Kepia

Werewolves' Country

Country

A chief is selected through a multi-step process

An election where two candidates are selected, then

A mock battle between two evenly matched regiments, one led by each candidate

The regiments must have previously proven themselves capable of completing similarly ranked missions

The candidates WILL NOT be participating actively, rather they will provide the strategy and demonstrate leadership

The battle will take place at a neutral, controlled location

No weapons will be permitted

Do not aim to permanently maim or kill*

In the event of significant injury, the candidate in charge of the responsible party will be disqualified

If the responsible party claims the injury happened by accident or through other means out of their control, two courses of action can then be taken

Ask the injured party if they also believe they were injured through accidental or other means out of the guilty party’s control

If the injured party is unable to respond or disagrees, those who served on the previous Chief’s council will decide by majority vote whether or not the injury was purposeful

Victory is determined by who is able to capture the opponents' flag and return it to their own base first

No outside resources may be brought to the battle site

If it is not explicitly prohibited here, it is considered fair game

Next, a match between the two candidates

Weapons will be provided

No outside resources may be brought to the site

The battle will take place at a neutral, controlled location different to the one used previously

Do not aim to permanently maim or kill*

In the event of significant injury, the guilty party will be disqualified

If the responsible party claims the injury happened by accident or through other means out of their control, two courses of action can then be taken

Ask the injured party if they also believe they were injured through accidental or other means out of the guilty party’s control

If the injured party is unable to respond or disagrees, those who served on the previous Chief’s council will decide by majority vote whether or not the injury was purposeful

The battle is won by either convincing the other candidate to withdraw, or pinning them for five seconds

The final test is a written test

Each candidate will be in a separate room with two members of the previous Chief’s council and a randomly chosen citizen supervising

The test will consist of previous significant events in Kepia’s history that are essential knowledge for a leader

The test is not timed

The test does not have to be changed between Chiefs if nothing deemed significant enough has occurred

Each event is worth one point, and the

Chief is whoever earns the most points

In the event of a tie, there will be an election held based on the candidates' performance in the events

*Such an injury is defined by loss of limbs, loss of feeling, paralysis, loss of memory, or loss of motor functions

The Chief makes all major decisions for Kepia

The Chief serves as long as they see fit, or until they are challenged

To properly challenge the Chief, you must
Have at least ¼ of the population’s support

Once a challenge has been issued and approved, the election is held once again

The Chief’s Council consists of

The current Chief’s immediate family

The past Chief, if they are still alive

Anyone who competed against the current Chief and lost

Temporary members

Can be anyone who is relevant to the current discussion

Must have the okay by the Chief

The Chief's Council consults on all issues, but even if they all disagree with the Chief, there is nothing they can do.

Kepian’s have a strong sense of community, more than most. They prioritize family, and they include all their neighbors in that definition. They’re focused a lot on defense and protection, sometimes neglecting communication in pursuit of strength and bonds.

Before the Great Divide, Kepia extended through the Flumere River to the Northwest and Ferdale to the Southwest- though never approaching Cloveshire. After the Great Divide, many werewolves relocated to Evica, purely because of lack of space and the aftermath of the war, but most remained.
