[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 7013857, member: 92511"] The King should have representative of the major elements within their domain: Military: generals - these are likely the king's own grown children, assuming he has them. One or two other trusted warriors of high renown. If the kingdom has a naval force, than an admiral is likely to be among the military heads as well. The captain of the king's guard is probably welcome -though not necessarily a regular attendee, and/or the castle's seneschal/castellan (who may similarly be the same person as the captain of the guard or one of the king's children or other military commanders) who is directly responsible for the protection of the king's person, home (castle), and household. The Court Wizard/chief magic-worker, and/or another mage or two who might be directly responsible for the castle or king's person. A high priest for each major recognized religion -if inclusively pantheistic- or at least the major religion followed/believed by the king [and thus, it can be assumed, his household and the "preferred" religion of vassals, and broader kingdom]. If the kingdom or nearby woods includes a large druidic following, with whom the king has good relations, perhaps a representative from the woods shows up from time to time as well. A Spymaster. A "Keeper of the Keys" (in charge of the money) An Archivist/Loremaster...who may or may not be one of the court's mages. A Guildmaster -top artisan or merchant group, whomever holds the most public approval or power among the common folk. Someone to keep an ear in the street and help keep them...in their place.
