Chieftain
Appointment
The chieftain begins as an heir, chosen and mentored by the former chieftain as their successor. The heir ascends to become chieftain with the passing of the former chief, at which time they select their own heir. In the event that both the chieftain and the heir are killed, the historian and shaman appoint a new chieftain.
