History

In June 2006, the position of Master at Arms was retired, and - with the Keeper becoming more active in supervising all departments - there was a need for this role. Although the role itself existed from this point the Department was not created until the 2009 Admin Meeting.

This role has never been open to applicants, although this will not always be the case. Both Arisaema Draconis and Ubahsur Kindellaer were offered first refusal on the role as consistent contributing members with the necessary real life experience for the role.

Directors

• Ubahsur Kindellaer: October 22, 2009 - present
• Arisaema Draconis: June 29, 2006 - October 22, 2009
