The entire tribe stood there stunned as the Shaman acquitted the Outsider of his crimes and took him away. But when they gathered their bearing, everyone turned towards A'Mila for answers as she was the only one who could stop the Shaman.
However, A'Mila stared back at them blankly. She knew everyone was thinking why she didn't intervene, even though they knew very well why she didn't.
While the chieftain was the tribe's leader and led the tribe through daily activities, the Shaman was someone who existed to control the chieftain from going rampant and getting drunk on power.
The Shaman rarely ever intervened in the proceedings of the tribe, but when they did, it was considered to be on behalf of the gods.
While at first glance, it might seem that the Shaman could veto anything they didn't like, the power to overthrow a Chieftain's decision was limited to thrice yearly.
