Clarence Clifford - Steward of Sterling House & Estates
Halfling
_______________________________________________________________________________________________ Steward:The Steward was a very high ranking man within the Lord’s employ. He managed all of the Lord’s estates as an entity, making sure that the Lord’s holdings were profitable overall, and that resources were used where needed, to balance out any issues that might occur in a single location. He generally worked closely with the Lord’s "man of business". The Lord’s man of business was similar to your family Solicitor or Lawyer today. He kept legal records for the Lord, assisted with investment and banking, drew up contracts, dealt with any legal issues and more. He was usually very trusted and had the deepest knowledge of the actual state of the Lord’s accounts. In the case of House Sterling, responsibilites of a Steward and Man of Business were all combined under one title, and one position- that of Steward.
