Editing What Thunder Brings (section)

===Politics===
As the Ura’Gar was believed to be founded by five great warriors, they have retained that same number of leaders into the modern day. The Marak’Torl, or ‘Founder’s Five’, are a council of elected clansmen that come together on a regular basis to vote on a variety of topics and issues that affect the clan. There are very few requirements to qualify for a position in Marak’Torl, you simply have to have completed your three trials and have at least fifteen of your fellow clansmen that are willing to speak on your behalf. Even age and race aren’t a factor; there have been several non-orcish Marak’Torl (though all were even controversial) and there are even stories of a boy joining the Marak’Torl mere weeks after completing his trials.

After qualifying for the Marak’Torl, those seeking the position must complete several trials (the exact number often varies) that, while different in each case, are designed to test an individual’s strength, cunning, and wisdom. If an individual is attempting to fill an open spot, then they perform these trials alone, but if they are trying to take a still-living member’s position, or if more than one person wants the role, then they compete against each other in all of the trials, with the overall winner taking the role.

Two decades ago, however, this system was completely upended by Olok the One-Eyed, who led a coup against the then current Marak’Torl and became the sole leader of the Ura’Gar, granting himself the title of Rezkar (Saviour in Common). Olok now holds absolute power over the Ura’Gar, and none may take his position until the ancestors speak to the clan once more or until he is dead.
