Council of Advisors (C'thardjia)

== Overview ==
The Council of Advisors were the group responsible for advising the Ruler of C'thardjia. The council was first established at some point during the early reign of Va'clan. By 301 AG, the council would meet in the room overlooking the Throne Room of Tr'caselle and members usually lived in the castle.
==Roles==
By the reign of Queen Tr'millian the council was made up of five positions in addition to the Queen. 
*Her Advisor of Diplomacy - responsible for advising the Queen on matters of politics within C'thardjia and The Continent. An additional diplomat, the High Diplomat of the Capital, was responsible for representing the Queen's voice in the Capital.
*Her Advisor of Development - responsible for advising the Queen on education, health, infrastructure and other social matters of C'thardjia.
*Her Advisor of Resource - responsible for managing the income of C'thardjia and advising the Queen on matters of trade.
*Her Advisor of Strategy and Defence, usually held by The Capain of Her Royal Guard - responsible for keeping C'thardjia safe and in times of war, how best to attack or defend themselves.
*Her Personal Advisor - the Queen's closest confidant, tasked with doing anything the Queen desired. They were often skilled in controlling how information moved around Tr'caselle.
On occasion other advisors, usually without a specific role sat on the council. The King or Queen was encouraged to take part in the meetings but in their absence, Her Advisor of Diplomacy or Her Personal Advisor would take charge. Her Personal Advisor was often responsible for taking minutes. 
The Master of Tr'caselle (Responsible for overseeing the management of Tr'caselle) often joined the council when their expertise were needed. Former regents, having abdicated, and their consorts could be given the role of special advisors on the council as could the regent's heirs.

===Queen Tr'eulie's Council (259 AG - 280 AG) ===
Sir Bhn'tarsh, King Tr'marv's father was suggested by Marv as Her Advisor of Diplomacy, to which Eulie accepted. Eulie believed the only person she could really trust was Marv and so he took on the role of Her Personal Advisor. After he fled C'thardjia, the role remained absent. Following tradition, the Advisor of Resource position was passed down through Et'clan. Ilvai was a young friend of Eulie's who had studied at the Capital University of Oparo.

===Queen Tr'millian's Council (280 AG - 307 AG)===
After succeeding her mother, Queen Tr'millian comprised her council of all new members, save for Sir Et'serja. Sir Lor'arkin was promoted to Commander of the Guard and was thusly given the position of Her Advisor of Strategy and Defence. Sir Ornando of the Queensguard was a skilled warrior but Millian felt he was better suited as an advisor. Sir Tu'torro was brought on as Her Advisor of Development by recommendation of Tr'tharg, who had met Torro at University. As Her Personal Advisor, Millian chose her loyal handmaiden and lifelong friend, Alzanya.
In 284 AG, Ornando travelled to Ori Sao on a diplomatic mission but never returned. As a result, Sir Ch'vyndar, the Knight of Alosso, was invited to become Her Advisor of Diplomacy.
In 301 AG, Sir Lor'arkin was stripped of his titles following Prince Tr'thanir's escape. Sir Lor'elyssa was promoted to Commander of the Guard and became Her Advisor of Strategy and Defence. In 303 AG, Sir Ch'vyndar, after being absent from many Council Meetings, formally left the Council. He had lost faith in Tr'millian and joined the rising Ch'thardji Rebellion. Millian chose not to appoint a new Advisor of Diplomacy, trusting she could handle the responsibilities herself.
In 306 AG, Queen Tr'millian allied with House Grenthyx in order to tackle the rising Rebellion. Lord Sarnos Arrelar arrived in C'thardjia, along with Lord Dukan Tyratheus on orders from Lord Jaekob Grenthyx. Arrelar requested he be made Her Advisor of Diplomacy to which Millian accepted.

===Duke Tr'thanir's Council (307 AG - ~321 AG)===
After agreeing to succeed his mother and swearing loyalty to House Grenthyx, Tr'thanir became the first Duke of C'thardjia in over 150 years. He continued to employ a council to assist his rule just as his predecessors did. Thanir offered the previous council members their places in his counsel. Torro accepted and Elyssa too until she fled Tr'caselle later that year. Thanir offered Arrelar to remain in C'thardjia as His Advisor of Diplomacy, to which he agreed to until the war was won. As His Personal Advisor, Thanir welcomed Et'charla, his most trusted companion. Keeping his friends close, Thanir wished for Gorl to be apart of his personal guard and so created the role of His Personal Protector. Thanir requested Sir Et'serja retire and invited his son, Sambrin, to become His Advisor of Resource.
