The Grecodar
This high ranking position was created to honor Craei Grecofoxas, who claimed power after the Magic Explosion. This position aims to remove threats of magic from Orie society. The Grecodar commonly works with Shaca's Elite Fighting Force to discuss magic seen during the 100-year war with the Claw Continent.
Show Spoiler
The 100-year war is one-sided. The Claw Continent believes that the war has been over for 95+ years and has all but forgotten about it. That said, magic forces have continued to attack the gates of Orie Country. Thousands of Ories have died while fighting to protect their home.
Requirements
The Grecodar is a lifetime position. In theory, the presiding ruler of Orie Country could take away this title; however, the power within the Order of the Grecodar makes this change highly unlikely. To become the next Grecodar, a person needs to have spent 20 years working in the Order and at least 10 of those years as a leader. Thus far, all past titleholders have included their choice for the next Grecodar within their will. The current Order leaders call for a vote and only once did not follow the Grecodar's wishes.
Appointment
Due to the secrecy involved with the Order of the Grecodar, there are typically two Appointment ceremonies. One held by Orie Country's presiding ruler, the other by the Order itself.
During the public ceremony, the ascending Grecodar is called upon by the ruler for a call and response. It is followed by a banquet and a ball. The whole affair drips with formality and the upper class.
The Order of the Grecodar's private ceremony eschews the pomp involved in the previous ceremony. The location and formality vary event to event. One appointment was held in a sewer while another was held in a church. Once the vote has been tallied, the Order of the Grecodar calls a meeting. At the ceremony, the Order's leaders call for the ascending Grecodar to rise and recite the Creed of Craei Grecofoxas. The ascendant is presented with the Grecodar's key.
Previous position holders include but are not limited to: Unin Ayios, Aclos Torsop, and Ocune Swean.
