Trademaster General

Ashdan's Trademaster General is an government official in charge of overseeing trade and economic development for Ashdan.

Origins
Unlike their counterparts, the Ashdanic Archmage, the Trademaster General is a role that emerged centuries after the formation of the country, once the economy grew beyond the royal family's ability to oversee it carefully. A loyal cousin of Queen Resol was chosen to oversee trade agreements.

Role
The role of Trademaster General grew slowly. It was several decades before the royal family found it necessary to divest a second set of powers to their appointed officials.
