We don't actually know how leadership is handled with Seekers or Keepers. The only information they've given us is how the Tia/Nuhn dynamic works and its relation to naming conventions. If Vareal wants to be from a tribe that uses a tribunal to decide leadership or that leadership is passed from chief to the chiefs favored offspring, he's entirely free to do so. There's really no reason to be so aggressively critical towards Vareal about his background.Â
This community is for bringing RPers together correct? There's a lot of different styles of roleplay and everyone has different standards and ideas about backgrounds. Vareal's is a little more heroic and unlikely than most, but it's entirely possible to offer some helpful criticism without being so aggressively negative. Having disagreements and debates over what the lore is is totally fine, and something I actually enjoy, but hostility towards others use of the lore (assuming it's not obviously lore-breaking) is detrimental to keeping that community open and thriving. This place isn't meant to be a litmus test for character background validity enforced by the community (at least, I sincerely hope it's not meant to be), so please relax.
My advice to you Vareal is, as Eva said, to keep things open to change, my own addition to that is that simple is usually better, as it's always much easier to add to a background later on than it is to justify things down the road. I don't think you're doing anything inherently wrong here, although I do think his age at the time of his ascension to leadership is a little low if he's also a late bloomer in terms of development. If he were even slightly older this would be largely mitigated.
