	This represents a single commission would require 10 wains of weirwood, 10 wains of white granite, 40 crowns in labour costs, and the use of a senate motion or imperial wayleave. It would take three months. Once completed it would create ''two'' Imperial titles. The ''Knight of the Greenwood'' would encourage knights and seekers of glory to quest against the vallorn, especially in Brocéliande. The ''Reeve of Greenforest Fair'' would be responsible for overseeing the trading post and be offered favourable rates when purchasing treasures reclaimed from the vallorn of Brocéliande. How the titles are appointed is up to the commissioner; the obvious [[New_Imperial_titles#Well_Worn_Paths\|well worn path]] is to have them appointed by either unanimous decision of the [[Senate\|Senators]] of Dawn, by the [[military unit\|military captains]] via the [[Tally of the Votes]], or through the National assembly. Both titles do not need to be appointed the same way. The titles would be appointed each year on the anniversary of the commission being completed.

''Chauntecleer Words'' recognised Claude Cutter, Roland Singer, and Tristaine Tiller of Dawn for winning a contest of words. The telling of tales - especially about the romantic, glorious, and virtues deeds of heroes and champions past - is at the heart of Dawnish culture and the duties of the troubadours.

	The '''Thorns of a Rose''', a [[weaver cabal]] who reside in [[Weirwater#Culwich\|Culwich]], have been particularly impressed by this reminder of the importance of tales and stories. The leader of the cabal, '''Sibylla the Majestic''' goes further. She pays special homage to the troubadours of her youth explaining that it was undeniably their tales more than anything else that led her to pursue [[glory]] and Virtue so vigorously and found the weaver cabal. In a gesture that demonstrates their largesse as well as their appreciation of Glory, [[Prosperity]], and [[Pride]], they wish to recognise Claude, Roland, and Tristaine and by doing so encourage more people to look to the arts in Dawn. As such they have prepared three magical [[bondring\|bondrings]] one each of the three, to encourage them on their quest for glory. They ask that the priests of Dawn [[hallow]] each ring suitably, and present them to the named yeofolk. The [[egregores\|egregore]] will have the actual rings, and will work with the assembly to ~~fulfill~~ the request of the weaver cabal.

	The Cabal are not the only people moved by this statement of principle. As the Winter Solstice nears, the [[earl]] of a minor noble house from [[Semmerholm]] has unexpectedly presented an opportunity to the national assembly; to build a chapel specifically for the use of troubadours on her estates. This is of particular interest because these states include Endric's Hill, and the [[Elayne_Silverlark#The_Missing_Tomb\|empty tomb]] of the [[Paragons_and_exemplars\|exemplar]] [[Elayne Silverlark]].

	Finally, while the ''Knight of the Greenwood'' and the ''Reeve of Greenforest Fair'' were both in good standing (with a noble and a yeofolk holding them), the action '''Quest against the Vallorn''' would be available to characters with military units who [[Military_unit#Take_Independent_Action\|take independent action]] in downtime. Rather than completely random returns, they would receive a mix of coins, random forest resources, and random herbs. Dawnish characters undertaking the action would get the full production, but characters from other nations would receive nothing. The National Assembly could put a stop to this action at any time with an appropriately worded statement of principle that received a greater majority and urged questing knights to look elsewhere for glory. If this were done, however, it would also halve the production of the sinecure, and remove all save the lowest rank of production for the ministry.

	This represents a single commission would require 10 wains of weirwood, 10 wains of white granite, 40 crowns in labour costs, and the use of a senate motion or imperial wayleave. It would take three months. Once completed it would create ''two'' Imperial titles. The ''Knight of the Greenwood'' would encourage knights and seekers of glory to quest against the vallorn, especially in Brocéliande. The ''Reeve of Greenforest Fair'' would be responsible for overseeing the trading post and be offered favourable rates when purchasing treasures reclaimed from the vallorn of Brocéliande. How the titles are appointed is up to the commissioner; the obvious [[New_Imperial_titles#Well_Worn_Paths\|well worn path]] is to have them appointed by either unanimous decision of the [[Senate\|Senators]] of Dawn, by the [[military unit\|military captains]] via the [[Tally of the Votes]], or through the National assembly. Both titles do not need to be appointed the same way. The titles would be appointed each year on the anniversary of the commission being completed.

	Finally, while the ''Knight of the Greenwood'' and the ''Reeve of Greenforest Fair'' were both in good standing (with a noble and a yeofolk holding them), the action '''Quest against the Vallorn''' would be available to characters with military units who [[Military_unit#Take_Independent_Action\|take independent action]] in downtime. Rather than completely random returns, they would receive a mix of coins, random forest resources, and random herbs. Dawnish characters undertaking the action would get the full production, but characters from other nations would receive nothing. The National Assembly could put a stop to this action at any time with an appropriately worded statement of principle that received a greater majority and urged questing knights to look elsewhere for glory. If this were done, however, it would also halve the production of the sinecure, and remove all save the lowest rank of production for the ministry.
