The Guardian of Britta's Memorial is an Imperial title which was originally [[Construct_shrine_for_Britta's_body\|created]] by the [[Senate]] in Winter 376YE. The position of guardian was a [[sinecure]], requiring minimal responsibility but offering a regular income.

	Following the death of [[Empress Britta]] in 376YE, heroic efforts recovered her body and many of her effects from the [[Thule]] barbarians. The body was interred in the swamps of [[Kallavesa]] while her personal accoutrements were placed in a [[Necropolis#The Shrine of Britta\|shrine of white granite]] in [[Necropolis]]. The eternal flame that burns in the courtyard before the memorial serves as a place of pilgrimage for those wishing to meditate on and show their respects to the departed Empress, whose inspirational example is already seen by many as re-igniting the flame of Imperial [[Pride]] following the disastrous reigns of [[Empress Giselle]], [[Emperor Hugh]] and [[Emperor Walter]].
