The Court of Oren is the standing system of courtiers and councilors that reside within the imperial palace of the Holy Orenian Empire beside the ruling house, currently the House of Novellen. The imperial court is a vital part of Orenian society and has been for centuries, being a hotspot of cultural enterprise and the upkeep of high society. However, it is also a point of great controversy and criticism since the Dawn of Oren as a result of the pomp and exclusivity exuded as a place of strict hierarchy between noble and commoner that is rivaled by little other courts. A strong court has been an integral part of a strong government since the times of the Horen Restoration, when the palace morphed into a center of activity, and a performance of power and unity. Throughout orenian history, there have been countless court reformations, declines, scandals and etc, that have happened in the courts, with more recent periods seeing a stagnancy in the functions of court positions.

Notable courts include that of John III and his consort Julia of Furnestock's, which is a court that holds remembrance in history for its exhibitions of art and power. Another would be that of the Emperor of Man, Augustus and his consort Helen of Carolustadt's, with the presence of Maria Viktoria of Krajia, a beloved socialite who molded the courts and fashions of Renatus at her will.

Present Day; The Augustine Court

The Imperial Augustine Palace, originally constructed by famous architect John Henry, Prince of Pruvia, though it often undergoes renovations with the interior and exterior, the most popular of which being the installation of a garden by HIH the Count of Aldersberg, Joseph Leopold. Serving as the home of His Imperial Majesty and his family as well as the many noble courtiers he so graciously offers housing to, the palace is the crown jewel of Providence. Most importantly within the Augustine is His Majesty’s many courtiers, and staff that certainly keep the palace moving as it always has in allowing for a mark to be made on the Empire as a whole from within the pristine walls of the palace.

Most importantly within the Augustine was His Majesty’s many courtiers, and staff that kept the palace moving as it always had in allowing for a mark to be made on the Empire as a whole from within the pristine walls of the palace.

In 1837, the roles of the Augustine were outlined in a document approved by HIM John VIII. See: [5]. These reforms created new roles aside from the Governor and Majordomo, and reorganized the system beneath these two positions:

Lord Seneschal The Lord Seneschal directed all employees of the Imperial Palace. These laborers may have included servants, butlers, musicians, physicians, etc. They organized and provided services for the Courtiers during both events and daily life. It was the responsibility of the Lord Seneschal to ensure that laborers of their department were trained in both etiquette and efficient service.

He was responsible for assuring the safety of the Courtiers and the Imperial family, as well as organizing security for those highest ranking Orenians during events. In cases wherein the safety of the Courtiers, Orenian Officials, and members of the Imperial family was immediately threatened, the Captain of the Fourth may have assumed executive authority over the Courts, in order to assure their ongoing safety and protection.

They were in charge of administering and providing resources for state sponsored events both within the courts and throughout the empire.
