High Speakers

Traditionally, the monarch of the kingdom chooses the High Speaker of the Minaret for lifelong service. The High Speaker’s duty is to study the ancient scripts of the minaret that define its unique magic based on inflections of voice and use this knowledge to serve the kingdom. There are always a handful of apprentices who assist the High Speaker and train in the arts of word-magic. The High Speaker and the apprentices announce important information and call the city to action if needed. In times of war, the High Speaker organizes major movements and commands the Minaret of the Speaker that serves as a magical defense for the city.
