Select

The Select are heirs to Ushun Koja.

Those parents who chose to nominate their children as Select bring their babies to Sharrabbas where they have to undergo a series of tests. The parents of those children who pass the test are given money to bring up the infant in the approved manner. At the age of nine, the child is exiled from Kazan and must roam the lands of Khul, making his or her own way and surviving the rigours of loneliness and fear. When a ruler dies, the select are summoned by messengers who travel the countryside, leaving secret symbols in traditional locations. They must make their way to Kazan, enter the great Mazes and obtain as many as the Clan Medallions as possible. They then have to reach Sharrabbas, where they must be the first to sit upon the Throne. The Kazanids are a very secretive people and the mystery of what happens in Sharrabbas has never been revealed.
