By the time the dignitaries arrived on the 28th around 6:30PM EST, Constantine had already succumbed to his condition at 6:44 PM EST, prior to their presence. According to sources, the first attendees were his wife, his son [[John, Prince of Kiev]] and the future [[Carolus XIII Vasa]]. The House of Vasa officially declared his passing at 7:11 PM EST on the same day by a press release in all Realms through Sarovia Pathe. Constantine IX's demise marked the end of an era in the empire's history, initiating a period of mourning and transition. His death left a significant void in the leadership and signaled a pivotal moment for the empire's future course. The funeral continues to be planned.

=== Titles and styles ===
Upon ascension to the throne, many Peers believed he would be "'''Carolus XIII'''", as his first name was Charles. Instead, he took the name of his most recent ancestor monarch.
Constantine IX has gone by many different titles and styles depending on the realms in which he was part of. In each of his realms, colonies and dominions, Constantine had a distinct title that follows a similar formula that includes the realm's title, such as King of Carolusburg, Philippia, etc. In his Sarovian style, all titles Constantine possessed within member states of the Sarovian Commonwealth were featured. Constantine had many more titles than that throughout his life, which were often "reduced" out of his official title and style into auxiliary positions to keep it much simpler. The Imperial Styles Act mandated that his title be:
<center> His Imperial, Royal, and Most Stefanic Majesty, by the Grace of Stefan, the Holy Graalian Emperor, King of the Sarovians and Emperor of the Sarovian Commonwealth, Grand King of the State, King of Reuss, of Nassau, of Philippia, of Metternau, of Carolusburg and of the Oxerians, Patriarch of the Vasas, Nassaus, Makos and Zors, and Defender of the Faith. </center> ▼

=== Coat of arms ===
Line 159:
=== Banners, flags and standards ===
Constantine IX used the various royal and imperial standards that are used to represent his various titles, both within and outside of the countries on foreign visits. The Imperial Standard of New Sarovia takes precedent over all others, and is to only be used when the Emperor is attending an event personally. This convention is followed for all other banners and standards as well based on his capacity: for example, Constantine attending a meeting as the King of Carolusburg would fly the Carodian Royal Standard rather than the Imperial Standard.

=== Cyphers and monograms ===
Constantine IX had a variety of monograms and cyphers, including some merged with his wife the Empress-Consort. On his 12th Stefanic year anniversary, however, he issued a decree to change said monogram, which stayed with him until his death. There are examples of Constantine's monogram with both the Imperial Crown and the St. Charles Crown. The monogram and cyphers were used in a variety of ways, including on the facades of buildings, buttons of soldier's uniforms, document headers, and more. The old cyphers from his early reign did not change despite the decree depending on jurisdiction, leading to some variety. The Dominions of Metternau and Philippia maintained the old monograms whereas the Remerra Saroviano, New Sarovia proper and the Dominion of Carolusburg reflected the new monogram of the Emperor.
