Custodian of the Starlight Drift

This title lost its bounty of mana when the Druj destroyed the Starlight Drift. 

Vulpes of Endsmeet, first Custodian of the Starlight Drift

Overview

The Custodian of the Starlight Drift was an Imperial title established by the Imperial Senate during Autumn 378YE.

During the 381YE Druj invasion of Zenith, the Starlight Drift was destroyed by orc invaders.

Responsibilities

The Custodian had no particular responsibilities; they simply received a bounty of crystal mana from the Starlight Drift.

Powers

Bounty of Mana

The Custodian received custodianship of a sinecure, which provided an income of 9 crystal mana each season.

Appointment

The Custodian of the Starlight Drift was selected by unanimous decision of the Urizen senators.

The title could be held by any Urizen citizen. The Custodian had tenure, and served until they died or stepped down. They could be revoked by the General Assembly, the Urizen National Assembly, and by the Assembly of the Nine.

After the flood
Currently the Starlight Drift of Shimmering Snow is in ruins, and so the holder of this title has no powers and receives no production from the sinecure. If the sinecure were rebuilt, (assuming the Druj are driven out of Zenith), the current holder would resume their post if they have not stepped down or died in the interim.

The Starlight Drift of Shimmering Snow

The Starlight Drift of Shimmering Snow was the name given to a certain cliff face near Endsmeet in Zenith. Impurities in the rock, similar to the material used to make lightstones, captured sunlight and slowly released it after sunset. It was considered a site of outstanding natural beauty. In 378YE, the decision was made to take advantage of the naturally high flows of mana around the Starlight Drift. Work began almost immediately to construct several mithril collectors that could be used to harness and focus the mana flows to produce crystal mana - without damaging this beautiful natural wonder.

When the Druj attacked Zenith in 381YE, they tore the Starlight Drift apart. The mithril collectors were ruined, and the beautiful lightstones gouged out of the rock by weeping Urizen slaves captured from the nearby spires.
