	The shrine was [[Construct_shrine_for_Britta's_body\|constructed]], and the [[Guardian_of_Britta's_Shrine\|guardian]] appointed, following the successful recovery of [[Empress Britta\|Empress Britta's]] body during the Winter Solstice 376YE. The decision was made by the [[~~Imperial~~ Senate]] at that time to inter the body of the dead Empress in the marshes of [[Kallavesa]], according to [[Wintermark_culture_and_customs#Funerals\|Wintermark custom]], but to build a shrine in her memory in Necropolis to house the relics of her reign according to long Imperial tradition.

	With the removal of the relics, and their placement in the marshes, Empress Britta becomes one of only a handful of Imperial [[The Throne\|Thrones]] not interred in the Necropolis. She joins [[Emperor Barabbas]] (whose body was never recovered from the Bay of Catazar), [[ Empress Giselle]] (interred in her family tomb in [[Caricomare]]), and her fellow Winterfolk [[Empress Mariika]] (who walked into Sydanjaa after she quit the Throne).

	The shrine in Necropolis has lost much of its significance as a result of the decision to move the relics to Kallavesa. As a consequence, the number of pilgrims has dropped dramatically with those who wish to pay their respects to the young Empress choosing to travel to Wintermark instead. The eternal flame still burns outside the beautiful white granite shrine, but by the start of the new year (Spring 380YE) the [[imperial title]] of [[Guardian of Britta's Shrine]] will have become a purely ceremonial title.
