Editing Arket (section)

==== Shogun ====
The Shogun of Arket is a dictator chosen by Ark and her Saints. Vested within the Shogun is executive, legislative, and judicial powers. The word of the Shogun is law within the borders of Arket. Only a superior majority, two-thirds, of the Grand Families of Arket can overrule the Shogun.

When the Shogun dies, members of the Diamyo class may present themselves before Ark in an attempt to be made the next Shogun. Those worthy enough of consideration must undergo the Trials of Mountain, Seas, and Sky. The first individual to complete the trial becomes Shogun. In 688 AR when the first Shogun, Izumo Kazuki, died it took two years before a member of the Diamyo could successfully complete the Trials.

As of the year 701 AR, Omori Kazeke is the acting shogun. With almost a decade of experience, Kazeke has proven themself to be a strong shogun with the necessary skill to keep Arket safe from outside threats.
