	The Guild Leader of the Imperial Apothecaries is an Imperial title awarded to a member of the Imperial Apothecaries. Though the title is "''Guild Leader''", this represents an oversight by the constitutional court during [[scrutiny]]. Under normal circumstances, the court do not permit the Senate to create Imperial titles with names that imply that they are in charge or have authority over an organisation or group of citizens. Legally the sodality has nobody who is in charge, the Guild Leader is expected to be a mouthpiece for the sodality, with the responsibility to represent their sodality's views to other parts of the Empire, to recruit new members, and to advance the sodality's goals and the members' interests.

			====Donations====
			Since the manifesto was amended during the Winter Solstice 387YE, the Guild Leader has received four drams each of [[bladeroot]], [[cerulean Mazzarine\|cerulean mazzarine]], [[Imperial roseweald]], [[marrowort]], and [[true vervain]] from apothecaries in [[the League]] and [[the Brass Coast]]. These donations will continue as long as the sodality holds that apothecaries' expertise should be valued and fairly compensated.

The sodality is dedicated to the advancement, education, and support of apothecaries and other practitioners of the herbal arts across the Empire. It holds the following to be true:
