==Overview== | |||
The Merchant Prince of Misericorde Market is an [[Imperial title]] awarded to a [[The League|League]] citizen. | |||
==Responsibilities== | |||
The Merchant Prince is responsible for ensuring that all business taking place at the Misericorde Market is above board, although the actual day-to-day running of the Market is handled by officers who are well paid for their work. In the event that the Market was threatened, they would be expected to deal with those threats; they might also be called on to make decisions about the broad policies of the Market. | |||
==Powers== | |||
===Bounty from Misericorde=== | |||
The Misericorde Market functions as a [[sinecure]]. The Merchant Prince of Misericorde Market receives 10 crowns, 5 measures of [[Materials#Ambergelt|ambergelt]] and 12 random [[herb|herbs]] each season. | |||
==Appointment== | |||
The Merchant Prince of Misericorde Market is selected by unanimous decision of the [[the League]] [[senator|senators]]. If a unanimous decision cannot be reached, the title [[Appointments_by_the_Senate#National_Position|may be appointed]] by the [[Imperial Senate]] instead. | |||
The title can be held by any League citizen. The Merchant Prince has [[Imperial_title#Term_of_office|tenure]], and serves until they die or step down. They can be [[revocation|revoked]] by the [[Assembly#General_Assembly|General Assembly]], the League [[Assembly#The_National_Assemblies|National Assembly]], and by the [[Assembly#Assembly_of_the_Nine|Assembly of the Nine]]. | |||
==Misericorde Market== | |||
During Summer 383YE it became clear that the Sand Fishers did not like entering Holberg. They find the crowded streets intimidating, they complain that it smells, and they find it difficult to understand all the rules the burghers insist are important. To ensure more effective cooperation and trade the Empire constructed a a covered market on the edge of the city as a place where business owners could come to sell their goods to the Sand Fishers and vice versa. | |||
The market improves the supply of valuable Herbs to the city of Holberg, and gives the Sand Fishers a place to buy useful finished goods, particularly metal goods like arrow points, knifes and spear tips. At present relations with the Sand Fishers are technically the responsibility of the Imperial Consul as they are classed as foreigners. Since the title has a suitably impressive sounding name, the Merchant Prince of Misericorde Market, it is likely that the Sand Fishers will look to them as a natural liaison - and bring any issues or problems they have to them first to try and get a resolution. | |||
