When a tribemember tries to take a warlord's position they must first best them in combat, wits, and spirit.

There are 5 warlords in Xy'tal, Renoko the Spirit, Tyr'dal the Wise, Arraz'tel the Unyielding, Selgan the Swift, and Tarr'uk the Commanding.

Taking a warlord's position is no laughing matter, first they must go through a rite of wits and spirit to even be considered; overseen by the elders of the tribe. If they so happen to get past those rites then they must challenge one of the current warlords to a trial of combat where each member must stake their life on it.

If you were to leave a trial or spare the other member you would show weakness as a warlord, and would be exiled. Renoko the current spiritual warlord is showing the other tribemember that this is no laughing matter and that you must look into the very eyes of death before you may be a warlord.

This turned out extremely beyond my expectations, seriously blekarotva's art is amazing.
