Doyen of the Spires
Overview
The Doyen of the Spires is an Imperial title bestowed upon a citizen of Urizen by a majority vote of magicians.
The creation of the title followed an opportunity to rebuild the Heliopticon network.
Responsibilities
The Doyen is responsible for overseeing the codification of a single arcane projection, selected when they are appointed, done by the spires of Urizen using the Heliopticon.
The magicians of Urizen function like a college of magic, but the speed of research depends on how many territories are part of the Urizen nation and connected to the Heliopticon network. Each territory contributes five ranks of magnitude in research every season. At present the speed of research is 15 ranks of magnitude each season.
Powers
OOC Note: The Doyen selects the arcane projection they wish to formulate by e-mail to Profound Decisions (rules@profounddecisions.co.uk) following the event they are elected. The final magnitude of the ritual text is not guaranteed to be the same as that of the arcane projection.
Appointment
The Doyen is elected in the Hall of Worlds by a majority vote of magicians. Every Urizen magician present has one vote, regardless of any other skill.
The title can be only held by any Urizen citizen. The Doyen serves until their arcane projection has been codified. They can be revoked by the General Assembly, the Urizen National Assembly, and by the Assembly of the Nine.
