Overview
The Broken Shore Market is located in Cargo. The market was commissioned by Octavius of Damakan's Forge, as the Bearer of an Imperial Wayleave, during the Winter Solstice 383YE following an offer made by a representative of the Salt Lords Council. .
| Weirwood Cost | Mithril Purchased |
|---|---|
| 6 wains of weirwood | 8 wains of mithril |
| 15 wains of weirwood | 16 wains of mithril |
| 24 wains of weirwood | 24 wains of mithril |
| 32 wains of weirwood | 32 wains of mithril |
Powers
Ministry
As a ministry, the title of Broker of the Broken Shore allows the holder to purchase wains of mithril at a set price. The Broker makes their decision on how many wains of weirwood to trade during downtime from their character page. Weirwood is removed from, and mithril is placed into, the character's inventory when the downtime is processed.
Appointment
This title is appointed during the Autumn Equinox. The Broker of the Broken Shore is appointed by citizens of Urizen who control the mana site personal resources. The larger the mana site an individual has the more votes they can allocate in support to a candidate. The voting is handled by the civil servants in the Bourse.
Only an Urizen citizen may hold the title. They do not receive a seat on the Bourse. As a title appointed through the Bourse they cannot be revoked by the Imperial Synod.
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.

Recent Elections
This tile is no longer being elected as the Bourse seat it oversaw is not in Imperial hands. The table to the right shows the citizens who have been elected to hold this title in the years since Empress Britta died.
