Lord Steward of Deilen

In the Kingdom of Deilen, the Lord Steward (otherwise the Steward) is the head of the royal household - a body of servants, courtiers, and retainers.

The shape of the royal household is often determined by the sovereign of the time. It may be diverse or uniform; large or small. It is incumbent upon the Lord Steward to manage and organise the king’s domestic needs. He is chiefly responsible for directing servants and preparing lodgings.

The Steward’s intimate presence in the royal court grants him unrivalled access to the king and those around him. He is paid a salary and appointed a staff of his own. '[Perhaps the Lord Steward carries some object/symbol of authority? E.g. the white staff - every councillor?]'

[Unsure if these councillors should receive a salary tied to the office, or if they should instead be granted additional posts as sinecures - Column A + Column B?]

Since [Year], [Character] has held the office of Lord Steward.
