Steward is a period term for someone who is in charge of something. As cook
is a period term for someone who prepares food (feastocrat).
I, for one, do not like the proliferation of '-ocrat' titles. Some of them
just get plain silly. Like nasty-crat for the person who cleans the privys.
Then there is the land-ocrat, equi-crat, trollocrat, thisocrat and
thatocrat.
If there are period titles for jobs, lets use them. If there aren't period
titles, don't just stick -ocrat after the end of the function.
