Overview
The Custodian of the Shchaslyvyy Spile is an Imperial title awarded to a Varushkan citizen. Announced by Borys Vardovich Straskovich, the Boyar of the Iron Roads, in Spring 386YE in Ossium, the Shchaslyvyy Outpost Sappery enables the Custodian to purchase mana crystals via a ministry.
The Shchaslyvyy Outpost was founded in Drownbark Forest soon after Ossium became part of Varushka. Bringing their old Navarri techniques, the now Varushkan loggers would regularly sweeten their food with the sap from the maples. In one grove of trees, about which various legends abound, the sap would sometimes crystalise and harden producing usable mana. In Spring 386YE, the Vardovich came to ward the road to the grove, and forged a number of mithril spiles.
Responsibilities
The Custodian has a responsibility to protect those who live within Shchaslyvyy Outpost. In addition, if the Spile or the traders who travel there were to be threatened in any way, it would be the responsibility of the Custodian to deal with those threats.
Powers
Ministry
| Mana crystals | |
| 7 Crowns | 8 mana crystals |
| 17 Crowns | 16 mana crystals |
| 30 Crowns | 25 mana crystals |
As a ministry, the title of Custodian of the Shchaslyvyy Spile allows the holder to purchase quantities of mana crystals at a set price. The Custodian makes their decision on how much money to spend during downtime from their character page. Money is removed from, and resources are placed into, the character's inventory when the downtime is processed.
Appointment
This title is appointed during the Summer Solstice by Varushkans who control forest and mine personal resources. The larger the forest or mine an individual has, the more votes they can allocate in support to a candidate. The voting is handled by the civil servants in the Bourse.
Only a Varushkan character may hold this title. They do not receive a seat on the Bourse. As a title appointed through the Bourse, they cannot be revoked by the Imperial Synod.
The Title in Play
The role does not provide additional information about events in the Empire, nor allow the player holding it to request special reports or downtime actions. These details are assumed to be below the abstraction layer. The 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 section on powers.
These details exist partly to provide context and character to the role - and partly to allow our writers to use the title as a plot hook. Plot that involves the position will be rare - but all the campaign positions in Empire have these details to create the potential for it to happen.
