The Guild Wars Wiki has an article on Mad King's Steward.

Welcome to King Thorn's Labyrinth, <Profession/Elite Specialization>. My hollowed liege has dispatched me to aid his visitors' enjoyment and ritual combat. For a modest tithe, you may temporarily add services to the Labyrinth.

I'd like to commission a merchant.

For the sum of 1 gold, a merchant will be summoned for 5 minutes. Should one already be present, their shift will instead be extended by the same duration.

All right, I'll donate 1 gold to summon a merchant. (summons a Court Merchant)

Tell me about something else.

Hold that thought. I need to go collect some funds from the locals.

I'd like to commission an armor reinforcing service.

For the sum of 1 gold, a tailor will be summoned for 5 minutes to provide armor reinforcing...free of charge! Should one already be present, their shift will instead be extended by the same duration.

All right, I'll donate 1 gold to summon a tailor. (summons a Court Tailor)

Tell me about something else.

Hold that thought. I need to go collect some funds from the locals.

I'd like to add bank access.

For the sum of 1 gold, a banker will be summoned for 5 minutes. Should one already be present, their shift will instead be extended by the same duration.

All right, I'll donate 1 gold to summon a banker. (summons a Court Banker)

Tell me about something else.

Hold that thought—I need to go collect some funds from the locals.

I'd like to provide food for everyone to enjoy.

For the sum of 5 gold, a chef will be summoned for 5 minutes to provide refreshments. Should one already be present, their shift will instead be extended by the same duration.

All right, I'll donate 5 gold to summon a chef. (summons a Court Chef)

Tell me about something else.

Hold that thought. I need to go collect some funds from the locals.

I'd like to commission a mount rental service.

For the sum of 1 gold, a stablehand will be summoned for 5 minutes to provide raptor mounts. Should one already be present, their shift will instead be extended by the same duration.

All right, I'll donate 1 gold to summon a stablehand. (summons a Stablehand)

Thanks for your contribution to my historical documentation.

Think nothing of it. As ever, I only seek to fulfill King Thorn's vague whims.

Keep up the good work, then.

(If working on Mad Memorial)

Can you tell me about Mad King Thorn's rule over the Mad Realm?

(If Courtly Service isn't complete.)

My apologies, but His Majesty was quite specific about prioritizing the Labyrinth's amenities. Perhaps if you commission some of the available upgrades, I can regale you with historical anecdotes.

Ahh, I see how the system works around here.

(If completed Courtly Service)

Certainly, for a vassal of your dedication. In the beginning, of course, there was no Mad Realm. It was crafted by the magics and will of our enflamed ruler after his earthly demise.

The Mad King created this place?

Indeed, made possible by his eminent mastery of the fundamental elements—earth, fire, and candy corn. We of his court flocked to his banner, naturally.

Wait, candy corn?

Thereafter, with his work complete, his gourdliness has prepared for his inevitable return and celebratory vengeance upon Tyria.

Thanks. I'll make a record of your story. (receive Mad Memoires XV: Fabrication)

That doesn't explain...No, forget it.

This is ridiculous.

If I put this in a book, no one will believe it.

Thanks. I'll remember the Mad King's...benevolence.
