The High Aristor can only be appointed by the ruling Council of Eight with a vote of seven or eight in favor. Immediately following a successful vote, the High Aristor will undergo the Volor ceremony.

Duties

The duty of the High Aristor is to better the empire by any means. Sometimes this can include judging how the Council of Eight should act upon important state matters when in a stalemate vote, to leading armies against powerful enemies, and most importantly seeking out traitors and conspirators that threaten the empire.

Responsibilities

When not pursuing a specific task, such as leading an army or pursuing a traitor, the High Aristor will spend their time in the capital. Attending council sessions is not mandatory, but is generally expected. Spending time sniffing out political intrigue and preventing it from becoming upheaval is how the High Aristor will spend most of their time.
