Vizier of the Incarnadine Satchel
Overview
The Vizier of the Incarnadine Parador is an Imperial title awarded to a Freeborn citizen. It is a national position appointed through the Bourse.
The Vizier oversees and advises agents across the Bay of Catazar and beyond who acquire herbs on their behalf. Sometimes agents of the Vizier travel with fleets visiting distant shores, empowered to negotiate on behalf of the minister and constantly seeking the best possible deal when bargaining for valuable plants.
The title takes its name from the Incarnadine Satchel, a unique artifact in the form of a crimson-stained bag said to have been a gift from the original Riqueza to her youngest daughter. Stories differ as to it's properties but the most common versions suggest the wondrous satchel either transformed any herb placed within it into any other herb, or transformed herbs into potions with incredible alacrity regardless of the capabilities of the holder. The satchel was passed from it's guardian hakima to the first Freeborn to take up this ministry. Unfortunately, the satchel was lost along with it's bearer somewhere in the mountains of Kahraman during the punishing winter of 294YE, and has not been seen since.
Responsibilities
The Vizier is traditionally expected to ensure that the apothecaries of the Brass Coast have access to the herbs they need to make potions. This being a Freeborn ministry, it is expected that the Vizier will take the opportunity to make whatever profit they consider appropriate. A few Viziers have instead used their title to ensure that Freeborn warriors and hakima are kept well supplied with useful potions, especially those that will help them fight the enemies of the Brass Coast during journeys through the Sentinel Gate.
