Keeper of the Memorial Gardens of Treji

Overview

The Keeper of the Memorial Gardens of Treji is an Imperial title created by the Imperial Senate in Autumn 378YE. The position of keeper is a sinecure, requiring minimal responsibility but offering a regular income of valuable herbs.

The gardens contain a thousand flapping pieces of cloth, each piece from a fallen hero from the battle to retake Treji, both Navarr and Summer Storm alike. Beneath each flag is a small herb garden of Bladeroot and scented flowers. The Bladeroot represents the early deaths of those who fought and the scented flowers chosen to remind those that smell them of summer. At the centre of the garden stands a monument to the fallen crafted from weirwood and enchanted ice. Atop the monument is a statue of a Navarr warrior sanding back to back with an Imperial orc from the Summer Storm legion, their bodies covered like tattoos with the names of the dead. Beneath it reads a plaque.

May we never forget the sacrifice of the Summer Storm legion and the Navari who fought with them to retake Treji.
Let they find their way through the Labyrinth.
Let them find their way over the Abyss to the far shores.
May we never forget we are stronger as a united Empire,
Let those who read this have the virtue to live up to the example set by those liberators.

The appointment of the sinecure is regarded as unconstitutional because a sinecure of this type would be expected to follow the normal rules for a national appointment. The motion was not struck down by magistrates at the time, however, and so the title stands.

Responsibilities

The Keeper oversees the gardens that memorialize the Navarr and Imperial orc heroes who died to retake Treji.

Powers

Gardener's Bounty

The Keeper of the Memorial Gardens of Teji gains custodianship of a sinecure. They receive 6 Bladeroot, 6 True Vervain, 2 Cerulean Mazzarine, 2 Imperial Roseweald, and 2 doses of Marrowort each season.

Appointment

The Keeper of the Memorial Gardens of Treji is appointed by the senator for Hercynia. If the senator cannot reach a decision, the title may be appointed by the Imperial Senate instead. Under normal circumstances, it would have been appointed by unanimous decision of the Navarr senators. The current appointment method is considered problematic by the Constitutional Court.

The title can be held by a Navarr citizen. The Keeper has tenure, and serves until they die or step down.

The Keeper can be revoked by the General Assembly, the Navarr National Assembly, and by the Assembly of the Nine.
