| The assessment of one’s worth and vocation is formalized through the Jurvesh, a society-wide examination administered at critical junctures such as career shifts or appointments to higher office. The Jurvesh evaluates prior achievements, personal conduct, and intellectual grounding in Vitari philosophy. It probes not just knowledge but motivation, seeking to reveal how deeply one aligns with the Federation’s ideals. Presiding over this system is a distinct and almost mythic class of Untouchables, who operate entirely independent of political or economic influence. Their sole responsibility is to maintain, update, and oversee the examination, safeguarding the impartiality that underpins Vitari meritocracy. | The assessment of one’s worth and vocation is formalized through the Jurvesh, a society-wide examination administered at critical junctures such as career shifts or appointments to higher office.

| The Karnesh serves as the supreme executive of the Vitari Commerce Federation, a position that blends ancient lineage with earned merit. Though the title often passes through bloodlines it is not purely hereditary, it is inherited by worth and not simply the consequence of one's birth. Upon the death or retirement of the incumbent Karnesh, all eligible heirs of the ruling clan, by blood, elevation, or adoption must undergo the Jurvesh if they wish to seek the post. Only those who demonstrate themselves in both deeds and examination are considered worthy of being elevated to the position of Karnesh. | The Karnesh serves as the supreme executive of the Vitari Commerce Federation, a position that blends ancient lineage with earned merit.

| Should the direct bloodline fail to produce a capable successor, the heads of the Varkel clans may select their own candidates from their own clans. Likewise these nominees must also face the Jurvesh and the other selection criteria and the most capable will find themselves in a small pool of possible candidates before the Varkel clan heads, including the current Karnesh or their second, vote on the next Karnesh. In this way the Commerce Federation preserves both continuity of leadership and adaptability, ensuring that no unworthy heir ascends based on their bloodline alone. | Should the direct bloodline fail to produce a capable successor, the heads of the Varkel clans may select their own candidates from their own clans.

| + | In practice, the Karnesh functions much like an Emperor in the Vitari realms. They hold absolute authority over the military, control strategic appointments, and oversee foreign diplomacy, yet are theoretically bound by the laws of the ancient Vitari Charter which limits their power over the clans and their activities as long as they're within the guidelines set by the charter. The executor of will, the unifier of the Commerce Federation, and the embodiment of disciplined governance through merit. A well-loved Karnesh is seen as both philosopher-king and general, the moral axis around which the Commerce Federation turns. A corrupt or inept Karnesh, however, risks not only rebellion from the Varkel but also loss of legitimacy in the eyes of the people, an unforgivable sin in a society that venerates merited authority above all. | ||

| In the society of the Vitari Commerce Federation the Karneshi stand as its highest office and highest clan, the original guiding lineage that presides over all matters within their borders. While the original bloodline that united the clans of Verisk and took them to the stars still exists, the Vitari's devotion to merit and capability ensures that leadership is not confined to ancestry and bloodline alone. Over the generations talented individuals from lesser and even rival clans have risen into the Karneshi, chosen for their aptitude and service to the Commerce Federation's continued progress rather than their circumstance of birth. | In the society of the Vitari Commerce Federation the Karneshi stand as its highest office and highest clan, the original guiding lineage that presides over all matters within their borders.
