Lord Commander of the Temple Guard
The Elder council approves the creation of a new elder rank "Lord Commander of the Temple Guard". Their duty is to oversee distribution of guards at our temples, increasing garrison numbers at temples that may be under threat and decreasing them at temples that are safe and have no need for them. Directly defending temples when necessary and possible would also be encouraged. The Lord Commander's authority will permit them to hire or fire temple guards, and enlarge temples in order to better defend them. Like other elders they must announce their intentions before taking official action and allow two days time for any objections.
The Lord Commander will be entitled to borrow up to 200 gold from the treasury and will receive a grant of 20 gold per month, with which to hire new guards. If these resources are insufficient they may request additional funds be deposited at a temple of their choice. Fulfilling such requests is at the discretion of any noble of the church who wishes to donate and no one is under any obligation to do so.
Though the Lord Commander holds elder rank they are not officially members of the Elder Council. They do not vote nor can they officially introduce a matter to vote upon. They may be asked to report to the council or offered the opportunity to contribute to discussions. The elder council is under no obligation to share any deliberations with the Lord Commander.
The Lord Commander shall be selected by the Prophetess. She shall do so by issuing a call for applicants and hand selecting the one she feels makes the strongest proposal. The council will then have two days to vote on the selected candidate. They may vote to approve, veto, or call for a period of deliberation. If two days pass without a vote from either elder this shall be considered a vote of "no objection" and the candidate shall be made Lord Commander.
The Lord Commander shall serve for life unless they resign or are dismissed. Dismissal of the Lord Commander shall be by vote of the Elder council. When voting the council shall state if they are being dismissed honorably or dishonorably. When the post of Lord Commander becomes vacant it is at the Prophetess' discretion whether or not to appoint a new one.
