The Esrova Court 1476 Share Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) EKOVNEN HAENZI TJASERNARI REFORMED HAESENI SERVANTRY UKEN VE KRAWN I ROZZ Issued by the QUEEN’S COUNCIL On the 4th day of Tov and Yermey of 425 ES VA BIRODEO HERZENAV AG EDLERVIK For generations, our Royal Courts has boasted a bustling assortment of courtiers and positions working under the Koenas. One of whom, the Head of Servantry, upholds the quality of the servants and supporting foundations of the Nikirala. Their purpose is to maintain this active body of hired employees, ensuring the guests and noblemen of the palace are attended comfortably. With the blessing of Koenas Emma Karenina our current Head of Servantry, Helena Bishop, wishes to invite the creative and hardworking minds of Karosgrad to affect change in the workings of the palace grounds. As the recently appointed Head of Servantry begins her tenure it will be assured that, through the following methods, the Nikirala Prikaz will see itself into an era of high activity and efficiency. ROLES WITHIN THE REFORMED SERVANTRY Firress Bishop’s vision for Haeseni servantry is both in keeping with the traditional roles within the palace, while retaining ideals of expanding the royal workforce with a larger diversity of roles. Most of the following positions may be filled by multiple people, and multiple people may fill more than one role. Head of Servantry Appointed by the Queen, the Head of Servantry oversees and hires all of the following positions. They report directly to the Grand Lady of the Royal Courts, engaging in meetings of the Queen’s Council, and interview potential candidates to fill servantry positions. It is their purpose to ensure the palace remains an active and thriving environment, for both the Nikirala’s workforce and the guests it sees cycling through its doors. They organise staff meetings and trainings, as well as celebratory events for the workforce, and must ensure every staff member is active and contributing to the Nikirala’s welfare. More than that, however, as Head of Servantry it is imperative they guarantee that each staff member of the wider fabric of the Nikirala is protected and continues to feel welcome. [Contact: Based1Salmon#7103] Deputy Head of Servantry Whatever the Head Servant dreams, the Deputy helps build. They are charged with being the hand of the Head Servant whenever needed, either in their absence or when entrusted with other duties. The Deputy must be an adept penman, or woman as they serve clerically under the Head, from scribing letters, minutes during meetings, and recording the various individuals of their duties - as to track progress of the work staff. It is also important that the Deputy be well-trained in all other departments of the Palace too, as preparation to become the next Head of Servantry when the time comes. Being the Deputy is a meritorious feat, and a well opportunity to verse oneself in the workings of Servantry. [Vacant] Royal Butler Serving a key role in servantry, the Royal Butler is charged with the management of the Royal Household, be it from overseeing that the Royal family is kept cared for, to ensuring that they are kept with full stomachs of wine, or food. This duty should not only be seen as a simple job, but a duty to provide company to the Royals who they surround themselves with, and to be a lifelong companion of the most prestigious family of Hanseti-Ruska. Hence, it is vital that the Royal Butler be gregarious and good-natured. They also have the responsibilities of managing the training and coordination of other butlers, leading by their model example, and largely overseeing the Court Messengers. Should the head or deputy be absent, the Royal Butler should expect to be left in command, already serving as a third in the hierarchy of the Palace servantry. [Contact: cap'n#4985] Court Florist Such a person with an ardour for flora, will be hired to ensure both the upkeep of the palace’s interior plants, the Royal displays, but also to maintain the beauty of the sprawling Nikirala gardens and Karosgrad’s surrounding blossoms. From cultivated rose gardens, rural wildflowers, to carefully trimmed bushes, the Court Florist must be someone who retains a budding passion for Godani’s most delicate creation. Crucially, the Nikirala Gardens require gardening and maintenance. They will aid in decorating the palace itself, changing displays according to their chosen mood and season, as well as to prepare the ballroom or feast hall for similar social events. Large floral centerpieces and sculptures have been crafted in the past, as impressive spectacles for the Nikirala’s guests. [Contact: Lokvank#0066] Handmaiden Handmaidens are an essential part of the flow of palace life. They are responsible for aiding noble ladies and other important female figures in their general day-to-day life. This might include: dressing, bathing, accompaniment, tasks, taking messages, etc. This role is a laborious one, and regarded as one of the most prestigious in the palace servantry. Unlike many other roles, handmaidens work directly beside their assigned lady, so it is imperative that they are selected carefully and under vast consideration. Candidates must be confirmed by either a group consisting of the Head Maid, Deputy Head of Servantry, and the Head Butler, or directly by the Head of Servantry. [Vacant] The Royal Chef One, if not the key, member of our Nikirala servantry is the Royal Chef. The large palace kitchen, stocked with ingredients and the latest culinary appliances, is their domain. They are able to experiment with recipes and methods in its stifling warmth. It is imperative that each and every meal is prepared to utter perfection, as serving their employers anything not up to par, is an insult. They must be flexible, as the plans for a meal could change in an instant. A simple family dinner could easily become a grand feast between two or more families. They must also have a vast array of knowledge for spices and food preparation. The last thing a chef would want is to accidentally poison their employers! [Contact: Keegan7om#9889] Scullery Boy One of the more simple roles within the servantry chain is the scullery boy. They are the official chief editor of the kitchen recipe book, and will uphold the grammar, spelling, and organization of the cookbooks held on the kitchen shelves. Along with their primary duties, the scullery boy will be the primary creator of new recipes in cooperation with the Court Chef. Those who hold this position will be expected to know the likes and dislikes of the lords and ladies they serve, so that they might create a meal that all can equally enjoy. Typically, this role is occupied by a younger child, it is a foot in the door for a life of servantry, or the role as future Head Chef! [Vacant] Court Messenger The court messenger is tasked with one simple job, to provide communication between the royal family and those they converse with. It is a travel-heavy job, requiring fast legs and a quick mind to be able to take a message at a moment’s notice, no questions asked. Much of the work is just getting to and from necessary locations, searching for specific recipients. Those who fill this position must have a keen sense of the outdoors, as further trips might require camping overnight. Wit and sharpness are qualities encouraged in such messengers, as the speed of delivery might be the distinction between life and death. [Contact: 10matthewc9#9809, Turbo_Dog🦧#9339, Tav#6906] Joining the ranks of the Nikirala’s servantry allows entrance into a larger community, making a career of domestic talents - if you find there is not a position suited to you, contact the Head of Servantry, to see about installing a unique role in the Courts. It is paid work, on weekly basis, and one can rise up the ranks of servantry (the Head Royal Butler, Deputy Head of Servantry, and the top position as Head of Servantry are all well-respected positions). If you are interested, contact the current Head of Servantry, or the Court’s Grand Lady to get involved.
