A steward is the chosen head of a [[Marcher Household]]. The title is appropriate to both men and women.
The steward of the household that controls the largest amount of land in a territory selects the Senator to represent that territory. The steward might have the land-majority through the possessions of their own household, but it is also common for one to have the support of smaller households who swear allegiance to them.
 
=== Warden ===
A Warden is the steward of the household that controls the largest amount of land in a territory. They serve as one of the Marcher Generals.
 
Wardens appoint the Senator that represents their territory to the Empire. This makes them distinct from other generals, who are appointed by the Senators.
 
A Warden might have the land-majority through the possessions of his own household, but it is also common for one to have the support of smaller households, sworn to their own.


While stewards commonly own land themselves, it is not a requirement - the support of the household is all that matters.
