	The [[appraisal]] will not be easy. It would be relatively uncomplicated for Graciana to look into ways the Empire might increase the number of commissions they can handle each season, and equally possible to consider the opportunities that might be had by constructing a new university in Temeschwar. What makes it much more challenging is trying to do both at the same time: to find a way to increase the number of commissions available to the Empire by building a university in Temeschwar.

	Appointed annually by the [[~~Imperial~~ Bourse]] using [[Tally of the Votes]], the Master of Rings would be able to oversee a single civilian commission each season, [[Senate announcement\|announcing]] the work in the Imperial Senate. This commission would not count against the normal maximum number of commissions available to the Imperial Senate. The requirement that the Master be allowed to announce civilian commissions is very precise - it would include the ability to commission a [[fane\|fane]], as well as any future commission types that might be uncovered. There is some concern about whether the Senate would be prepared to give that kind of power to a new title, but Graciana points out that a fane is useless unless it is [[Powers_of_the_Imperial_Senate#Concedence\|ceded]] to an eternal and that power is in the hands of senators.

	In addition, the Master of Rings would receive contributions from the wealthy citizens of Temeschwar, and from the other University faculties. Large amounts of material passes through Temeschwar both from [[Varushka]] and via the [[Northern trade network]], and such support would allow the Master to secure amounts of [[white granite]], [[mithril]], and [[weirwood]] each season. While the obvious intention is that these materials could be used to help build whatever commission the Master was working on, they could also potentially be sold at a profit to secure other materials or pay labour costs.

	The Blood Red Builder would be an [[Imperial title]] appointed by the Assembly of Ambition each year.

Becoming an inspiration to others is seen by many as being a worthy goal in itself, and as such they could easily be persuaded to turn their enthusiasm toward constructing suitably grand tombs for those who lack them.

	After lengthy consultation with a number of wealthy Temeschwari citizens, Graciana outlines a grand plan to create a new university building in Temeschwar. A set of dishevelled slums on the north side of the city would be demolished to make way for the grand edifice. The centrepiece of the designs is a curved glass dome over a central atrium leading to large lecture rooms on all sides of the chamber. The new facilities would raise the profile and prestige of the University of Temeschwar to rival that of Holberg and Sarvos. While the planned school of engineering might take decades to develop a reputation and pedigree as impressive as that of the City of Holberg it would provide valuable instruction to a new generation of architects and engineers.
