A
Regent is a member of the nobility holding at least
the rank of Knight who is set to serve as ruler in
another's place due to infirmity, injury,
disappearance, sudden death, or inability to currently
meet the requirements of rulership due to age or
current rank. A Regent may rule over any part of the
Kingdom, an estate, barony, duchy, or even the kingdom
in its entirety. The District of Winterthorne has been
governed by one holding the title of Regent since it
lost the status of Grand Duchy two hundred and fifty
years ago. A Regent is addressed with his highest form
of address or My Lord Regent and any title higher than
Knight is appended (Baron, Grand Duke, or Crown
Prince).
A
High Chamberlain is a noble holding at least the rank
of Royal Knight who is given responsibilities toward
the everyday management of the affairs of the Kingdom.
In general all lesser nobles report to the appropriate
High Minister, the High Ministers report to the High
Chamberlain, and the High Chamberlain reports directly
to the King. A High Chamberlain speaks with the King's
Voice in all matters and may only be overruled by the
King or Neridian Council as a whole. The High
Chamberlain is addressed as My Lord High Chamberlain
and any title higher than Knight is appended (Baron,
Grand Duke, or Crown Prince).
A
High Minister is a noble holding at least the rank of
Royal Knight who is given responsibilities toward a
specific subset of the everyday management of the
Kingdom. For example a High Minister of Works is in
charge of all construction within the Kingdom and a
High Minister of Trade is responsible for all trade
within the Kingdom. The appointing of a new High
Minister is the power of the High Chamberlain. There
are an ever-changing number of High Ministers
responsible for the various aspects of governance as
needed. A High Minister is addressed as my Lord High
Minister of <function> and any title higher than
Knight is appended (Baron, Grand Duke, or Crown
Prince).
A
Minister is a person who is given responsibilities
toward a specific purpose in the everyday management
of the Kingdom. For example below the High Minister
for Trade may be a Minister of Trade with the Kingdom
of Quentari or with the Kingdom of Evendarr. The
appointing of a new Minister is the power of the High
Ministers. There are an ever-changing number of
Ministers responsible for the various aspects of
governance as needed. A Minister is addressed as
Minister and any title Knight or higher is
appended.
