Master of Tongues: Difference between revisions

Beginning in the 17th century it became customary for a retiring Master of Tongues to be appointed to rule over one of the vassal taifas in [[Rusana]]. Ethnic Daxian overlords had fared poorly with the natives in the past, once again the outsider status of a former Master of Tongues was perceived as useful in interactions with the Muslim population. The position of [[Imperial Viceroy (Daxia)|Imperial Viceroy]] was a significant upgrade in material conditions and prestige. Viceroys had their own palaces and security retinues and much larger yearly salaries, according to records the Imperial Viceroy of Ghanim was paid 85,000 imperial lire per year. Imperial Viceroys were also customarily ennobled after the end of their time in office, a powerful incentive to rule their domain well and keep its productivity up.
