Overview
The Healer of Dawn is an Imperial title created by the Dawnish Civilian Commissioner in Spring 380YE in order to supervise the Garden of Tiberius' Bequest in Laroc, Astolat. The position was created to help ensure that the best healers of Dawn had access to the vital herbs they need to carry out their duties - an essential ingredient for them to pursue glory.
Construction of the Garden of Tiberius' Bequest was completed shortly before the 380YE Summer Solstice. The garden was planted to testify to the skill and bravery of the Dawnish healers, and the many ballads that would not have been sung if not for their actions. The gardens are tended by the same hands who tend those injured in the great tourneys.
Responsibilities
The healer of Dawn is expected to distribute the herbs they receive among healers of Dawn that they consider worthy, in order to promote this path to glory. Most citizens who think of Dawnish glory imagine lines of brave knights clad in shimmering mail or bold war witches wreathed in mystic armour. But there are many paths to glory, the troubadour whose songs move the hearts of any who hear them perform, the smith who creates the finest weapons, enchanters whose guiles outwit the eternals. For a healer to achieve glory in the eyes of all is hard - for little of their work is seen; it is the responsibility of the Healer of Dawn to help the brilliant few whose arts serve all to shine as brightly as the warriors whose lives they save.
Powers
Bounty of the Garden
The Healer of Dawn has custodianship of a sinecure. They receive an income of herbs each season: 18 drams of Cerulean Mazzarine.
Appointment
The Healer of Dawn is appointed by unanimous decision of the senators of Dawn. If a unanimous decision cannot be reached, the title may be appointed by the Imperial Senate instead.

Garden of Tiberius' Bequest
The garden lies just within earshot of the fabled tournament grounds of Laroc in Astolat. Located on the crest of a low hill, a visitor walking through the entrance will pass three statues and seven empty plinths. The three statues depict Doctor Tiberius of Urizen, Isabella de Rondell of Dawn, and Peter Vorsh of Dawn. The other plinths were left empty in order to goad the physicks, chirurgeons and apothecaries of Dawn to even greater deeds.
The garden has, in addition to herbs cultivated throughout the empire, a dazzling array of beautiful flowers which are often used as favours during the tournaments held nearby. In the centre of the gardens lies a Spring Regio, first discovered following the use of the Hallow of the Green World in the Spring of 380YE.
