Red Feather Battlemaster

The title of Red Feather Battlemaster is given to the winner of the Red Feather Tournament and given command of Chagroth's Tower and the Eldritch Army. The Battlemaster is expected to be a fearsome warrior, a wily wizard, and a skilled diplomat. They serve as the right hand of the Navigator of Worlds and the fate of our world often rests upon their decisions.

I know each of the Slices is free to choose their leaders however they want. It still kills me that the most powerful army in the world chooses its leader with a beauty pageant mixed with a song and dance competition!

The Red Feather Battlemancers are an elite force of mages who combine flight with overwhelming firepower. Based in Chagroth's Tower, their leader is the Commander of both the Tower and the whole of the Eldritch Army.

The Battlemaster serves at the pleasure of the Navigator of Worlds and he usually allows them to serve until the end of their commission. A few Battlemasters have served even after their death. None of them have ever been forced to resign.

As the Commander of the Tower, the Battlemaster is the de facto leader of all of the Kirinal Defenders. Although the Commanders of the other Fortresses around the Kirinal Pit are technically equal in rank, the Battlemaster is the protector of the Orrery of Worlds.

The first Battlemaster was Callisto Redwing, the second wife of Chagroth Durinhelm. She died in the Night of Black Feathers and the Red Feathers were defunct for decades afterwards.

The second Battlemaster Melosa Red Feather took up Callisto's blade and reformed the order of battle mages. She eventually ascended beyond the Crystal Sphere but left behind a successor and a strong organization that continues their legacy to this day.
