Editing Kir'Ko History (section)

=== Leadership ===

It is rare for a Kir'Ko to live past 50 due to their harsh lifestyle, where the weak and the unlucky rarely survive. Those who reach the age of 35 are revered as elders, their wisdom and experience making them invaluable to the tribe. Elders are granted the right to participate in decision-making, guiding the younger generations with stories, lessons, and the traditions of their people. They are seen as living embodiments of the Mother Wind's will, their words carrying the weight of the storms.

There is no single ruler among the Tirkin. Instead, each tribe is guided by a council of elders, who make decisions through consensus. Disputes are often settled through sky duels, non-lethal aerial displays of speed, agility, and skill, where the outcome determines who holds the right to speak. These duels are not only a means of resolving conflicts but also a way of honouring the wind, for only those who truly understand its currents can claim victory.
