History
Right after the signing of the sacred Treaty of Alani, the village came together to decide on the first Grand Overseer, the leader who would embody the values of unity and respect within the newfound alliance with the Triton. A council of respected community members, comprising experienced leaders, artisans, and skilled individuals, was formed to facilitate the selection process. Each council member was encouraged to nominate a candidate they believed would be best suited for the esteemed role.
Once the nominations were made, the entire community engaged in a transparent and inclusive voting process. Every Verdan, regardless of age or status, had the opportunity to cast their vote for the candidate they deemed most capable of leading Alani with wisdom and compassion. The vote was conducted openly, with everyone witnessing the proceedings, fostering a sense of shared responsibility and ownership in the selection.
After all votes were counted, the candidate with the most overwhelming support emerged as the first Grand Overseer. The chosen leader, humbled and honored, graciously accepted the role, pledging to uphold the values of the treaty and work tirelessly to strengthen the bond between the Verdan and the Triton.
In this democratic process, the Verdan took an active part in selecting their first Grand Overseer, fostering unity and a sense of collective decision-making that would shape the province of Alani's future. The success of this democratic tradition would become a cornerstone of the province, ensuring that future leaders would be chosen by the people, embodying the spirit of cooperation and harmony with the Triton, and continuing to uphold the sacred values of the enchanting province of Alani.
