	The Guardian of Giselle's Tomb is an Imperial title [[Construct tomb for Empress Giselle\|created]] by the [[Senate]] in Autumn 380YE.

			In 387YE, the body of [[Empress Giselle]] was relocated from the tomb to a new resting place in [[Archbishop_of_Capodomus#Capodomus_Cathedral\|Capodomus Cathedral]], in Sarvos. The Guardian has barely been impacted by this change as the place is visited more often as a memorial to the history of the League and the successes of Temeschwar, and as a tribute to Demitri Archama, than it ever was as the tomb of a southern Empress.

	~~The tomb of Empress Giselle stands in the city of [[Temeschwar]].~~

	For decades after her death, [[Empress Giselle]] was interred in her family estates in [[Sarvos]]. Following the [[Grendel]] assault and the [[the sack of Sarvos\|sacking]] of the city, which included an attempt to steal her body, her sarcophagus was moved to a safer location. After [[The other empress\|much debate]] the Senate chose to re inter Giselle in Temeschwar. A new [[Construct_tomb_for_Empress_Giselle\|tomb]] was constructed for her, under the supervision of Gant Archama (the Senator for Temeschwar).

After [[The other empress\|much debate]] the Senate chose to re inter Giselle in Temeschwar. A new [[Construct_tomb_for_Empress_Giselle\|tomb]] was constructed for her, under the supervision of Gant Archama (the Senator for Temeschwar).

	~~Constructed in the~~ city ~~itself~~, near one of the two river gates, it takes the form of an open-air amphitheatre, decorated with the motif of the unbroken chain of [[Loyalty]]. At the entrance to the seats a statue of the Senator's father, Demitri Archama (who looks so like Gant that several wits have pointed out it could just as easily be a statue of the younger Archama as the elder). He is shown seated, swathed in fur with a stern visage.		Built within city walls, near one of the two river gates, the building takes the form of an open-air amphitheatre, decorated with the motif of the unbroken chain of [[Loyalty]]. At the entrance to the seats a statue of the Senator's father, Demitri Archama (who looks so like Gant that several wits have pointed out it could just as easily be a statue of the younger Archama as the elder). He is shown seated, swathed in fur with a stern visage.

	The sarcophagus itself rests on a plinth before the raised stage, and the theatrical back drop consists of four large white granite panels carved with scenes depicting the recent joint ventures of the League. They show the raising of [[Caricomare]]; the liberation of [[Holberg]]; and the rebuilding of Sarvos after the Grendel attack. The final panel depicting the escorting of the body of Giselle from Highguard to Temeschwar by a company of soldiers bearing the tattered gonfalon of the Brotherhood of Torn Banners, with the Brotherhood's Colonel Iacob Genoshu clearly identifiable as the figure leading the procession.

	~~Already~~ there ~~has been some~~ wry commentary of the tomb - dubbed "Virtue's Respite" by Gant Archama - ~~that it appears~~ to be less a memorial to the dead [[the Throne\|Throne]], and more a testament to the recent successes of the League and the Brotherhood of Torn Banners in particular.		Almost immediately there was wry commentary that the tomb - dubbed "Virtue's Respite" by Gant Archama - appeared to be less a memorial to the dead [[the Throne\|Throne]], and more a testament to the recent successes of the League and the Brotherhood of Torn Banners in particular. During 386YE, the [[Temeschwar#Rat plague\|rat plague]] that beset Temeschwar seemed to show a particular dislike for the tomb. Eventually, thanks to the work of [[Archbishop of Capodomus\|Archbishop]] Estella Lucat, the mortal remains of the Empress were [[Golden_light#The_Woman's_Work\|relocated]] to [[Archbishop_of_Capodomus#Capodomus_Cathedral\|Capodomus Cathedral]] in Sarvos.

			''Virtue's Respite'' has barely been impacted by this change; it is visited more often as a memorial to the history of the League, the successes of Temeschwar, and a tribute to Demitri Archama, than it is the tomb of a southern Empress.
