[QUOTE="Cerebral Paladin, post: 3838316, member: 3448"] The last major appointment for the day was with Sir Gary Southworth, Master of the Royal Arms. The Master of the Royal Arms ordinarily filled the role of Archduke’s Champion, although that role is limited more to ceremonial duties than the role of champion to most nobles, because the Archduke is not subject to challenges according to standard protocol in Canberry. With Lord Davion filling the formal position of Archduke’s Champion, the Master of Royal Arms had no particular duties-- indeed, the position would usually be allowed to fall into abeyance, although Sir Gary had not formally been relieved. “Your Grace. In another week’s time or so, Sir Damian Tappenworth, the Minister of Defense, will follow Her Grace into the eternal light. We want to make sure that the throne has settled on an appropriate replacement by that time.” “We had settled on a replacement, but we had to give him field duty,” replied Alistair. “Does Sir Damian have a recommendation?” “The one he would recommend is unavailable and has undoubtably saved Your Grace’s life. This presents something of a problem. None of the Field Marshals will return in time, and there is the appearance issue. Elevating any one of them could be taken as a slight to the others.” “Is there anyone with the appropriate experience but without the ability to go into the field?” asked Kit. “There were at least two, but neither continues. Dame Vivian Durance would have made an excellent Minister, but she succumbed to her fast more quickly than I had supposed.” “Did she have any students?” “Yes… you could approach her students. Another unorthodox choice who is not following Her Grace would be Dame Viola, the Master of Squires. She is, however, OA—Order of the Arcane, an eldritch knight. It would not be problematic to appoint an eldritch knight, but it would be highly unusual. She is most puissant, however, and a competent field general.” “It could be a good idea,” said Alistair. “We have largely untapped arcane resources that would be very useful in some of our military operations. Someone with the appropriate expertise to make the best strategic use of our magi would be a welcome aid.” “That would of course create a vacancy in the position of Master of Squires. I would suggest then advancing the Master of Pages to Master of Squires-- Sir Darrin is getting older, but he remains fully proficient and would be an able instructor for the squires. As for the office of Master of Pages… while I would not wish to presume, I might be the most suitable appointment, particularly now that my present office has essentially no duties left.” The Council agreed that that rotation of positions seemed sensible and gave orders to the Archduke’s scribe to prepare appropriate orders. [End Session 27] I may not be able to post an update tomorrow-- I've caught up to the furthest point I've written, so it depends on whether I can find some time to write between now and then.
