High Fae

High Fae are the leaders of Faedom and are chosen either through combat or lineage. After the creation of Faedom, the semblance of High Fae were created through the building of the six origin tribes, each being structured based on their signature magic. During that time leaders of these tribes were called Chief Fae. As time progressed the tribes grew and split in search of more land and communication between the six origin tribes and their extended tribes became problematic. It was then decided that the six origin tribes would be dissolved and new leaders would be chosen to govern. These new leaders evolved into High Fae

How High Fae Are Chosen
High Fae are chosen based on a competition held to discover the strongest amongst the eligible fae. The competition is constructed to test a fae's physical and mental strengths and to weed out the weaklings leaving only six remaining. After the finalists are chosen they are paired in a battle to the death, whoever is the last standing is crowned High Fae. The High Fae is then guaranteed rulership for life until they perished. After, if the High Lord has any offspring the eldest is guaranteed the position of next the High Fae.

If the offspring is still a youngling, which is uncommon, they are given until two years after becoming full fae before they can be challenged for their title. The battle for the title is to the death, though it is rare for High Fae to change frequently due to "accidents" happening frequently to challengers.
