High King of Kaldaria

Qualifications

The vassalization of The Kaldari Highlands was legalized through a complex layer of feudal contracts that saw the descendants of Garrond Lesnik, Kaldari Founding Father sworn to the obedience and servitude of the descendants of the Rodnoy Kzars.
This powerful agreement ensured the highest authority in the land would always pass, without conflict or dispute, to the eldest living male heir within a direct line of inheritance from Garrond himself.

Appointment

Following the death of the previous holder of this title, should the heir be at least twenty-five years old they are crowned by The First Patriarch in Kaldross, Kaldari Capital City. 
In the event the heir has not yet reached twenty-five years of age at the time of crowning, a regent is appointed (typically by the deceased king prior to his death) that serves as the legal authority and guardian for the prince-heir until they reach twenty-five.

Duties

The highest authority in [The Kaldari Highlands, The High King of Kaldaria is tasked to be judge, general, administrator, and diplomat. The High-King is faced with the daunting task of protecting the commonfolk, managing domestic and foreign affairs, making judgments during significant disputes, and leading the forces in battle during times of war.

Accoutrements & Equipment

The authority of the High King of Kaldaria is expressed in physical form by the royal signet ring and The Royal Crown of Kaldaria.

Grounds for Removal/Dismissal

The removal of the High King is not legally permissible, however, there have been attempts to do so over the length of Kaldari history.
