The North: King

Leader of The Kingdom of The North, the High King is considered kind and wise. Their word is law.

Overview
The High King is often born into their rank, usually the only child of the former ruler. In the case that the ruler has multiple children the heir to the throne will be chosen through the frozen trails. The child that wins will be deemed worthy of the throne and claimed as the heir. When they grow out of the rank of Frostar they will begin royal training by shadowing the current High King and the Jarls' of The North. During the Spring they are free to learn whatever they please.

As the High King, one is expected to rule kindly and fairly, but is also expected to be able to put a hoof down when needed. They will listen to those who have concerns, organize the distribution of rations, welcome new foals to the faction, and much more. The High King is often swamped with duties so they have a group of Thane to advise the High King and is some cases take over some duties.

While the King is often quite busy with herd matters, they are also expected to make regular appearances among their subjects; Chatting with artisans, eating with frostar's in the marketplace, or even just quietly sitting in the city. Good public relations has always been a top priority of the Royal Kin and it is believed that regular appearances throughout the faction makes the social gap smaller. This means having good social skills is highly emphasized in the education of a young heir.

To further ensure good public relations, the High King is flanked by 6 chosen officials known as the Thane. Chosen by the High King.
