	Years ago, when the [[Comes a time\|Temple of the Waking Dream was first proposed]], it was not the only option available.

	Bronwen's proposal supersedes the [[opportunity]] that was [[Crimson_and_green#Under_an_Oak_(Therunin)\|offered]] in Winter 387YE.

	When the [[Apothecaries Guild]] was first established, the [[Scrutiny#Constitutional_Court\|Constitutional Court]] offered guidance that there was no requirement for a college of the apothecary arts to fall under the purview of the Imperial Sodality. They have since offered new guidance, revising their original position. The Court are currently [[preparing a report]] on the Artisans Guild and they are strongly minded to rule that the Guild must have authority over the Empire's [[runeforge\|runeforges]] if it is to meet the needs of the manifesto proposed by the Throne. The legal parallel with the Apothecary's Guild is overwhelming and demands that the two sodalities be treated the same.

	However, Bronwen argues that the requirement to involve the Apothecaries Guild is actually a ''benefit''. The Gardens of the Heart would provide a huge benefit to the occupants of Miaren, but they would also provide a big boost to the prestige and power of the new sodality. If the nation embraced membership of the sodality, they might be able to work with members of the guild from other nations to raise the funds needed to build the Gardens. It may be impossible for either the Navarr or the sodality to arrange the construction alone, but maybe not if they worked together?

	The Gates of Holmauer Park allow the League to charge admission to the wonders of that Winter-cursed locale. Yet even the people of Holberg must admit that everyone would feel a little safer with some active presence of people ready to leap in in the unlikely event flesh-hungry ghouls burst out of hiding and start eating visitors. An office to oversee a small contingent of dedicated watch, given the power to reallocate the funds raised by visitors, would provide several benefits. The ''Holmauer Watchcaptain'' would look after the [[Gates of Holmauer Park]], and be responsible for ensuring that any threats arising within, or as a consequence of the [[Winter magic]] the infuses the park, are dealt with efficiently. It would make sense to ensure they had access to the crystal mana that might be needed to put down an incursion of ravenous [[Inhabitants of the realms#Boggarts\|boggarts]], or confront a [[coven]] of [[Agramant]] cultists bent on turning everyone in ~~Holberb~~ into cannibals. For example.		The Gates of Holmauer Park allow the League to charge admission to the wonders of that Winter-cursed locale.

	When the [[Apothecaries Guild]] was first established, the [[Scrutiny#Constitutional_Court\|Constitutional Court]] offered guidance that there was no requirement for a college of the apothecary arts to fall under the ~~perview~~ of the Imperial Sodality. They have since offered new guidance, revising their original position. The Court are currently [[preparing a report]] on the Artisans Guild and they are strongly minded to rule that the Guild must have authority over the Empire's [[runeforge\|runeforges]] if it is to meet the needs of the manifesto proposed by the Throne. The legal parallel with the Apothecary's Guild is overwhelming and demands that the two sodalities be treated the same.

	Of course, by that logic, the Imperial Conclave should be the only body able to direct the research of the Empire's colleges of magic. An exception can justified for the [[Doyen of the Spires]] on the grounds that that college is completely unique - it is utterly reliant on the distinctive magical skills of the Urizen and could never be reproduced in a similar form ~~elsewhre~~. Sadly, legal consistency fails with regard to the [[Construct_Barossa_University_of_Dramaturgical_Arts\|Barossa University of Dramaturgical Arts]] which is a national bourse appointment, but that can't used as legal precedent because in the words of [[Scrutiny#Constitutional_Court\|''Magistrate Abraham'']] ''"it is a constitutional abomination which should never have been allowed to pass"''.

	As such, as long as the Apothecaries Guild continues to exist to ''coordinate and support the research, development, and dissemination of ingredients, potions, poisons, antidotes, and drugs to Imperial citizens'' then a vote of the Guild would be the [[New_Imperial_titles#Well_Worn_Paths\|well worn path]] for directing the research done by any apothecarion's college.
