	'''Bishop Calissida di Tassato Regario'' has proposed that the Orchard become a place of pilgrimage not for citizens of the League, nor for citizens of the Marches, but for those who wish to meditate on the bonds and costs of Loyalty. Especially the Loyalty that saw Imperial armies fight in the blighted soil of Druj-dominated Holberg to help free the city, even while their own homes lay far away. it is up to the Loyalty assembly to decide if they wish to agree with this proposal.

	If this mandate were passed it would encourage a number of wayfarers plagued by questions of Loyalty to come to Holberg to view the Garden. As a result, the Memorial Garden would be effectively transformed into a small shrine dedicated to that virtue. If this happened then the [[~~Imperial~~ Senate]] could authorise the creation of a title to oversee the Garden, the ''Guardian of Heart's Truth'' perhaps. The title would provide 14 votes and 7 doses of liao to whichever citizen was appointed to tend to the Garden and the visiting pilgrims, chosen by the Assembly of Loyalty each year.

	There are more rats in Holberg, but the [[Custodian of the Kennels]] and ''Georgie's House'' have done an excellent job of meeting the challenge they present. So much so that there has been increased interest from other cities - and not just in the League. Rats are a fact of life in any urban setting, as the citizens of the League, [[Mitwold#Meade\|Meade]], [[Madruga#Siroc\|Siroc]], [[Bastion#The White City\|Bastion]], [[Hahnmark#Kalpaheim\|Kalpaheim]], and even [[Skarsind#GIldenheim\|Gildenheim]] are all too aware. It is becoming an increasing badge of pride to own a graduate of Georgie's House - and as well as private citizens several professional fraternities of vermin exterminators have expressed interest in sourcing their small but vicious dogs from the kennels of Holberg.

	This presents an [[opportunity]]. At the moment, ''Georgie's House'' is stretched to capacity by the demand for trained ratters. If it is to take advantage of that demand, it will need bigger premises and yet more staff. One way to achieve this would be to purchase the buildings to either side of the kennels. Preliminary approaches has suggested that the owners of the buildings are both prepared to sell - especially as it will mean getting away from a flourishing kennels and dog-training school.

	All that would be required would be a Senate motion to amend the kennels (which would count against the Senates limited number of commissions each season), and an investment of 23 ~~Crowns~~, and the premises could be even further expanded. The sinecure would then provide an additional 100 rings each season. More important perhaps would be the prestige - the knowledge that the humble kennels has grown to provide skilled hunters not only to Holberg, but to cities across the Empire.
