronial Eagle. | On 17 September 2018, after four months of regency, King James announced his intention to abdicate the throne.

King Edward's reign overall was generally uneventful. This was primarily due to the fact he had resolved himself to govern in a manner that consisted primarily of quietly working in the background, after receiving feedback that the former king was too present and involved. However, his rule was marked by some internal turmoil among the Sconnish nobles and members of parliament which King Edward was able to help resolve, as peacemaker.

This was primarily due to the fact he had resolved himself to govern in a manner that consisted primarily of quietly working in the background, after receiving feedback that the former king was too present and involved. However, his rule was marked by some internal turmoil among the Sconnish nobles and members of parliament which King Edward was able to help resolve, as peacemaker. While some observers commented that the stability of Scone seemed to have depended upon the majesty and authority of King James, there are those who acknowledge that the situation was far more complex than that reading of the two reigns would suggest. Ultimately, the reign of King Edward came to an end on 5 March 2020 after less than two years on the throne. | ||
