Overview
The Dreamspeaker of Seren is an Imperial title awarded to a citizen of Navarr. The Dreamspeaker oversees the Temple of Waking Dream, the great work that transformed Seren into the City of Dreams, which was commissioned by the Senate at the Summer Solstice 386YE and was finally completed just before the Autumn Equinox 388YE.
Responsibilities
The Dreamspeaker of Seren is responsible for overseeing the Temple of Waking Dream and looking to the prominence and prosperity of the city of Seren and its pilgrims. In addition, if the Temple were to be threatened in any way, it would be the responsibility of the Dreamspeaker to deal with those threats.
Powers
Liao, Tea and Masks
As a sinecure, the Dreamspeaker receives a regular income of 15 doses of liao each season. They also receive 5 doses of an unusual preparation called asphodel tea - this potent concoction made with vinum functions in a similar way to liao for the purposes of providing dreams.
Additionally, the Dreamspeaker is presented with a Dreamer's Mask each Winter Solstice. This magical item, not known to Imperial artisans, allows a priest to guide a target's spiritual dreams using the dedication of the target instead of their own.
Appointment
This title is appointed during the Autumn Equinox. The Dreamspekear of Seren is appointed by a judgement of Appointment in the Navarr national assembly.
The title may only be held by a Navarr citizen. They can be revoked by the General Assembly, the Navarr Assembly, and the Assembly of the Nine.
Temple of Waking Dream
The Title in Play
The role does not provide additional information about events in the Empire, nor allow the player holding it to request special reports or downtime actions. These details are assumed to be below the abstraction layer. The title holder is encouraged to create their own stories about their activities within reasonable limits and to get involved in events appropriate to their title during the game, but they do not have any powers beyond those explicitly listed in the section on powers.
These details exist partly to provide context and character to the role - and partly to allow our writers to use the title as a plot hook. Plot that involves the position will be rare - but all the campaign positions in Empire have these details to create the potential for it to happen.
