The position of '''Imperial Advisor''' was created in the Summer of 2004 by [[Kaiser Raynor XI]]. The position was created so that [[the Kaiser]] could get unbiased advice and help from some of the senior-most citizens in the nation.

#REDIRECT [[Imperial Advisory Council]]
Raynor's original plan was to put three people on the Council - a "yes man" a "maybe man" and a "no man". The yes man would be someone who tended to share the Kaiser's opinions, the no man would be someone who tended to disagree with the Kaiser, and the maybe man would be someone who was often neutral. Few Kaisers have chosen to follow his example.
 
 
 
 
 
== The Advisory Council ==
 
The Imperial Advisors meet in secret with the Kaiser and sometimes the [[Steward]] on the '''Imperial Advisory Council'''. In this secret council, the Kaiser may ask for the guidance of the advisors, or the advisors may make suggestions to the Kaiser without his asking.
 
 
 
Since its creation, the Council has been heavily used by Kaisers. There is no voting in the Council, and it holds no formal power in the Imperial government.
 
 
 
During the Fourth Era (started by [[Mors V]]), [[Leto III]] returned to the original plan of Raynor X by appointing a "yes man", a "no man" and a "maybe man".
 
 
 
== Selection of the Advisors ==
 
As the job of the Advisors is to help the Kaiser govern the nation, a good amount of experience is a prerequisite for the job of Advisor.
 
 
 
Typically, advisors have been citizens of Shireroth for years, and many have been former Kaisers themselves.
 
The idea behind selection was that the Kaiser ought to pick three advisors to serve him: one who shares his ideals, one who opposes his views, and one who is more or less neutral towards them. This theoretically allows the Kaiser to get a general overview of the spectrum of thought in the nation.
 
 
 
Nowadays the Imperial Advisors are usually composed of the [[Ministries|Imperial Ministers]], the heads of state of the [[Subdivision#Imperial States|Imperial States]] and such other individuals as the Kaiser deems worthy for service as Imperial Advisor.
