Châtelain

Châtelains were an order of castle managers.

Each castle across the Hundish Realm was staffed by a single châtelain. Many hundreds of them served the Mindhalders.

Châtelains were charged with keeping castles in working order. They were believed to have a spoken language only they could understand.

Real-world equivalent
Châtelains were a real-life position given to managers of castles in medieval times. Their name came from the French word château meaning "caslte."

Called "castellans " in English, these men acted both as managers of domestic staff within the castle, and in times of war, as a military leader in a castle's defense.
