Appointments become available in various months as detailed in the Yearly Calendar below and may be held for up to a year (ie until the time for their bestowal comes around again). Player character appointers cannot keep posts open in the month where the post is designated as being appointed in the Yearly Calendar. They will automatically be filled by an NPC unless a PC is appointed.
If a player seeks a position, but the appointer is vacant, the character who appoints the appointer stands as proxy and makes the appointment at the same die roll and needing the same favours as the absent appointer.
