It's not at all to my knowledge. They introduced a unique concept of the genetic dynasty to represent Empire. Basically it is always ruled by 3 people: Dawn, Day and Dusk - all genetic clones of each other decanted at different times. When one ages up enough, they move up a level. When Day becomes Dusk, the current Dusk becomes "Darkness" and is killed - and a young Dusk is then decanted.
It's completely unique to the series but is one of the most fascinating parts of the show.
I think they are all decanted as infants and live naturally through dawn, day, and dusk. I think they are only decanted at different ages as a replacement for one that died.
I'll amend: decanted at different times.
That is one of my favorite apsects of the show.
Oh damn that's not in the books? Yeah it's a really cool concept, definitely makes the show stand out
