The Watcher oversees the pool dedicated to the memory of the dead Empress, and ensures that it is not disturbed. If the Pool were to be threatened, it would be the responsibility of the Watcher to face those threats; likewise should any [[opportunity]] related to the Pool arise the Watcher would decide how to respond.

	The ~~sinecure provides nine measures~~ of [[liao]] ~~to the Watcher~~ each season, to be used as they see fit.		The number of pilgrims drawn to Britta's Pool sees the Watcher provided with 13 doses of [[liao]] by each season by the civil service, to be used as they see fit.

			A journey to Britta's Pool is a pilgrimage for the young warriors of Wintermark; Empress Britta is renowned as a competent warrior and an inspiring battlefield commander. This tradition, of visiting the Pool for weeks at a time, is only possible thanks to the actions of the Watcher in keeping it safe, which has led to a booming trade at the Pool - apothecaries buying herbs from the visitors and selling potions and tonics back to them. This arrangement benefits everyone and so the Watcher of Britta's Pool receives three doses of [[Winterskin Tonic]] for as long as the Pool remains and the responsibility of the Watcher involves its safeguarding.
