Hunter in Chief
Qualifications
The Hunter in Chief needs to be an outstanding hunter with deadly accuracy and leadership skills. Hunting in Zayth Tcheor is very much a group effort, not a solo activity, and being able to lead a group of hunters well is key. Strategic prowess , familiarity wit Zayth Tcheor's history and Book of Laws is also important. Last but not least, emotional intelligence is valued highly as well. All of these aspects are measured in the challenges every candidate for Hunter in Chief must face.
Something that isn't necessary, but certainly a bonus point is being able to cast bloodrunes or generally wielding magic.

Requirements
The only requirement for becoming Hunter in Chief is that one is of Zayth Tcheori origin. Gender, age and magical ability don't matter, but the rule used to be that only professional hunters could apply for the title. Nowadays, if the challenger can defeat the current hunter in chief, their background doesn't matter as much, but some Hunters in Chief have already been removed for not being good enough hunters.
Appointment
From the general public, a jury is randomly selected. This jury decides the three challenges the candidates for the title need to undergo. The challenges are designed to test hunting and leadership skills, informed, strategic decision making and emotional intelligence.
Usually, there is the current Hunter in Chief who gets challenged by someone else. The two complete the challenges and the jury decides who did better, which then decides the Hunter in Chief.
In the old days, the candidates would fight to the death, but given Zayth Tcheor's history, it was later decided that the practice was unethical and should be abandonned.

Grounds for Removal/Dismissal
If a majority of people is dissatisfied with the leadership of the Hunter in Chief, there are two things that can happen: Firstly, someone else can challenge for the title, although that is not guaranteed to remove the Hunter in Chief in power. Thus, the second possibility is to cast a majority vote, overseen by the keepers of the book. This removes the Hunter in Chief from their position once and for all, and prohibits them from ever challenging again.
