Greatest kopis

A greatest kopis is a kopis selected by the Council of Dis. A formal sparring match between the current greatest kopis and other kopides helps determine who will inherit the title next, but the ultimate decision falls upon the capstones of the Treaty of Dis and takes into account other factors, such as unusual accomplishments.

There can only be one greatest kopis at any given time. The title is passed down through a line of succession as each previous title-holder dies. Elise Kavanagh relinquished the title when she retired, as she was presumed dead, and was succeeded by Ramelan.

A greatest kopis is expected to participate in some ceremonial duties in the City of Dis, although level of involvement varies.
