Appointment

The Custodian is a Highborn appointment made by a judgement of the Highguard National Assembly. This is a national title and can only be held by a Highborn citizen.

As with most sinecures, this appointment has tenure. The assumption is that the Custodian retains the position until they die or step down. They can be revoked by a lesser majority of the General Assembly, the Assembly of the Nine, or by the Highborn National Assembly.
