ruler of an area) has little to benefit from allowing scheming to occur, and this Tenet is enforced to keep the Magaji "in the know." Sires Command, Childer Inherit: In other words, just as age determines leadership, lineage determines fealty. The Eldest Command Undeath: A reinforcement of the rulership by the eldest, this explicit rule has come under considerable fire in recent times, and is treated delicately by wise Magaji. Travellers Obey The Tenets: This twofold rule requires that Laibon away from home adhere to the Tenets, as do outsiders in the Ebony Kingdom. The Eldest Are Kholo: This Tenet allows some flexibility in any given area's power structure, as travelling elders (particularly among the Kinyonyi) are granted due respect despite their not Belonging.
