Myrtou
With the greatest open spaces, Myrtou holds some of the mightiest mounted cavalry in all of Helathen. The Great horse masters and mistresses of Myrtou revolve their life around the care and control of their mounts, and so does their leadership. For this reason, the process to become a Leader is based around equine nature.
When a Leader can no longer ride unassisted, when they can no longer control a mount, they are replaced by the next successor. The Successor is chosen from willing individuals who step forward and undergo the challenge that all leaders must face. They must find a wild colt, mount and tame it within a day and retain control of it over a series of malleable challenges.
This section of the trial is often altered for Centaurs. If a figure can make it that far, they are then taken to undergo their own variant of the Triadok, though focused around mounted combat. The Leader is then titled Hipponax or Hipponassa.
