| 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. | ||
