Steward



 A steward in the society of Nilfeheim  is a person who speaks, makes arrangements, or takes charge for another. Typically, the term refers to the highest  person of a household  who acts on behalf of the (often absent) owner of a (typically) large or significant residence.

Stewards are rare but not unknown in a Nilfeheim Clan. Often choosen if the actual clan chief is sick, absent or has died before his oldest  son is of age.

Until Elena Olafson it was unknown for a woman to become the head of a clan. After Elena died it took almost eighty years before another woman became a clan chief. So Stewards are still appointed.

The most famous of course was Isegrim Olafson who was the steward of the Ragnarsson Clan until Eric came of age.
