Government system:

BoltWings have a complex political system that is shrouded in mystery but this much is known...They have a Queen like the other tribes but Kings are not unheard of, they have a council that will appoint a new King or Queen every Hundred years out of the existing royalty* or if the current King or Queen is unfit to rule. The council is made up of the most respected members of the tribe that are the oldest and wisest or have the most experience in politics.

(*if there are no suitable royals to ascend the throne a competition is held between the commoner's to determine the new monarch and royal family, although the specifics of the competition are unknown, however, what is known is that the competition is exceedingly dangerous and tests not just the body, but also the mind, moral compass and emotional stamina.)
