The so-called "Kazan" wasn't a singular position, but instead a group of powerful people who were integral to the ecosystem of the Ransara mountain range. In fact they were very well organized and maybe even had some ultimate task, like keeping some sort of ancient evil at bay.

[[WMG: Yurika might be a Snow Beast]]
Among many of the books in the elven library of Valathan one can find songs pertaining to the days of old. One of said songs describes a Snow Beast - a shapeshifting predator which used to haunt the northern reaches of the old Elven Empire and prey on its human inhabitants.
The Beast would infiltrate camps disguised as a weary female traveler. Come nightfall she would change into her true form and obliterate the camp, killing and consuming its inhabitants.
The song describes some distinct features of said Beast. Of particular interest is the verse "hair like snow, eyes that gleam". You know who has hair like snow, eyes that gleam and a supposedly demonic visage hidden beneath her mask? Yurika.

While it is true that the position itself is hereditary, it would also probably entail at least some sort of training, which Yurika seems to painfully lack. It could very well be that she claimed this position by force or was forced into it. To what ends - that remains a mystery.

[[WMG: The Grand Master and Grand Oracle are a pair of frauds using magic]]
Both the Grand Master and Grand Oracle have tattoos. More so in case of the Grand Master, but these could easily be used to conceal magical abilities. For example, during the "trial" the Oracle could have easily buffed the Grand Master if she had a Caster's Tattoo (forehead), which would allow her to easily hide all the radiant sounds and colors usually associated with casting spells. The patterns that can be found on the Grand Master's body are eerily similar to another magical tattoo - the Kin's Face.
