 While the Tsardom of Ortalyk is typically handed from the father to to the eldest son, the watchful eye of the [[Zhurek Dynasty]] is always ready to intervene.  The offspring of a bad (relative term) Tsar is not likely to get very near the throne.  The traditional process is sometimes derailed for reasons known only to the dynasty itself, though these reasons are sometimes obvious to observers.

		+	The [[Zhurek Dynasty]] is premier family [[Ortalyk]]. Since before known memory, the family has ensured that someone of the Zhurek lineage has been seated to the throne of [[Ortalyk]]. The current Tsar, [[Batil Zhurek]] succeeded his father [[Anvar Zhurek]], who had died in [[250 IM]] near the end of the [[Grendel War]].
		+
		+	[[Batil Zhurek]] was not the ''natural'' heir to the throne, as that distinction fell upon his older brother [[Nikolai Zhurek]]. Nikolai sat out the [[Grendel War]], his talents more suited to administration of the realm. Nikolai's physical health also became an issue as he was unable to spend long periods on horseback.
		+
		+	After the death of [[Anvar Zhurek]], the [[Zhurek Dynasty]] concluded that it should appoint a hero to the throne and they had a hero in [[Batil Zhurek]], who had successfully laid siege to the [[Grendel]] city of [[Sogis Kirgin]] and crippled the [[Grendel]]'s ability to conduct the war. The mechanics of how this decision was made within the chambers of the [[Zhurek Dynasty]] is unknown to anyone outside of the family.
		+
		+	==Dynasty Influence==
		+	The [[Tsar of Ortalyk]] is rarely far from the family on either political or social issues. The [[Zhurek Dynasty]] is possibly the richest faction in all of [[Otan]] and have certain needs, not only to maintain that wealth, but to continue to build it. As a result of this, trade has become a priority goal of the [[Ortalyk]] government, which encourages trade with former friends and enemies alike.
		+
		+	Members of the [[Zhurek Dynasty]] can often be found visiting the various regions of the country, promoting trade with neighbors from all sides. While tensions continue to exist with the [[Ungir]], Ungirsi products still flow into the country via the [[Kuulik Trade Company]]. It's not uncommon for these trade agreements to bear a ''Zhurek'' signature.
		+
		+	The dynasty, often by order of the Tsar, grants itself exemptions from taxation for key international deals and by this device increases its wealth significantly whenever a foreign country creates the ''latest thing'' to come into demand by the [[Ortalyk]] people.
		+
		+	In matters of social influence, the [[Zhurek Dynasty]] influences everything from table manners and etiquette to fashion and architecture. If something is prized by the Zhureks, it will certainly become prized by all of [[Ortalyk]]. This has extended to all forms of artwork, so much so that individual artists can find the value of their artwork soar if their pieces are displayed anywhere in the [[Zhurek Palace]].
