Council Positions

Queen/King

The overall monarchs of the kingdoms. They oversee everything, and a decision cannot go through without their approval. They rule until their death (unless somehow banished or exiled), as challenges are not a thing on Melanis. When a current queen or king dies, their oldest heir is usually the one to step up. If they have no heirs, a siblings steps up.

They always reside in their kingdom's capital and palace.

This position is taken for all three kingdoms.

Princesses/Princes

The living siblings of the queen or king. They uphold a similar role to the queen or king in council, since they are heavily respected for their royal lineage. The younger royal siblings (0-8 years) usually don't start contributing to council until around 9 years, however.

They always reside in their kingdom's capital and palace with the king or queen.

This position is open for Erudite and Tranquility.

Royal Advisors

The royal advisors can be considered as almost mentor figures for the royal family. Each royal sibling is appointed an advisor, and that chosen advisor will always help the queen/king and princesses/princes with decision-making processes and advice in general. In the case of younger members of the royal family, advisors usually act as teachers for them as well, since they don't have time to attend a regular school.

They almost always reside in their kingdom's capital and palace so they're able to stay by the royal family's side as much as possible.

Necessary advisors for Radiance: 2

Necessary advisors for Tranquility: 2

Board of Scholars

The board of scholars is in charge of and keeps track of the education systems in their respective kingdoms. They work together to monitor the status of schools in their kingdoms. Because of this, they're also tasked with trying to scout out potential future council members, seeing which dragonets have done the best in their classes.

They also have a special task of recording and keeping track of the histories of their kingdom. Whenever an important event occurs, it is their job to record it onto a new scroll and add it to their kingdom's archive.

The scholars almost always reside in their kingdom's capital, sometimes even the palace.

Necessary scholars for Erudite: 3

Necessary scholars for Radiance: 3

Necessary scholars for Tranquility: 2

Head of the Royal Guard

The head of the royal guard is just as the name suggests- they are in charge of organizing the royal guard. They assign positions, are usually in charge of training, and are responsible for scouting out potential new royal guard members.

This position is open for Radiance and Tranquility.

Master of Trade

The master of trade is responsible for keeping track of currency and trade in their respective kingdoms. They make sure that trade is going well and that the kingdom itself has enough currency to sustain itself.

The master of trade's role is much more important OOR. The master of trade keeps track of how much currency a character would currently have on them (think in a similar vain to some clans' point systems). They are also in charge of opening and managing potential shops where characters can spend their currency for various items. (accessories, trinkets from other kingdoms, etc.)

The master of trade almost always resides in their kingdom's capital.

This position is open for all kingdoms.

War General (Tranquility and Radiance only)

The war general is in charge of the kingdom's army during times of war. They are tasked with appointing members into the kingdom's army, helping in battles themselves, and most importantly, planning out any offensive strategies. This position is only necessary during times of war.

The war general always resides in their kingdom's capital.

'This position is open for Radiance. War Generals will not be appointed at Melanis's opening, rather only when the war between Radiance and Tranquility begins.'

Divine Intellect (Erudite only)

Members of the divine intellect are tasked with keeping up with the war by traveling to the warring kingdoms and sometimes even sneaking into the front lines of battle themselves. They might pretend to be a resident of either Tranquility or Radiance to effectively gain more information about the current status of the war. They must regularly write back to the council of Erudite with their findings. They do this because, even though Erudite has chosen not to participate in the war and remain neutral, they hope for intel about potential ways to help end the war.

Members of the divine intellect reside in their kingdom's capital when they are not collecting information at other kingdoms.

'Necessary members for Erudite: 4. Members of the divine intellect will not be appointed at Melanis's opening, rather only when the war between Radiance and Tranquility begins.'
