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.

[describe history] Court System In 1837, the roles of the Augustine were outlined in a document approved by HIM John VIII. See: [5]. These reforms- the Casimiran Reforms -were the final revision of the Petrine-era court systems remembered to this day, and the final use of the 'Governor' position within the palace. Governor of the Augustine The Governor was the head of the Imperial Courts, and served at the discretion of the Crown. Majordomo of the Augustine The Majordomo served as a second in command to the Governor and acted in full capacity in the absence of a Governor. 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. They were also charged with directing and employing tutors of the courts, and assuring the next generation was properly educated in the legacy, culture, and knowledge of the Empire. Master of the Keys The Master of the Keys managed the apartments within the Imperial Courts, as well as all the locks within the Palace. He assured that only those most qualified Orenians may have accessed the various parts of the Palace, and maintained a set of standards for those entitled to an apartment. Captain of the Fourth Brigade The Captain of the Fourth brigade served as the de facto Chief of Security within the Palace, and was appointed at the discretion of the General of the Imperial State Army. 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. Director of the Event Committee The director of the Imperial Event Committee served as the president of the Event Committee. They were in charge of administering and providing resources for state sponsored events both within the courts and throughout the empire. They directed the committee and assured both the economic and cultural growth of the Empire through their events. Notable Socialites Wilhelmina of Cathalon, the former Empress-to-be as wife to Prince John Charles, the Duke of Helena and Furnestock. Divorced and banished. Amadea of Pompourelia, the Late Empress-to-be as first wife to Prince Philip Aurelian. Charlotte of Aldersberg, an imperial princess and former Crown Princess as second wife to Prince Philip Aurelian. Anna Henrietta of Provins, the Former Governor of the Palace. Mary Casimira of Carrington, the Former Governor of the Palace. Maisie of Sunholdt, a mother-figure to a majority of Augustine youths. Public Perception The Petrine Courts were frequently ridiculed by the public as a place of ignorant indulgence by 'impious privileged women and their adulterous cohorts in men'. Its public perception was scandal-ridden, with various women and men once tied to the courts going on to become markers of infidelity and nescience towards the struggles of the lesser advantaged. The most particular case of this ridicule was directed entirely to those who would be known as the close friends of Prince Philip Aurelian. His first wife, Amadea of Pompourelia, was among the most corrupt, the little audiences she held with commoners often ending on sour notes and with many noting her reckless habits of drinking and consumption of expensive treats, as well as the mollycoddling of their imperial children. His lover, Governor Mary Casimira of Carrington, only exemplified this by revealing her adultery with the Prince, which led to his ultimate death at the hand of her blade. Before this, his second wife, Charlotte of Aldersberg, was whispered to be a nepotist at large, her curation of the Social Season showing extreme preference to singularly her daughters.
