Sorry in being a bit slow in making this information more available, but here t'is!


<------------------------------------>



Grand Vizier: This role is traditionally filled by a male, more often than not of old age and great wisdom. The only other person, with the obvious exception of the Neferan, that enjoys as much prestige among their people as the Grand Vizier is the High Priestess of Khemet. Her influence, however, is limited to the religious sphere, whereas the Grand Vizier, having direct and constant access to the Neferan, usually gets to express his point of view regarding issues of any nature but the religious one. It is his the task to ensure that everything in Khemet runs smoothly, which mostly means replacing innefective personnel as well as carrying out judiciary decisions.

Mechanical Requirements: Must be highly active and know Khemetar lore very well.
Other Requirements: N/A
Bonus Items: Tax Free home of their choosing, access to the Khemetar Treasury, ability to appoint lesser Viziers as Foreign Emissaries when needed.
Titles: Prefix = 'Lord' RP Title = 'Grand Vizier of Khemet'


Kaphiri Mushir: The Mushir or 'one who directs' of the Kaphiri has authority over the Kaphiri secondary only to the Neferan, though they often report to the Grand Vizier as well, only one Kaphiri General at a time, obviously. The only way to obtain this position is to already be one of the Kaphiri, and be chosen for it by the Neferan or Grand Vizier if the current General dies/retires/gets stripped of his title/etc.

Mechanical Requirements: Must be trained with swords, and riding(Preferably the Weapon Specialist or Assassin class, but it isn't necessarily a requirement as long as you can fulfil the training).
Other Requirements: Must be active and the character must be suitable for the position.
Bonus Items: Likely they would be supplied with a high end Khopesh and suit of Khemetar Scaled Armour, if they use armour, and dont already have those things.
Titles: Prefix = 'Mushir' RP Title = 'of the Khemetar Kaphiri'


Kaphiri: As it states on the Khemetar Prestige Class section, either nobles or commoners are granted permission by the Neferan or Kaphiri General, with possible input from the Grand Vizier or Vashnir, to begin training as a Kaphiri, meaning you have to earn the ability to attempt (note the word ATTEMPT) to join the Kaphiri. The only people who the Kaphiri answer to, aside from their General, are the Neferan, Grand Vizier, and High Priestess. And their Duties often include acting as personal guards for the Grand Vizier and his lesser Viziers traveling abroad, as well as the High Priestess and the Priests or Priestesses under her, when needed. Though they are often called off to perform a variety of covert operations on behalf of the Neferan, to whom their loyalty goes first and foremost.

Mechanical Requirements: Must be trained with swords, and riding(Preferably the Weapon Specialist or Assassin class, but it isn't necessarily a requirement as long as you can fulfil the training).
Other Requirements: Must be active and the character must be suitable for the position.
Bonus Items: Likely they would be supplied with a high end Khopesh and suit of Khemetar Scaled Armour, if they use armour, and dont already have those things.
Titles: Prefix = N/A RP Title = 'the Khemetar Kaphiri'



Vashnir: On the top of the military hierarchy and assigned by the Grand Vizier himself, the Vashnir, or simply Commander, is a man of great importance and prestige among the Khemetar. He is expected to lead the army in times of war, as well as to train it and to appoint its officers. As far as law enforcement is concerned, the Vashnir is also entitled to deliberate the innocence or guilt of people arrested for petty crimes, such as thievery or assault, as well as to decide their punishment. On the occasion of more serious crimes, the Grand Vizier must be saught for a judgement to occur. If he is nowhere to be found within a period of twenty-four hours, then either a Vizier is consulted if present or the Vashnir carries out the judgement himself.

Mechanical Requirements: Must not be a Rogue, Cleric, or Crafter Class (Assassins, however, are permitted, though Bounty Hunter might be more effective, it isn't a requirement).
Other Requirements: Must be active and the character must be suitable for the Army, must also know the laws of Khemet and actively update the Guard Board as needed.
Bonus Items: Access to the Khemetar Guard Board (controls the AI of the NPC Guards, who they attack/dont attack/arrest/etc), Ownership of the Guard Barracks, and a free room in the barracks.
Titles: Titles: Prefix = 'Vashnir' RP Title = 'of the Khemetar Army'



Kuliakh: the Kuliakh, or Captain, is responsible for enlisting and training each individual soldier, as well as patroling the city’s vicinities in the company of any available personnel. In times of war, it is common for the Vashnir to appoint more than one Kuliakh to lead their batalions in combat. However, when war is not imminent, one Kuliakh is usually enough.

Mechanical Requirements: Must not be a Rogue, Cleric, or Crafter Class (Assassins, however, are permitted, though Bounty Hunter might be more effective, it isn't a requirement).
Other Requirements: Must be active and the character must be suitable for the Army, must also know the laws of Khemet and actively update the Guard Board as needed.
Bonus Items: Access to the Khemetar Guard Board (controls the AI of the NPC Guards, who they attack/dont attack/arrest/etc), Co-Ownership of the Army Barracks, and a free room in the barracks.
Titles: Titles: Prefix = 'Kuliakh' RP Title = 'of the Khemetar Army'



Mnemaran: The bulk of the army are the Mnemaran, or Soldiers simply put. They are primarily divided into mounted and foot soldiers and further categorized depending on whether they fight from close quarters or afar. They are responsible for upholding the law and defending Khemet against invaders, having but a low amount of prestige while at this stage of their careers. However, a Mnemaran that excels in battle or in law enforcement might receive the honour of being called an Akhis Mneraman, or, in other words, a Veteran Soldier.

Mechanical Requirements: Must not be a Rogue, Cleric, or Crafter Class (Assassins, however, are permitted, though Bounty Hunter might be more effective, it isn't a requirement).
Other Requirements: Must be active and the character must be suitable for the Army, must also know the laws of Khemet.
Bonus Items: A tax-free room in the barracks (The Khemetar Army generally doesn't adopt a standard uniform, as it only makes it easier for criminals to see them coming).
Titles: Titles: Prefix = 'Mnemaran' RP Title = 'of the Khemetar Army'



High Priestess: The highest position within the Khemetar’s religious structure is that of the High Priestess of Mah’tet. Only a woman may ascend to this rank and she is the only one who can preside over the rites and ceremonies in honour of the goddess. The only other position among the Khemetar’s society of similar power and prestige, with the exception of the Neferan, is that of the Grand Vizier. Although the High Priestess does not have a say in as many and different issues as he does, she, however, has a greater impact on the populace and is both feared and revered for her relation with Mah’tet.

Mechanical Requirements: Must be of the Cleric Class.
Other Requirements: Must be active, and know as much as possible about Khemetar religion.
Bonus Items: Priestess Robe + Staff. 'Ownership' of the bedrooms in the Pyramid, so she can give them to Priest/esses, also her own room in the Cathedral, tax free. Access to the Donation Boxes.
Titles: Prefix = 'High Priestess' RP title = 'of the Khemetar'


Priest/esses: The second most important religious rank in Khemet is that of the Priest or Priestess of each one of the other deities. These men and women work in the same way that the High Priestess does towards Mah’tet. They are the ones entrusted with presiding over the specific rites and ceremonies related to the deity they represent, as well as to extend their religious teachings to the populace.

Mechanical Requirements: Must be of the Cleric Class.
Other Requirements: Must know at least the basics of Khemetar religion, and especially their diety.
Bonus Items: Priest/ess Robe + Staff. Ability to live within the Pyramid, tax free.
Titles: Prefix = N/A RP title = 'the Khemetar Priest/ess'



Trade Official: The trade official, or Caravan Leader, is the head merchant in charge of organizing trade caravans to visit foreign allied nations.

Mechanical Requirements: Must be of a Merchant Class.
Other Requirements: None, but skill with Linguistics would be preferable.
Titles: Prefix = Tradesman RP title = 'of Khemet'



Khalasha (Nobility): There are some citizens in Khemet who are regarded as Khalasha for as long as they fill a certain position within the society. Those are: the Grand Vizier, the Vizier, the High Priestess, Priests and Priestesses, the Vashnir, the Kuliakh, the Kaphiri and the Trade Official. These men and women have the right to visit foreign lands as long as that does not compromise the duties they are expected to perform. Moreover, they are the only Khemetar citizens who can receive outlanders as guests within their household. Other than those rights, they are also to be treated by the rest of the populace with utmost respect and to be regarded as a higher priority in everything.. In Addition, every Spring, during the festivities in honour of Mah’tet and the renewal of the cycle of life, citizens are expected to make donations to The Throne. The most substantial ones often come from the craftsmen. The six families that donate the largest amounts of gold, resources, or wares, whose value must exceed at least ten gold coins, are given a temporary, year-long Writ of Passage that not only grants them the opportunity to travel abroad and to receive foreign guests in their households, but also entitles them to the status of Khalasha, the Khemetar nobility.

Mechanical Requirements: None.
Other Requirements: Mentioned above.
Bonus Items: A 'Writ of Passage' from the Neferan.
Titles: Prefix = N/A RP title = 'the Khemetar Khalasha' (these titles are replaced by the titles of official positions, if the individual has one).



There may, at the Neferan's discretion, be additional positions now and then, if the need arises. But such positions are not standard and should not be the goal of your character, as the Neferan or Grand Vizier might not find a need for such a position to be filled at the time.

I am just going to expand on Typhon's initial list for available positions:


Available positions within Khemet:

Mechanical requirements for all postions: Must be of Cleric class, must know as much as possible about all Gods/Goddesses, especially the one they are assigned to. {I will also be expanding on dieties soon as well}. Must also know all aspects of whatever branch they will be assigned to [military, death rituals, etc].

- The highest ranking religious official of Khemet, this position can only be held by a female. This positions duties include, but are not limited to: all relations with religious figures from other cities, conducting birth and death ceremonies, and all religious duties during the Spring festival of Mah'tet during the month of Elysius.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited, to: Giving the Mnemeran blessings before battle and before heavy combat, protection of the sacred library, giving new members of the Mnemeran their blessing.

Responsibilites include, but are not limited, to: Assisting the High Priestess in Death ceremonies, blessing the Mnemeran before any overnight excursions through the desert, any post-sunrise ceremonies that do not correspond with another diety.

Duties include, but are not limited, to: Blessing of the ships that come to our city to trade, he has a very important job in times of war, he will escort the entire army into battle to keep them blessed and to keep their minds clear in times of chaos.

Temple workers:

This is where all priests and priestesses will begin their work and duties. They are to maintain the temple at all times, and assist the other secondary priests and priestesses, as well as the High Priestess, whenever needed. In turn, it is the duty of the higher Priests and Priestesses to ensure that the temple workers learn about all aspects of the Gods and Goddesses.

Other available postions:

Viziers: Whereas the Grand Vizier is the primary assistant to the Neferan, and has dealings with all incoming visitors to Khemet; the lesser Viziers are the representatives aborad and report directly to the Grand Vizier. Because of his importance to the city and the Neferan, the Grand Vizier must stay within Khemet whenever necessary. If official business must be conducted abroad, an assigned Vizier will travel to meet with this other nation's leaders. [However, if no Viziers are available, the Grand Vizier may go in their stead in an emergency]

Mechanical requirements: Preferred scholar class, although fighting classes could be accetable.
Other requirements: Must be well knowledged in Khemetar law and ways, and also well knowledged in the laws and customs of whatever nation(s) they are assigned to. Know the map well, and be able to travel to other nations without getting lost.
Bonus items: None
Titles: Prefix: 'Vizier' RP Title- None

Festival assistants: The Khemetar are all about celebration, and festivals are held often to honour the dieties, the Neferan, and also the city herself. Festival assistants will help with planning and preparing for festivals, they will assign others to decorate, cook, etc.

This position is open to anyone who wishes to help with festivals, there are no mechanical or other types of requirements.

As far as I know there are a few Khalasha, a Vashnir..uh.. Maybe a few Priest/esses?

Barely any of those positions are now, or ever have been, filled. For whatever reason, no one's ever really tried as far as I know except for maybe a couple people who don't seem to be around anymore.

there's usually nothing exact, all depends on what position you're going for. Be the kind of person that the government would take notice of, play that character, and then ask to be given the position and the powers to back up your efforts.
