Arsuran Noble
The position of ruling noble is one of the highest ones that can be granted in Arsura, just under that of Emperor. While this is a position of power, it is not without its troubles and is never infallible. Under Ralcius Domarien, any noble who is malicious or deceitful will have their title stripped and their position granted to one more suited to preside over that area.
Qualifications
While the qualifications for being a noble are vague in written form, they generally follow the ideals of the presiding emperor. Under the current Emperor of Arsura, this would amount to merit, skill, and a just and true nature.
Duties
The obligations of a noble are similar to that of a lord and council member in another kingdom. Here, they are one in the same. The noble presides over a portion of the island, ruling the towns and cities within. But, will also advise the sitting emperor and participate in the larger covernment if they so choose.
Grounds for Removal/Dismissal
As stated before, should a noble directly or indirectly cause their pressiding territory to falter under their own actions, they can and will be removed by the emperor. Should this be: exploitation, extreme taxation, unjust laws or punishments, or anything that may bring about needless suffering of citizens and the area as a whole.
