Chieftains or "chiefs" are levelled characters who have reached 6th to 8th level, though a rare few may be higher than that. Most chieftains are fighters. They have decision-making authority over tribes and chiefdoms. Chieftains answer to no one, though they will gather a group of trusted sub-chiefs whom they will rely upon for advice and the delegation of tasks.
In distinguishing the chiefs of tribes, chiefdoms and nations from one another, outsiders may wonder at the same title being applied to each. Tribes are a sub-set of chiefdoms, while the latter is a sub-set of nations. However, while many chiefs might be present, there is a personal heirarchy that exists between them; each tribal chief speaks for their tribe and elects the best of their number to lead the chiefdom. In like manner, chiefdoms will select from their number the chief of the whole nation. To outsiders, this seems confusing. It matters to the people that the choice is made on merit rather than bloodline. When one chief falls, there is always another ready to be named. No member of the nation becomes a chief through birth.
