Elders are a part of Sangheili local governments, assisting kaidons in governing their states and electing new kaidons. Elders typically confer in a chamber with a keep.[1]
If a council elder believes that his vote was "ill advised" or "had second thoughts", it was considered a tradition for council elders to send assassins to kill a kaidon in order to test "the true merit of a ruler's martial abilities." The belief was that "a kaidon who could not defend himself was not a true leader."[2] However, while an elder had the right to send assassins against a new kaidon, the kaidon could put the elder to death for doing so, should he survive. If an elder who failed to have a kaidon assassinated begged for mercy at their last moments, they and their entire line would be put to death; however, if they "found courage" and attempted to fight back, their lineage would be granted mercy and they would only be banished from the keep. This was what Thel 'Vadamee chose to do after Koida 'Vadam had sent assassins after him.[3]
