Positions of the Household
Master-at-Arms
Like any Noble House, House Embershield has a Master-at-Arms responsible for training new guardsmen, as well as the Houses children in combat and weaponry.
Current Master-at-Arms: Vacant
Lord-Steward
In the case that the Lord or Lady of House Embershield cannot perform their duties, the Lord-Steward takes up household command, ensuring all needs of the bannermen are answered, and other duties are finished as needed, such as patrol schedules, guard duty, filling of the larder with foods prior to winter, etc.
Current Lord-Steward: Vacant
Captain of the Guard
Whilst Lady Embershield can see to guarding herself, her people cannot. Thus, there lies a Captain of the Guard, who ensures that those under House Embershield are protected, as well as guarding areas such as the Embassy in Stormwind, and buildings of importance in East Lowes.
Vassal Houses
The Vassals of House Embershield are oft divided between Minor and Great, rather than by race. As such, there is a great distinction between the Great and Minor Houses; A Great House is normally in charge of the greater facets of land. For example, House Sunshatter holds dominion over the arcipelago of Aloras'zune, whilst House Whitebriar rules over Arcadia of Quel'Anaris.
