Your first son is dead i see, so I guess the non dynastic heir is his son. IIRC, under primogeniture the sons of your firstborn are higher in the line of succession than your firstborns siblings. So if your firstborn has kids of another dynasty, they will take precedence over your other kids. This is not a bug but you failing to manage your dynasty it looks like.

The game starts you off with you oldest children being non-dynastic despite coming from a regular marriage and being your own flesh and blood. So yeah, so much for not buggy.
Well, that one's new, never seen that one before. Well, I guess it's just time to go murder happy on some kids then.
you should jot down who has the non-dynastic heir in the problems thread so they can fix it, unless it was meant to be that way for lore reasons.
It's those Norscan guys in the Border Princes region. They are all related to on another and that one norscan guy who's on that tiny island just below the Chaos Wastes.
I played the rightmost one in the one county minor.

yeah, confirmed it's working as intended. Going from elective gavelkind to primogeniture in one generation is the problem.
Considering you're merely seven years in and somehow ended up in Primogeniture, either you really gamed the system or started Primo.
If the first, it is not our fault that you didn't check your family before defaulting to Primogeniture.
If the latter, we will fix that one.
Edit: Quickly checked, you did start that way apparently. So it's on us, and should be remedied.

I believe they start in regular Gavelkind with the option to switch to Primogeniture right away.
Just checked, all the fjarmlanders in the border princes start with gavelkind but can choose primogeniture day one. it is how it should be
I merely checked in the game I had running, as the AI usually changes exactly none of the laws (or usually didn't, at least), so I wasn't sure.
So after becoming verchose I got +2 personal combat skill and a free kingdom-tier title.
Is there more to it?
Because I'll be stuck in open Elective with the most boring of the chaos religions, in which case I'll just reload the previous save.

The Everchosen system was broken by Horse Lords and was placeholder to begin with; when everyone was tribal it basically vassalized the Chaos Wastes but that doesn't work with nomads.
So I just captured Ariel as Vlad Von C . . . given that I can't vampirize her, and Athel Loren has already been swallowed by Sylvania, what does everyone suggest I do to her? Can Vampires use concubines -- I could do that possibly . . .
Eventually someone may care enough about Chaos to fix it, but the rest of us are either Dwarf/Lizardmen/Elves Fanboi's who hate the rest of the world 
Ritualistically sacrifice her to raise an undead army? When playing a necromancer leader I tend to stockpile prisoners for this reason.
When i play as a necrarch the first thing I do is buy a whole bunch of debutantes day one and imprison everyone in my court minus the one I'm gonna use as my apprentice. and then sacrafice and get all the undead i can and attack bretonnia or imperial reikland, or all the border princes if i am down there. Because, i mean, gotta have those test subjects you know
That still leaves you quite open to retaliation once the giant host crumbles and you're left with what Experimental waste you scrounged together.
I have a few questions that came up last week:
- How do you grow an independent Druchii Kingdom when you basically can't tax your own vassals and only call them into a war, not raise the levies ? It's kind of anoying once you get big. And the problem with human vassals is basically, you get max lev/tax but they hate you all the time, which lets to constant revolts and a lockdown in succesion law chances and other laws. How do you manage 20-30 counties + ?
(Also it is nice, that, if you hold regions with other cultures, you get your own cultures castle but without the elven reduction in manpower, which can lead to gigantic amounts of heavy infantry. This feels kind of overpowered.).
- is there a way to get the WitchKing government ? (because that feels to be the only way to rule really huge druchii realms )
- Concerning the empire: Compared with Ulthuan, the Empire seems to be a very powerful region, because it has insane good average holds per duchie. I can print credits if i play within the empire while I really struggle outside. Is the the way it is supposed to be ? Also what is the deal with electors' artifacts ? They way I understand it is, that they are bound to the title, but you only get the artifact, if you hold the title as the primary title (so no viceroy). Is that correct ?
- Is there any point in building castles as Ulthuan and building cities as Druchii ?
- Is there a reason for pointing out in numerous government forms (namely highborn_government, lizardmen_government) that you can raid, when the raid is then forbidden because the ruler can't raid, although he is a perfectly normal example (e.g. race, religion is correct) of the government form ?

well that is why you use all your subjects to make eternal servants
after just two wars I have about 15k troops that won't disappear. the key is that early game tyranny and then kicking bretonnia while they are down and don't realize you just have light infantry/undead.
