Work was completed on the Reapers Repose shortly before the Winter Solstice 384YE.

Reapers' Repose
The Repose is a proud palatial lodge bearing the symbols of the Crimson Reaper Cartel; a red rose and green fern growing through a skull, and the Emerald Magpie Guild; a magpie in flight clutching vibrant green gemstone. There is a plaque above the grand entryway, flanked on either side by Butcher's Cleavers that reads "paid for and built by Laughlan vi Temeschwar, Quartermaster of the Crimson Reaper Cartel and Master of the Butcher's Bank".
The grounds are landscaped by the finest gardeners of Holberg and provide the idyllic setting to best takes advantage of the oasis of calm and serenity. Open-air pools of heated water allow those of unquiet spirit to meditate upon the cares that weighed them down in the company of their peers. A well-dressed staff, in the green of the Emerald Magpie Guild and with sashes of the red and black livery of the Crimson Reapers, are trained to support the advisors and physicks trained in the treatment of the mind and spirit who work to help everyone who visits.

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.
