Being favored by a god meant that you were fit for the rule of leader, and so at the end of the three trials, there could only be 1-3 contestants left. If there is only one contestant left, after being favored by all 3 gods, they are immediately given leadership. If there are two contestants left, whoever is favored by 2 gods is given leadership. If there are three contestants left, then whoever was favored by Mashk would be given the authority to pick the winner, with no restrictions on who they could pick (they could pick a different contestant, non-contestant, family, friend, themselves, etc.). | Being favored by a god meant that you were fit for the rule of leader, and so at the end of the three trials, there could only be 1-3 contestants left.

While the trials to become Supreme Leader have been abolished, they are still sometimes practiced as a sport, and if you are proven by at least 3 eyewitnesses that you conducted a trial with 2 others and were favored by a god, then you are seen as a great leader, and usually immediately elected into a subdivision role. Because non-Volin people cannot be elected as Prime Leader of Caldera, some Volkspartei members have tried to conduct the trials to win the favor of Volin voters, however, no Gothic politicians have been favored by Mashk. The most famous example of a Gothic politician being favored by a god would be the national leader trials of 1924, in which Derrich Lundsteiner won the slide down caldera, thus being favored by Bron, and also the plant eating contest, thus being favored by Sirkup. During the 1924 election, Derrich Lundsteiner won with 99.9% of his votes coming from Volins. | ||
