The final step in one's possible Titling...

...is Success/Fail. Live or Die.

K'Syth Lohrds and Darkanths are not merely 'given' Titles. One must have a body of experience, have met the Trials assigned, and then one must face and answer with one's deepest Self all questions put forth by The Winnower.

It takes time... ...hours, sometimes days, while the K'Syth keeps themselves in a deep meditative trance state akin to hibernation as they are questioned by The Winnower. The Winnower learns every secret of every fiber of their spirit and mind so as to ascertain if they are properly fit to be Titled as Lohrd, or possibly even a Darkanth. One failure, one obfuscation, one lie and extermination is unhesitatingly instant, absolutely final.

The K'Syth Imperium is very careful as to whom holds and exercises power on the scale that Lohrds and Darkanths do.
