Like all other positions among the Seekers, only Drakai may inherit the title of Exalted, and they must be in a high-ranking position within the cult as well.
Appointment
It's said that Kythoran himself alerts the inner circle of the Seekers when it's time to appoint a new Exalted, as well as selecting the new Exalted from among their ranks. This is followed by a brief ceremony where the previous holder of the title passes their rank on to their successor, followed by the new Exalted being presented to the rest of the Seekers.
Duties
It is the Exalted's duty to lead the Seekers of the Fallen Dragon in their quest to free their Draconic master, as well as to serve as an intermediary between the Seekers and Kythoran.
Responsibilities
As the Leader of the Seekers of the Fallen Dragon, as well as the representative of Kythoran, one of the key responsibilities of the Seeker is to share Kythorans commands with the rest of the cult. Outside of this, the Exalted spends the majority of their time within the inner sanctum, sharing news about thewider world with their Draconic master, and studying whatever knowledge the rest of the Seekers have recovered in search of a way to free him.
Benefits
The Exalted enjoys the absolute loyalty of the rest of the Seekers, including the inner circle, as well as being able to regularly hold audience with Kythoran himself. Additionally, the Exalted is said to be granted the ability to use Draconic Magic, including some of its rarest, most powerful techniques.

The Exalted wears a dark robe of regal appearance, as well as a well-crafted mask carved to resemble Kythorans face.
