18.12 The Minister of State.

The Minister of State is the most prominent of ministerial roles and has access to the widest range of commands. This ministry is responsible for managing the treasury, overseeing trade, and maintaining the economy, as well as being responsible for the construction of various buildings and commodity stores. The Minister of State should be one of the most regularly present governmental figures, since the work of fashioning items and trading is an ongoing, demanding one. The Ministry of State tends to require the most Aides, but should always be given to a strong character, usually with skills of creation (such as an Alchemist, Loremaster or Artisan). The Minister usually works closely with the Minister for Trade, to ensure that the requirements for commodities do not exceed the Trade Ministry's ability to gather and purchase them.
