[QUOTE="Cor Azer, post: 5591503, member: 870"] Well, there's certainly all sorts of retainers and advisors a house could have. Stewards, maesters, and septons are probably the most common, but almost any job you can think of could have a person in charge of it. Kazum, as best I understood, was more so envisioning his character as more like the "business manager" for the mines; to save typing, I was the one who was referring to him as the steward. It is, however, certainly possible for the two to coexist - the steward handling the household and the mine manager handling the business side. The two would have to work together, although that would likely be a behind the scenes thing (like most of the running of the house). Still, it could create some interesting player conflict without animosity - one trying to maximize family matters and the other maximizing business matters. Assuming you wanted to be nobility (either of House Vantri or another house), you could also play as a friend, cousin, or even another brother (heck, or sister) of Lord Loughton, but rather than the military focus of Loughton, Laton, and Jarl, go with the more diplomatic/business side. Although you might not have an official "position" in House Vantri, you could be more like a "board member" to use a corporate metaphor - a general advisor to the House. Of course, you could also combine pieces of both those ideas. [/QUOTE]
