Selection
The Navarr National assembly appoints the Voice of Barbs. This is a National title, and may be held by any Navarr citizen.
The title is appointed each year on the anniversary of the completion of the House of Barbs.
Removal

History
Commissioned by Senator Rhain of Hercynia, work on the House of Barbs began shortly after the Spring Equinox 379YE but progress was slow.
The House of Barbs
The house is built after the style of a traditional Navarr wayhouse on the slopes of the Northpines in north-western Hercynia.
It was intended as a place where Navarr guides unable to attend Anvil could raise and discuss issues affecting them, or concerns related to their role as spiritual advisors to the Navarr people. It also serves as a place for stridings travelling through Hercynia to find spiritual guidance in the absence of their own guides. The House also acts as a point for the collection and forwarding of messages throughout Hercynia and beyond.
The House consists of a central meeting hall, communal sleeping area, kitchen, stables for oxen, and extensive wagon-yard. Separate from the main compound is a meditation labyrinth, and a secluded funeral grove. The grove includes a small memorial to the family of Senator Rhain who were laid to rest there long before the House of Barbs was constructed.
