Chieftain – W’adrhŭn

While civil divisions and rule by council might be all well and good for the day-to-day rule of a village, the Ukunfazane was well aware that her fractious children would need a strong hand to hold the tiller when they marched to war. Thus was the position of the Chieftain born: Elected from amongst the oldest and canniest of W’adrhŭn warriors and standing outside the village hierarchy, Chieftains wield power only within that confines of a military raid or campaign, but there their will authority is absolute.
