 King Hosric IV - generally favorably viewed by the populace as things in the kingdom seem to be going well, but he is rarely seen outside the castle. There are rumors that the person seen as the king is often a stand-in so that the actual Hosric IV can sneak off in disguise. (The symbol of the monarchy is no longer a crown. It used to be, but there was an assassination attempt on Hosric I. Being one of the last Adventurers of the kingdom in those days, he survived the struggle with the assassin but the crown was crushed in the fight. Instead of having a new one made, he had the crown refashioned into a half-face mask which has been used as the symbol of royalty ever since. This makes it a bit easier for a hypothetical stand-in to pose as the ruling monarch.)  The rumors vary depending on the attitude of source of the rumor towards the king. Some speculate he's sneaking off to spend time with secret lovers, some say he's leading exploratory expeditions trying to relive the Adventurous glory-days of his great-great-grandfather, some say he's secretly mingling with the regular populace to find out what people really think of him, some accuse him of some nefarious dealing with foreign nations, creatures from the deep, dark ocean, or infernal forces. And, of course, many say these rumors are all nonsense and he's just a sheltered, slightly-inbred introvert. King Hosric IV - generally favorably viewed by the populace as things in the kingdom seem to be going well, but he is rarely seen outside the castle.

-Elder Stanley Wright - "Groom of the Holy Edifice" formally, or "facilities manager" if you want a less formal description. He's in charge of maintenance and upkeep of the Temple of Karosh, including the hiring, paying, and directing of workers and craftspersons who build, repair, and clean the structures and furnishings of the temple. There are plenty of people with plumbing skills, as might be expected for the elaborate waterworks in the temple of the water god.+Elder Stanley Wright - "Verger of the Holy Edifice" formally, or "facilities manager" if you want a less formal description.
