Imperial Warcaster
Overview
The Imperial Warcaster is an Imperial title in the Military Council created by the Imperial Senate during the Summer Solstice 384YE.
Responsibilities
The Warcaster is responsible for coordinating the arrangement of magical assistance for the armies of the Empire. The holder of the title is also expected to use their powers to liaise between the Conclave and the Council.
Powers
Addressing the Military Council
The Warcaster has the right to make a address to the Military Council once per summit. To use this power, the Warcaster must inform the Herald of the Council that they wish to make an address, which will then be added to the agenda for the next Council session.
The Key of Commitment
Heralds of Zakalwe provide the Imperial Warcaster with three crystalline tokens of the Hunter of Tides for as long as the Imperial Conclave maintains their interdiction on enchantments that make soldiers "savage". The crystalline tokens can be each used once to provide additional ranks to a performance of either Clarity of the Master Strategist or Carve the Crystal Guardian. For more information see the Hiearchs of sea and sky wind of fortune.
Appointment
The Warcaster is appointed by the Military Council. It is elected by simple majority of any members of the Military Council who are eligible to vote who are present when the election takes place. Appointments by the Military Council are traditionally carried out with a show of hands at a Council session.
The title is appointed during the Autumn Equinox. Any Imperial citizen may hold the post.
The Warcaster is appointed annually. They may be revoked by the General Assembly and by the Assembly of the Nine.
