It will either be appointed by people who control resources in the nation that gains control of Reikos, or subject to open auction. If appointed, the Seat will serve until the Summer Solstice 380YE where it will again be up for appointment.
  • Bailiff of the Grand Market: This Marcher ministry brings the ability to purchase trade goods and the responsibility for looking after the markets and roads of the Marches and keeping them clear of bandits.
