Overview
The Keeper of the Iron Grove is an Imperial title appointed by the senators of Wintermark. The Keeper has custodianship of the Iron Grove, a garden announced by Wren Ironclaw, as Bearer of an Imperial Wayleave, during the Spring Equinox 386YE. Construction was completed shortly before the 386YE Summer Solstice.
Responsibilities
The Keeper of the Iron Grove has a responsibility to protect the Iron Grove and to ensure the safety of those visiting. If the Iron Grove, or its visitors, were to be threatened it would be the responsibility of the Keeper to deal with those threats.
Powers
Produce of the Grove
The Keeper receives an income of herbs each season: 5 drams of bladeroot, 4 drams of true vervain, 4 drams of imperial roseweald, 3 drams of marrowort and 2 drams of cerulean mazzarine.
Appointment
The Keeper of the Iron Grove is appointed by unanimous decision of the Wintermark senators. If a unanimous decision cannot be reached, the title may be appointed by the Imperial Senate instead.
The title can be held by a Wintermark citizen. The Keeper has tenure, and serves until they die or step down. They can be revoked by the General Assembly, the Wintermark National Assembly, and by the Assembly of the Nine.
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.
