Enginseer (En-juhn-seer)
Qualifications
Metal Ox originally gave the title to Ascalong for his exceptional talent for artifice and divination. However, the title could in theory go to any individual with a strong grasp of magic or even just a talent for the creation of the construct races that inhabit the Isle.
Requirements
While no formal requirements have been outlined for the title, Metal Ox has made it clear that only a person with a talent for magic and artifice can hold the position. Also, it could perhaps be inferred that a level of mastery over the craft of creating and modifying the constructed races may also be a requirement due to Ascalong's work on the vect and warforged alongside Metal Ox.
Appointment
Metal Ox appoints the rank directly during a ceremony held in front of the entire court.
Responsibilities
The Enginseer's duties are varied.
The Enginseer is the foremost authority on magic in Metal Ox's court. He performs any magical services required by his Emperor. In addition, he oversees the construction of new vect and warforged. The Enginseer also conducts research and experiments, either by their own tender or by the word of their liege lord. The Enginseer also serves as an advisory figure for the Emperor of the Iron Isle.
Benefits
Politically, the title comes with much power as the Enginseer is placed in a position within the court of the Emperor of the Iron Isle that allows them to work directly with the monarch and act as an advisor on many topics related to magic, the vect, and the warforged.
Grounds for Removal/Dismissal
There are no strict rules for the revocation of the title.
