Jarl

The Jarl is the leader of the Bloody Flanks Clan. They oversee clan life and have the final say on all decisions.
== Overview ==
The Jarl comes to power a few different ways within the clan system. It can be a hereditary title, one self obtained by the most powerful or revered equine, or the bearer of the title can even be voted in by a general consensus. While blood does not have as much importance in this title anymore, one is made Jarl often by a mixture of the second two options.
The Jarl commands respect and honour, and this can be won by strength or intellect. Either is acceptable. They are the head of the Bloody Flanks clan, and make the say on any decisions that need to be made. While they have the Thanes to help with advice, ultimately it comes down to the word of the Jarl. Depending on the Jarl, they may decide to put a lot of weight into the Thane’s advice, or dismiss it completely. The current climate of the Bloody Flanks has this leaning more towards the former, with input from the Thanes and even others within the Flanks being considered. The Jarl must decide what is best for the clan and what path to take, even if it is not the popular decision. 
Similar to the War Lord, the Jarl only steps down if they are defeated and forced to resign, or killed. It is a position they can hold for life, or pass on the title (often this is when hereditary laws fall into place).
