Writing a novel and have quite an interesting world involved that I've created, not sure where it will go, but it's still in early stages.
My question involves the leader of this certain nation my story takes place. I've always had an idea that they choose their leader through some sort of tournament between 3 candidates. It's a huge event and it's something everyone gets excited for. It's not really an election, but I've always called it the king elections.
Basically, I can't figure out a way to structure this or flesh it out really, and was wondering if anyone out there can direct me to some reference material I can draw influence from a little bit. I can't find anything like this and I would really appreciate the advice. Have you heard of any stories that have this sort of process for choosing the nations leader? Even if it dates back to the medieval ages id appreciate it! Thank you
