King's Council

The King's Council, not to be confused with the High Council, is a small group of men who are elected advisers to the King. The Council is headed by the King himself, or in his absence the Queen or Heir. In the rare cases of the Royal Family being absent the Steward takes charge. Apart from the Steward, the Master of the Horse and the Constable, none of the posts on either the King's Council or the Lord's Council are limited to men.

Council Positions
Steward – colloquially known as the King’s Right Hand, the steward will take care of affairs of state in the absence of the King or Queen (if the heir is a minor, the steward’s authority will supersede theirs). Ordinarily, they handle the day to day business of the castle. The King's Steward also commands a select number of men who gather intelligence. Because of the status of the position, it is only given to a member of one of the older Noble Houses, or younger son of one of the Great Houses.

Chancellor – responsible for the judiciary system. Only a Royal Order can contradict an official ruling by the High Chancellor, who has the final say on all judicial issues. Similarly, only a Lordly Order can overrule the Chancellor on the Lord’s Council, and then, only the Lord of that particular council. The High Chancellor would oversee the trial if a Lord or Royal were prosecuted.

Chamberlain – in charge of the kingdom’s finances. They oversee the collection of the annual tithe.

Constable – The Lord Constable was originally the commander of the royal armies and the Master of the Horse. He is now in charge of the Citadel Guard, more commonly known as the Red Knights or the Red Guard.

Marshal – the Marshal has responsibility for the organisation of State funerals and the monarch’s coronation.

Keeper of the Seal – Originally, its holder was responsible for the monarch's personal (privy) seal (as opposed to the Great Seal of the Realm, which is in the care of the Lord Chancellor). Today, the holder of the office is invariably given a seat in the Council.

Master of the Horse – While the Constable is the commander of the King’s Army, the Master of the Horse is the commander of the Cavalry. Originally, the role of the cavalry commander was given to the Constable also. The Master of the Horse on the King's Council is usually someone who has reached the rank of Captain in the Cavalry, and his senior Lieutenant sits on the Lord's Council of the Crownlands.
