There are numerous major and minor figures to be found at the court. The following are some of the more interesting.
The Chancellor, Steward, Chamberlain, and Marshal all have several lesser officials, clerks, etc who assist them in the day-to-day execution of their tasks. The Steward is responsible for the normal staff of the court and the castle itself. The Chancellor is in charge of the various courts and civil policing functions, though many of these functions fall to lesser nobles. The Chamberlain manages the Duchy's finances and tax collection functions. The Marshal is the commander of the standing military forces. He has under his control various captains, etc.
Sharn Kellion's policy of consolidating the power of Tisloch over the other independent lordships of Kinergh makes him popular with his own court. On the other hand the local merchants are happy with the status quo, the other northern lords are needless to say mostly not in a position to seriously object. Accommodations have been made with the dwarves and only some of the southern lords are still powerful enough to make trouble.
Even so the Forlarren Faction represents a group of nobles, influenced by the diabolic operatives of the Head Of Oboth Nai who are dedicated to preventing a reinstatement of the Kingship of Kinergh. They are the spearhead in Kinergh of the Head's followers who are even now close to the brink of seizing power in Gilduin. Most of the Forlarren Faction are southern nobles, including Count Porthel Of ThangCountPorthelOfThang]], and Count Denthos Of Alas . Baron Orlo Of Weln , a retainer of the Duke himself is also one of the main, though covert, leaders of the faction. Copyright © 2022 Tod G. Harter. All rights reserved.
