Ko'Khan

The Ko'Khan is the title bestowed to an individual assigned as the governor of any of the four districts in the Nightmare Realm. Since the kingdom's development, there has been a total of nine Ko'Khan in Nightmarian history.

Overview
The Ko'Kahn's position was created soon after the creation of the Nightmarian Kingdom by Roland Shen'Kar, the kingdom's founder and "Father of Nightmares."

The Ko'Khan is usually selected by the King and/or Queen of the realm at the point a Ko'Khan position is available. In some special cases, the position can be filled by the previous Ko'Khan's child but is mostly avoided to reduce the possibilities of corruption or nepotism. The job of providing candidates is given to one of the monarch's advisors or assistants and is reviewed by the monarchs as well as the realm's high ranking officers.

The Ko'Khan's inauguration is a ceremonious event with most of the realm or at least a given district attending. Once inaugurated, the Ko'Khan usually moves into the Ko'Khan Residence in their respective district where they were inaugurated, which is located toward the center of any given district.

A Ko'Khan is responsible for small day-to-day affairs for their district which include keeping up with maintenance of infrastructure, regional issues and law enforcement and relaying information and happenings from their region to the monarchs on a weekly basis. The Ko'Kahn spends most of their time in their office and making appearances on behalf of the monarchs for events vital for the kingdom and the realm.

He known around the Nightmare Realm as the "Flying Bull" for his rather abnormal and expertise in wind type magic despite his size. He is the current Ko'Khan of the Northern District and close friend to Jack Shen'Kar.
