	The Navarr are widely acknowledged to be masters of the herbal arts in the Empire. They played a pivotal role in the discovery of [[liao]] and by extension [[Liao#True Liao\|true liao]] for example. Miaren is already the site of dozens of well-tended gardens that produce crops of vital herbs. Some are used to help in the fight against the vallorn; some are used to support the Navarr armies; some are sold to the physicks and apothecaries of other nations. One noted apothecary, ''Bronwen of the Silver Falls'', proposes that by applying some organisation, the herb gardens of Seren could be harnessed to provide a truly wondrous bounty of magical herbs to the Navarr people. And by harnessing those gardens, Seren could truly earn the title of the ''City of Flowers''.		The Navarr are widely acknowledged to be masters of the herbal arts in the Empire.

	When the vallorn was cleared from Miaren over two hundred years ago, the ruins of the old city of Seren were left largely alone. The vallorn heart was uprooted and destroyed, and the ruins themselves preserved as a monument to - and reminder of - the past. Over time, they were largely transformed into a garden, rich with beautiful flowers and rare plants. Bronwen proposes to expand these gardens, and then build seven more dedicated public garden-parks in a great ring around them. Some of these gardens would grow [[True Vervain]], [[Imperial Roseweald]], and [[Marrowort]] alongside flowering plants and fruit trees. Others would be enclosed beneath great greenhouses and used to grow [[Cerulean Mazzarine]], [[Bladeroot]], and other plants that prosper best in controlled environments.

	At the height of Terunael, Seren was a city known for its scholars and poets, and for both colleges and military academies. All were destroyed when the vallorn consumed the city. The Navarr spent decades sifting the ruins for lost lore after the territory was liberated from the vallorn - only to see much of their work lost once more when Nicovar burned the libraries. In a year, the Mad Emperor destroyed and scattered what had taken centuries to gather together. Perhaps understandably, ever since there has been a singular reticence to create a new centralised storehouse of knowledge for fear that a second Nicovar might again set the Empire teetering on the brink of a new dark age of ignorance.

	Dradan proposes to create a grand ''Temple of Waking Dream'' - a place of faith and virtue. Big enough to rival the cathedrals of Highguard, but built in harmony with the existing gardens and steadings of Seren, it would stand as a testament to both the philosophy of the Great Dance and the teachings of the Way. In addition to the Temple itself, and the extensive gardens that surrounded it, the project would include building wayhouses and shrines suitable for use by both pilgrims and students of spirituality and religion. It would attract guides and pilgrims from across the Empire - especially those who were for whatever reason dissatisfied with their lives and wished to find new purpose - or a new way of living.

	It is not only magical herbs that are gathered by the people of Miaren. The territory is also known for producing large amounts vinum - the raw sap from which is used to produce [[liao]]. Miaren produces more vinum than any other single territory in the Empire, and much of that production is centred in the gentle woodlands around the steadings of Seren. Many of the plants are refined in Seren, and it is said that when the workers are preparing the sap, the smell is so intoxicating that it is common to experience a dreamy feeling of light-headedness. The vinum does not put people to sleep, but it can produce the most vivid day-dreams in those who work it for too long - and when they sleep at night they often experience profound dreams that are almost visionary in nature. It is for this reason it is called the'' Dream Harvest'' by those who work to gather it.		It is not only magical herbs that are gathered by the people of Miaren.

	The dreams produced by exposure to the partially refined liao are not mere fancies. Rather, they are similar in nature to the kind of dream a priest can cultivate through their understanding of the [[Dedication]] ceremony. While unguided, they can often contain images that reflect the concerns or challenges the dreamer faces in their life. A skilled guide can help interpret those dreams and perhaps help the dreamer understand their concerns, or face the challenges that lie before them.

	The call to raise a third Navarr [[~~Imperial army~~\|army]] is carried to every corner of the Empire by the [[striding\|stridings]]. This isn't the first time in recent years that there has been an attempt to raise a third army. The matter has come up several times in recent years and there was even a [[Raise Navarr Army\|motion in the Senate]] to that effect during the Summer Solstice of 380YE. The motion was [[Abrogate third Navarri army\|abrogated]] the following summit, and the subject was not raised again until very recently. Precisely why the motion failed is subject of speculation, but the most common assumption is that it was due to a shortage of materials. Funding an army has always been a challenge for the Navarr. Any army raised by the Empire needs mithril but the nation has never had a steady supply of the precious metal. While wealthy, the Navarr generally lack the great monetary wealth of [[the League]] or [[the Marches]].

	It is difficult to disagree with the National assembly as to the importance of an army that is specially trained to deal with the vallorn. Such an ability would be unique in the Empire, a vital boon in the endless war against the Navarr's terrible enemy. Surely any price is worth paying to have such a weapon in Navarr hands? The vallorn of Liathaven has been weakened, and there are those who speculate that if the vallorn of Brocéliande can be withstood for long enough it might likewise be weakened. The [[trods]] have never reached as far or as widely as they do today; the locations of the other vallorn-infested ruins of Terunael have been identified. The presence of the [[Grey pilgrim\|Grey Pilgrims]] means that there have never been more people actively trying to destroy the vallorn. There is something in the air - and if the Navarr are to make the most of future opportunities to fight their unnatural foe they may need to act quickly to secure the tools to do so.
