Discussion: Adding New Roles

Post by Mallory »

She organized a large board to be placed outside her office, bordered it with bright red ribbon and painted a sign that said "Discussions in Progress" in very neat print, large enough to easily be read from a distance. The very first paper attached was a long list, written in her careful script.
These positions are under discussion in our Kingdom and the leadership would like your opinions, thoughts, and ideas on them. Is there a position you feel should be added? Are there tasks you feel might be added in? Removed? Are you interested in something like one of these? How can we encourage all creatures to become actively involved in our community and kingdom?

The King of Fenia, HRM Zuan Winterbourne, Viceroy Aishe Sanchari, and the privy have gathered the jobs and descriptions penned below:
Bard
The Kingdom of Fenia is seeking to hire a Royal Bard. This individual would wish to be versed in some of the arts of entertainment be that in music, song, poetry or other form. They would be required to perform and make themselves available at Kingdom events and gatherings for celebration and dance. Their services would be most welcome in order to enrich the creative community within the Kingdom of Fenia.

Jester
The Kingdom of Fenia is seeking a Jester. This individual would wish to be versed in entertainment, whether it be comedy, acrobatics or some other form of delightful trickery to entertain the court and royalty. They would be required for public and royal events and would be involved in bring amusement to the realm.

Royal Potioneer
The Kingdom of Fenia is seeking to hire a Royal Potioneer. This individual would wish to be skilled in the arts of herb gathering, potion and poison making. They would be required to spend time in their week searching for reagents and other herbal goods for the Nobility and Kingdom, while also creating various potions and poisons for those deemed adequate of their service. This individual would also be called upon to assist with any medical matters the Royal Family might have.

Royal Guards
A separate branch of Fenian Military focused on protecting the Royal Family. These individuals would wish to be skilled in combat and equipped for any potential event that might require them to fight. Their loyalty would, like all soldiers, be to the King, however their remit would focus on protecting or following the orders of the Royal Family in the event of conflict. They would also be required to make public of their presence in public events or gatherings which would see the Monarch or Royal Family attend.

Of Noble Blood?
Do you believe that you are a descendant of nobility? That perhaps you are of noble birth and due to fortune or circumstances that your heritage is not being recognized? If this is the case then his Highness King Zuan would wish to hear from you. If your nobility can be agreed upon then the Fenian Kingdom would be happy to welcome you as a new Lord or Lady.

Royal Seer
Disclaimer: This is a work in progress. Feedback welcome! We thought this could be something fun and different for those wanting to get involved, but not necessarily into the political side of things.
Description: The Kingdom of Fenia is seeking a Royal Seer. To fill this position, you must have be able to predict the future; it can be through natural gifts or divine studies like tarot, mirrors, and crystals.

Royal Secretary

They will share royal announcements on behalf of the monarch and/or royal family through the use of the secretary office. They will attend all meetings that the monarch and/or Viceroy attend; they may be required to attend the meeting for note taking if the monarch and/or Viceroy is unable to attend. They will help manage open Court and petitions to the King. They will also work alongside with the People's Representative.

Ladies-In-Waiting

A full and active court is a great piece of proper life of a flourishing country. We wish to allow ample opportunities for every creature to be involved.

Aishe settled down curiously, waiting to see where the discussion would lead.

Having heard of this latest dribble from the King of Fenia and not the least shocked that not one creature came forth in eagerness to participate in yet another fake attempt at activity, this time one borrowed from others, Hrodohaidis laughed, though she loathed Constance's crystal-sounding laughter so rarely indulged herself. Feeling in a fine fiddle, she wrote a scathing letter for her travels would not bring her back to Fenia for months:
To whom it concerns from a once loyal creature of Fenia,

These are the hidden job descriptions. Kingy only wants to put a title on your head so he can feel like he has done something grand and blame you when it does not bear fruit! Do not be fooled, the Kingdom will remain somnolent as always under him because he will not support these roles as he does not support the current ones.

Bard
Beware, you will be expected to also host these events, celebrations, and dances! There is no opportunity for this under Kingy's rule, given history, so you should actually be called: Party Planner. Without you, all the rest of these jobs are useless except Fooled Me.

Jester
Better check how active the Court is now. Kingy did not even attend Court when it was newly opened to the public and the Viceroy quickly abandoned it. You will be mocking and entertaining an empty room. If that is to your taste, good for you, but who could tell if you did or not? The spiders and mice?

Actual title: Fool

Royal Potioneer
A fancy way of saying Kingy is going to build his hoard off your hard labor. Beware if no payment comes for this position! You will become known as Fooled Me.

Royal Guards
Be prepared to twiddle your thumbs and idle away in whatever corner of the Castle Kingy grants you. If he even thinks to give you a space. This should be Kingy's Sleeping Dogs.

Of Noble Blood?
Be warned! Kingy fancies handing out titles like candy, but they are nothing except air to him. You get no privileges and are treated as nothing more than a commoner.

Royal Seer
You do not need clairvoyance to know Kingy won't listen to a Seer any more than he does to the spoken or written word. Fall for this you should be called Charlatan or The Blind, thereby disqualifying yourself from the job.

Royal Secretary
Be ready to be mistaken for the Queen of Fenia. You will already be doing that work, you should consider a revolution that ends in a promotion. This should be Under Queen or Under King.

Ladies-in-Waiting
Go ahead if you want your network to start and end with you. You will henceforth be known as Miss Hoodwinked.


My, now that we have those all properly named and examined, I will rest my wrist. Making my own suggestions will be ignored, so I will not waste my time delivering them.

In all sincerity,
Constance de Vere
She sealed the letter and had it sent. They would likely burn it upon reading it to hide the truth of King Zuan's pastoral reign, but at least she had entertained herself at the mockery.

The letter nearly fluttered in her hand as the young secretary read the words contained within. She couldn't help herself and quickly was giggling. She could not believe any creature would be so condemning of an attempt at activity, but perhaps some were content to live in solitary existence. Mallory was excited to see the chances for more of the populace of creatures to join in with court life and have the opportunity to advance themselves. Maybe not everyone wanted a title. Maybe not everyone wanted a job. But those who were willing should have them made available. She had listened to those in the taverns asking for more to do, more action, more events, more social gatherings. The powers that be too seemed to have heard the outcry, and were doing something about it, and low and behold someone was unhappy that the chances were offered. And the arguement on pay...no one said the offices were unpaid. She reread, once again, the words to which this letter was a response, penned by her own hand she knew them well. But still, just in case she'd erred in her writing. When she was sure she'd written what she intended she read the letter once more, hoping, perhaps, because it was written word she'd simply misunderstood what the woman had said. At least the letter had given her reason to smile, someone was reading the news, even if thy were not fond of the idea. She passed the letter to her Phei and Kralisi, already pulling her writing supplies from the bag she'd taken to wearing. She popped the cork on her inkwell and promptly began writing:

Unto the hand of Constance de Vere;

Good day, I wish to inform you that your letter has been received with great
she stopped, carefully thinking through the list of words she could find that applied to make certain she found something sincere, joy. You are among the first to respond. While your words are surely interestingly put together I did want to personally thank you for taking time to really kick off our movement for more activity. Your letter clearly shows me that creatures are listening, even if it seems to be beyond your capacity for assistance.

Sincerely,
Mallory Sanchari
Royal Secretary

Thinking of ways to continue Fenia's greatness and the involvement of its creatures, Aishe decided to re-approach an old discussion in hopes of fresh insight. The topic had come and gone in the privy a few times, but she hoped other creatures may have some ideas on ways they wanted to be active within the Kingdom of Fenia.

"Should anyone have any suggestions or proposals on how to create more dynamic and interesting roles for Fenians within the government, Royal Court, or social circles, please let us know!"

A piece of parchment was slipped to the queen, who silently read it before smiling.

“A creature has suggested Royal Hunt Master! What a grand idea!”

She added it to the written list.
Royal Hunt Master, Huntsmaster, Grand Master of Hunts
An individual who will be in charge of organizing hunting trips for the royals and nobles, including a large annual hunt. They are in charge of care for the hounds and beasts used in hunts, as well as the squires and aids during hunts.

Cordelia offers after a moment of thought,
“Might I suggest a Chamberlain who manages the royal household and its servants. The palace is large, with many creatures in play, so a chamberlain would ease the burden on the daily runnings of the household.

Fenia is a very wealthy kingdom and as such, it may be helpful to have a Cofferer (of the Household) to handle wages around the palace. They could also handle money for events and affairs, and advise on spending habits.”




[Just trying to come up with some ideas that are more different than what’s already suggested! May be someone out there who feels these certain roles fit them more. :) ]
