Chief Wrangler

Overview

The Chief Wrangler is an Imperial title awarded to a citizen of the Brass Coast. Commissioned by the Imperial Senate at the Summer Solstice 388YE, the Wrangler's Market presents some opportunity to trade cattle to the Suranni - but secretly also acts as a front to enable spying on the territory of Arbonne.

Responsibilities

The Chief Wrangler is responsible for ensuring that sufficient cattle is traded to the Suranni to allow Unshackled scouts to spy on the territory. If the market were to be threatened in any way, it would be the responsibility of the Wrangler to deal with those threats.

Powers

Cattle Trade

Cattle Trade
140 Rings	6 orichalcum and 6 weltsilver
340 Rings	12 orichalcum and 12 weltsilver
600 Rings	18 orichalcum and 18 weltsilver

As a ministry, the position of Chief Wrangler allows the holder to purchase quantities of orichalcum and weltsilver at a set price. The Dhomiro spends their decision about how much money to spend during downtime from their character page. Money (representing cattle) is removed from, and resources are placed into, the character's inventory when the downtime is processed.

Operating the ministry allows the spy network in the territory to continue undetected. As long as the ministry is operated each season, the Suranni will have no way at all to discover the network. Indeed, it is be in the interests of corrupt officials not to look too closely and even to cover up any evidence of spying that they did discover - because it might disrupt the lucrative trade.

Appointment

The Chief Wrangler is appointed during the Autumn Equinox. The Wrangler is appointed by citizens of the Brass Coast who control fleets. The voting is handled by the civil servants in the Bourse.

Only a Freeborn character 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 Synod.
