Bursar of the House of Spirits

Overview

The Bursar of the House of Spirits oversees the House of Spirits in Casinea. The House of Spirits is a remote campus that serves to host students from the College of Necromantia in the Halls of Maykop. It was commissioned by the Imperial Senate during the Winter Solstice 383YE and completed shortly before the Spring Equinox 384YE.

Responsibilities

The Bursar of the House of Spirits serves as liaison to students who visit and make use of the House of Spirits. In the event that the House of Spirits was threatened, they would be expected to deal with those threats.

Powers

Ilium
23 Crowns	1 ring of ilium
48 Crowns	2 rings of ilium
75 Crowns	3 rings of ilium
105 Crowns	4 rings of ilium
138 Crowns	5 rings of ilium

Ministry

As a ministry, the Bursar can purchase rings of ilium at a set price. The Bursar spends their money and makes their choices during downtime from their character page. Money is removed from, and resources are placed into, the character's inventory when the downtime is processed.

Appointment

This title is appointed during the Spring Equinox. The Bursar of the House of Spirits is appointed by citizens of Highguard who control congregation personal resources. The larger the congregation an individual has, the more votes they can allocate in support to a candidate. The voting is handled by the civil servants in the Bourse.

Only a Highborn citizen may hold the title. They do not receive a seat on the Bourse. As a title appointed through the Bourse they cannot be revoked by the Imperial Synod.

The Title in Play

The role does not provide additional information about events in the Empire, nor allow the player holding it to request special reports or downtime actions. These details are assumed to be below the abstraction layer. The title holder is encouraged to create their own stories about their activities within reasonable limits and to get involved in events appropriate to their title during the game, but they do not have any powers beyond those explicitly listed in the section on powers.

These details exist partly to provide context and character to the role - and partly to allow our writers to use the title as a plot hook. Plot that involves the position will be rare - but all the campaign positions in Empire have these details to create the potential for it to happen.
