Lord Treasurer of Glorinel

In the Archduchy of Glorinel, the Lord Treasurer (otherwise the Treasurer) is the head of the Royal Treasury - a body responsible for the collection, safekeeping, and distribution of wealth.

Those who belong to the treasury are commonly merchants and landowners with private enterprises. Responsible for creating and capitalising on revenue for the archduke, the treasurers of the realm take part in numerous activities ranging from taxation and licensing to bookkeeping and the drawing up of trade deals. The Lord Treasurer is tasked with overseeing the treasury and its practices, directing and officiating mercantile contracts and tax policies.

Traditionally appointed the Master of Mines and Quarries, the Lord Treasurer is additionally required to direct mining endeavours. In his dual capacity, the Treasurer is responsible for most financial matters in the Archduchy.

While he does not receive direct monetary compensation, the Treasurer is granted the right to exact fees for financial or mercantile matters. He is furthermore granted access to a small share in the realm’s goldmines in his position as Master of Mines and Quarries.

As one of the eight Great Officers of the Realm, the Lord Treasurer is granted the right to hold a golden staff as a symbol of his authority.
