Robemaster

14th Century Post Imperium: The Robemaster is the designer of all Robes of office. Each one is individually made for its wearer, and is regarded as a personal portrait of the office-bearer. Each is replicated in miniature for the Archives, a record left behind when the original is destroyed on the office-bearer's death or when she in some other way relinquishes her position. These records are what is seen here. Robemasters are women. Most Irisaqi positions are theoretically held by men, but some seem to separate out - for instance, the Master of the Mines, by the very nature of the requirements of office, is mostly held by a man. Robemaster is the direct opposite,; it seems that the particular type of creativity needed is more frequently found in Irusaqi females, so that the office has come to be the exclusive province of women. Robemasters are very highly regarded, and the position has come to hold great power, not derectly, but because of the influence she can wield. Robemasters deal with everyone; go everywhere; know everything. Traditionally a Robemaster is always one of the three Imperium heads of office and acts as a major figurehead and spokesman in Irisaqi affairs. The last Robe to be designed by a retiring officer is that of her successor, and the only symbolism required by law is the representation of the Robe somewhere on the work, otherwise the designer has complete freedom.
