Heir Selection
Tanistry Elective
A traditional Gaelic form of government in which the ruling clan selects the most competent heir from amongst themselves. Being a patrilineal descendant of a historical ruler does increase one's chances of being selected, though it is considered improper to elect a child of the current ruler.
The process does tend towards the most qualified individual being selected, but because the rulership often meanders through multiple branches of the family tree in a somewhat arbitrary selection process, it frequently leads to feuds.
