King's Advisor

The King's Advisor - The King's Advisor is the most prestigious and honored job any elf can hope to achieve, a position steeped in centuries of tradition and revered across the realm. As the name implies, the role centers on offering counsel to the monarch, but it carries far more weight than mere advice. The chosen individual lives in Kandasa, the heart of the elven kingdom and gifted only to those with talents, and is permitted to bring their family, granting them a life of safety and privilege. When the King's Advisor becomes ill or aged, a summons is dispatched—an open call to those who believe themselves wise, learned, or unusually insightful. Upon arrival, each candidate is questioned rigorously. The advisor asks riddles and philosophical puzzles that only a wise soul—or a fool unafraid of answers—might attempt. If one passes this trial, they serve as a Sentinel for a day. Surviving that test reveals character, clarity, and endurance. Then begins the true apprenticeship: deep tutelage in diplomacy, history, magical theory, and subtle arts. It is said the Advisor transfers not just knowledge, but foresight. After the training, candidates return home. If a mark—a golden leaf sigil—appears above their door, they are summoned before the High Council, an ancient order that ratifies their appointment. And so begins a journey that few dare dream of—guided by wisdom, tested by duty, and crowned by legacy. To be chosen as the King’s Advisor is not merely to serve, but to shape the destiny of Kandasa with insight and courage. The golden leaf above one's door is more than a summons; it is a symbol that one has not only proven worthy but become the living bridge between tradition and the future of elven kind.
