The High Lord
The High Lord is the figure head of the Tandari Council. When it comes to ruling they have the most sway over the councils decisions by counting as three votes. While this does give them a bit amount of sway it does not give them ultimate power to dictate the laws of Tandari as the Lower Lords can still vote against the High Lord's Policy. In times of dire necessity, the Lower lords can elect for the High Lord full executive power and give them sole rule. This has only happened once since the Shattering.
This title lasts until death or a unanimous vote to replace the High Lord.
