	In 186YE, after the conquest of [[Segura]] and after several years of sustained war along the western borders of the Brass Coast, the Freeborn senators worked with the [[~~Imperial~~ Senate]] to create the title of [[Vizier of the Incarnadine Satchel]]. Responsible for sourcing herbs from across and outside the [[Bay of Catazar]] for use by the apothecaries of the Brass Coast, the hakima of Free Landing agreed that the Vizier would be the new bearer of the Incarnadine Satchel. The Satchel thus passed from Vizier to Vizier for the next hundred years.

	In 294YE, the last bearer (''Tenno i Blanca i Erigo'') was lost to [[orc]] bandits in the mountains of south-west [[Kahraman]] and the satchel with them. While efforts were made to recover it, all the evidence suggests it was borne west out of Kahraman into Reinos by the Lasambrian Orcs; thus it passed out of the ken of the Empire for nearly another century.

	Sources agree that the Satchel had a unique power, although they disagree on precisely what that power was.

	Rituals such as [[Churning Cauldron of Bravash]] are certainly not new; likewise [[magic items]] such as the [[Escharotic Cauldron]] and [[Wyrmstone Mortar]] could have helped to mitigate the scarcity of herbs to some degree. It is eminently possible that the Founders did not have access to any of these rituals or items - but it is just as likely that Riqueza set out to create the Incarnadine Satchel as a way of improving on the returns provided by any of these methods. Precisely how she crafted the satchel is not recorded; one researcher suggested that she might have secured the aid of the [[eternal]] [[Murit]] in doing so - claiming that this would go some way toward explaining why there is canonically only ''one'' such satchel. It's perfectly possible that that is true - but one of the letters bequeathed by Sameen with the satchel describe it as her grandmother's masterpiece that she devoted the best years of her life to create. If true, it implies that the Founder may have crafted the powerful item by herself.

The Satchel thus passed from Vizier to Vizier for the next hundred years.		In 186YE, after the conquest of [[Segura]] and after several years of sustained war along the western borders of the Brass Coast, the Freeborn senators worked with the [[Imperial Senate]] to create the title of [[Vizier of the Incarnadine Satchel]]. Responsible for sourcing herbs from across and outside the [[Bay of Catazar]] for use by the apothecaries of the Brass Coast, the hakima of Free Landing agreed that the Vizier would be the new bearer of the Incarnadine Satchel. The Satchel thus passed from Vizier to Vizier for the next hundred years.

	In 294YE, the last bearer (''Tenno i Blanca i Erigo'') was lost to [[orc]] bandits in the mountains of south-west [[Kahraman]] and the satchel with them. While efforts were made to recover it, all the evidence suggests it was borne west out of Kahraman into Reinos by the Lasambrian Orcs; thus it ~~passes~~ out of the ken of the Empire for nearly another century.

	~~===Possible Locations===~~
	In recent years, with the conquest of Reinos and [[Bay_of_Catazar#Kalino_.28or_.E2.80.9CArbonne.E2.80.9D.29\|Kalino]] by the [[Jotun]] and the [[Iron Confederacy]] respectively, there were considered three likely destinations for the satchel. In recent months, however, as relations with the Iron Confederacy have thawed slightly, investigation has borne surprising fruit. It appears that an item matching the description of the Incarnadine Satchel is in the hands of one of the Dukes who led the invasion of Kalino - Duke DuMoi, the Iron Wolf. Piecing the story together it appears that DuMoi may have attempted to trade the Satchel to representatives of the Empire in return for unknown concessions and been rebuffed; it is now apparently being used by one of the Duke's lieutenants.

	~~Given that~~ the Confederacy ~~are foreigners~~, ~~it may prove feasible to secure its return through diplomatic means~~. ~~After all~~, the Satchel is ~~part~~ of the ~~regalia~~ of the ~~Vizier of~~ the ~~Incarnadine~~ Satchel ~~as well as a tangible connection between~~ the ~~modern Freeborn~~ and ~~their Founders~~.		In 385YE it was returned to the Vizier, and the Empire, following successful negotiations with ''Baroness Katerine Lavasse of Meore'' of the Iron Confederacy.

	The title takes its name from the ''[[#The Incarnadine Satchel\|Incarnadine Satchel]]'', a unique ~~artifact~~ in the form of a crimson-stained bag which was a gift from [[Riqueza]] to her youngest daughter. Stories differ as to its properties but the most common versions suggest the wondrous satchel either transformed any herb placed within it into any other herb, or transformed herbs into potions with incredible alacrity regardless of the capabilities of the holder. The satchel was passed from its guardian [[hakima]] to the first Freeborn to take up this ministry, but unfortunately lost along with its bearer somewhere in the mountains of [[Kahraman]] during the Winter of 294YE. The satchel was finally recovered during 385YE following negotiations between '''The Burning Sails''', ''Baroness Katerine Lavasse of Meore'' of the Iron Confederacy, and '''Cedric Gallows''' in his role as [[Ambassador to the Iron Confederacy]].
