The Dawn Kingdom only had seven top ministers total, each position representing centuries of carefully maintained political balance and aristocratic tradition. The Hand of the King wielded the most comprehensive power, serving as the kingdom's chief administrator and the monarch's primary advisor in all matters of state. While the other six ministers each commanded different spheres of authority—military affairs, foreign relations, internal governance, judicial matters, trade regulation, and financial oversight—they were all beings who had climbed to stand at the kingdom's absolute peak through decades of political maneuvering, noble birthright, or exceptional service to the crown.
The Finance Minister controlled the national treasury's income and expenditure. All the country's major spending and revenue were in his grasp. Even the king couldn't easily change things.
