	Ratibor ~~does~~ not have an [[inspirational tomb]]. ''Beagan Locular di Temeschwar'' ~~has put forward a proposal that one could be raised in honour of~~ Ratibor, [[consecration\|consecrated]] with [[Liao#True Liao\|True Liao]]. The ~~obvious candidate would be ''~~Ratibor's Gate~~'' (the~~ former prison where ~~his~~ bones ~~currently lie) - but that would mean relocating~~ the civil service ~~offices there which would prove quite disruptive and would need~~ new premises to be found. There are two obvious alternatives however. The ''Red Tower'' stands near the heart of the old city and is the only remaining part of Ratibor's palace still standing. It is currently used as a grain store, but ~~it would be comparatively simple matter to move~~ the ~~supplies there to another location. There are also the gates of Temeschwar themselves - symbolic of Ratibor's best known act, the casting out of the Vyig. Either the Gate of Ambition or the Gate~~ of ~~Vigilance would be an excellent inspirational resting place for Ratibor's bones.~~		For many years Ratibor did not have an [[inspirational tomb]]. Following a suggestion by ''Beagan Locular di Temeschwar'', the obvious candidate - ''Ratibor's Gate'' - was [[consecration\|consecrated]] with [[Liao#True Liao\|True Liao]] after the Autumn Equinox 384YE.

	~~Moving the civil service out of the prison, and re-purposing it as a temple dedicated to~~ Ratibor's ~~name, would be expensive. It would require a [[Senate motion~~]]~~, and~~ the expenditure of 20 wains of white granite, and 40 crowns to refurbish the building and find new offices for the civil service. Once it were consecrated however, the temple would provide 10 [[liao]] and 20 votes in the Synod to the priest chosen to oversee it - and the enthusiastic Temeschwari congregation it would surely attract.		* [[Watcher of Ratibor's Torch]]

	Adapting the Red Tower would be nearly as effective. It would require 16 wains of white granite, 32 crowns, and could be achieved with either a Senate motion or a [[Bearer of an Imperial Wayleave\|Imperial Wayleave]].

It would be much more successful if the priest were sent by the Imperial Synod - most effective of all if they were sent as a result of a [[mandate]].

	Since his recognition there has been comparatively little movement on the matter of Ratibor, which rankles some of the prouder bishops of Temeschwar. This dissatisfaction has been slowly growing, exacerbated by the presence of the [[Guardian_of_Giselle%27s_Tomb#Virtue.27s_Respite\|Tomb of Empress Giselle]] in the city. It does not sit right with some of them that an Empress many see as fundamentally foreign - for all that she was a citizen of the League she never made any secret of the fact that Temeschwar was a distant second to Sarvos in her heart - receives higher honour than a man now recognised as an example for the virtuous. It is not as if his resting place is unknown - as per his will his bones were interred in a stone mausoleum beneath Ratibor's Gate - the old prison that now serves as offices for the civil service in the city.

	In ~~378YE~~, the [[The DOOM that came to Sarvos\|attack on Sarvos]], and the [[In the garden of defiance\|destruction of Holmauer Park]] was seen as a clear sign that the cities of the League could not afford to be complacent. There are signs that the vyig - or a similar organisation - are on the rise again.

	Not everyone accepts that Ratibor is an exemplar of Ambition.

	In the years before the creation of the Empire, the city of [[Temeschwar]] was plagued by gangs of thieves and assassins who operated with open impunity despite the best efforts of the boyar, Ratibor. Thousands of inhabitants were linked with the different gangs who used tattoos to mark membership and enforce loyalty. These groups are believed to have been the [[vyig]] - either the forerunners of the modern criminal organisation or their inspirations.
