	A seneschal is a trusted [[Yeofolk of Dawn\|yeofolk]] who oversees the financial affairs of a Dawnish [[noble house]]. It is considered very poor form for a noble, especially the earl of a house, to concern themself with money - it distracts them from focusing on their house's glory, after all - and so the seneschal is always a yeofolk. Many seneschals are employed from the ranks of those yeofolk farmers who manage their farms particularly well, while others are merchants whose competence have caught their earl's eye.

	The seneschal must ensure that the nobles of the house are solvent enough to arm and armour themselves, to go to war, and to throw banquets just as often as they want to. They must make sure that the noble house has a presence in the [[~~Imperial~~ Bourse]], and that its financial assets are not forgotten by relevant Senators and other important figures, even though the nobles of the house won't talk about them. They must oversee the entire house's assets, and ensure that it prospers; as such the seneschal can be one of the most powerful people in a noble house.
