Festival of Life (event)

Also called the Four Trials, this is an event happening every thirty years in Krewlod, allowing a new generation of upstart warlords the opportunity to challenge the ruling leader. It is likely that this custom was created to allow Krewlod to have some political stability, as without such a system in place to legitimately overthrow the ruler, the barbarian nation would be nearly continuously in a state of civil war. The prospect of seizing power during the Festival of Life makes quietly waiting for it to happen more palatable than attempting to seize power by force as soon as possible, since it guarantees the winner legitimacy and thirty years of uncontested power.

Trials

1. Kill a legendary monster: Kilgor was tasked with killing Razor Claw.
2. Kill all monsters in a region: Various monsters are allowed to proliferate and run rampant in one area of Krewlod's wilderness. The competing warlords must tame the wilds.
3. Kill all other competitors in a clan war: House Kilgor faced House Degab, House Telez and House Vilmit.
4. Kill the current ruler: Kilgor faced Duke Winston Boragus
