The Seneschal of the Barony of the Cleftlands is Cadfan of Cleftlands.

Definition

The Seneschal is the legal and administrative representative of the Barony. They work closely with the Baron and Baroness (Coronets) acting as an adviser on baronial policy and kingdom law to help guide decisions and to remain compliant. The Seneschal keeps the Coronets apprised of matters or issues within the Barony and Kingdom. They act as a member of the Financial Committee, which is comprised of the Seneschal, Exchequer, and the Baron and Baroness. The Seneschal will review event bids and prepare them for review by the Baronial Officers, will act as a Deputy Event Steward to all events, and act as the signatory for any contracts. They, or their deputy, will run meetings (generally weekly) and officer meetings as necessary to discuss business items.

The difference between the Baron and His Seneschal can be confusing to some, think of the Baron as the owner of the company and the Seneschal as the Chief Operating Officer. The Seneschal holds the keys to the castle, but the castle belongs to the Baron!
