Clementine Court

[ncarr 2806]

 

 

Ardor Castle circa. 1904

 

 

Following the reconstruction of Vienne  the Aaunic court finally has a place to settle within the walls of Ardor Castle. Due to such a place the court may now grow, thus the creation of new positions for the Aaunic population to occupy. 

 

 

PURPOSE OF THE COURT

 

The court is to be an environment carefully crafted where histories of the Heartland may be researched, cultures of the Kingdom may come together, their respective traditions meshing within the capital. No longer will the court act as a strict hierarchy of pompous rules and ceremonies, but a innovative community of courtiers and great minds of Almaris. The court shall work as a publishing system, alongside its traditional purposes, of cultures of the realm and trends of the capital.

In most instances, upon birth, princesses will be paired with girls of similar age who will act as their Lady-in-Waiting when they’ve reached the proper age.

Alongside the Master of the Hunt, the Master of the Stables is charged with upkeep of the Royal Stables and the steeds housed within such. While he is not tasked with cleaning and taking care of the animals himself, he is tasked with keeping them well trained and worked out even when they are not in use by the Royal Family. The Master of the Stables must also coordinate with the King and Royal Chamberlain for any event involving a procession of royal horses.
