Ivory Jack
Part of the Triumvirate of Power
"The ivory Jack is the military head of state.
His paleness is frightened by our enemies and deeply respected by our allies; Sir Peritl mended our brittle army into somewhat battle-hardened combat mages.
His influence is the sole reason, why Nemthi is still relevant in this dire time after getting overrun by Etherium and getting dragged into a senseless, and tiring war with Scorzosa.
The fate of Nemthi in such a hard time lasts entirely on a kobold's tiny shoulders . . . we are so doomed.

I should intervene, but my time hasn't arrived yet.Golden Joker
Requirements
The holder of this historical title has to be a male lizardkin, who got born with the excessively rare trait of being an Albino with spotless, smooth and pure scales.
Those born with such a rare and beautiful trait are considered splinter reincarnations bearing the might and rage of the Ivory Jack. One of the three heroes, who unified Nemthi 500 years ago starting the age of greatness. His tactical genius managed to prevent an escalation of war until his comrades-in-arms finally managed to negotiate the first peace treaty since a millennium.
The splinter reincarnations have to prove their military might in an all-out brawl. Only the strongest and smartest will survive the bloody ritual of unifying the many fragments of the Jack under the most worthy holder.

Benefits
After claiming this title, the survivor of the ritual inherits all the riches and estates of the previous jacks.
As the new jack is considered to be a part of the first owner, the Ivory jack himself, all ownerships and staff of his and his many reincarnations go rightfully to the new holder regardless of their former stand.
Accoutrements & Equipment
Due to the issues coming with the condition of albinism the formal dress of the Ivory Jack, consisting mostly out of body jewellery to show off the perfection of their corpus, is only desired to be worn in places, where no sun will be shining.
In the daytime, the Ivory jack will usually get accompanied by at least one Fumancer, who is tasked to block out the sun for the Jack by casting thick smoke between him and the sun for additional protection. This got especially necessary with the current Jack, who is neglecting to wear anything more than the formal outfit and that even in the brightest of daylights.

"Wearing THAT and subjugating myself to the sun?
I will never accept these terms!
Even if it means having to get my burnt skin restored by my clerics every night.
Such pain is neglectable compared to the immense pain my country is currently having.
I will remain the unwavering pale symbol of bravery until we will finally restore peace."Denton Peritl

Endless Rebirth
Just as the Silver King and the Bronze Queen the Ivory Jack was a hero in the reunification of Nemthi. The might of this imposing spotless Albino managed to subdue every military leader of the four countries that were once one.By following the ancient rituals of leadership, he rose in rank in every nation until eventually four armies led by the same individual had to face against.
The ivory Jack used his gain respect and military knowledge to bring that war to a standstill until his partners managed to get all leaders on the diplomatic table.
It was not until the war was over when the countries realised that they all already served under the same general.
The boldness, wisdom and might of his never left Nemthi, even after his prideless demise. Splinters of his eternal rage get reincarnated in those possessing smooth scales as pale as ivory. After the current Ivory Jack fell, fitting chosen splinters get gathered to participate in a ritualistic brawl to the death.
Only the most furious and ruthless will claim his birthright.
