			==Limitations==
			An Imperial title does not provide additional information about events in the Empire, nor allow the player holding it to request special reports or downtime actions. Except where explicitly called out as powers, or provided as [[opportunity\|opportunities]] (for example in the winds of fortune) hese details are assumed to be below the abstraction layer. A title holder is encouraged to create their own stories about their activities within reasonable limits and to get involved in events appropriate to their title during the game, but they do not have any powers beyond those explicitly listed in the appropriate section.

	There is no contractual obligation to uphold the responsibilities of an office - it is not possible to create a title that requires specific action or dictates how the responsibilities must be discharged.
