Greenwatcher

As of the Autumn Equinox 387YE, this title is no longer active following Ossegrahn turning away from the Empire

Overview

The Greenwatcher was an Imperial title that served as custodian of the Greenwatch in Casinea. The motion to construct the Greenwatch was passed during the Autumn Equinox 385YE. The Greenwatch is supported by the followers of Ossegrahn and the original opportunity for the construction was presented by heralds of the Cupbearer during the Spring Equinox 385YE. More information on the opportunity can be found in the Rain king wind of fortune.

Responsibilities

The Greenwatcher had a number of responsibilities; they were charged with using the tools provided by Ossegrahn to help destroy the vallorn as well as striving to prevent the vallorn from harming people of any nation, whether Imperial or not. They were also expected to actively work to warn others of the danger presented by the vallorn and ensure they take its threat seriously. Finally, if the Greenwatch were to come under threat, it was be the responsibility of the Greenwatcher to deal with those threats.

The Greenwatch functioned as a ministry - the Greenwatcher had access to two different purchase tracks that allowed them to purchase implements, attire, and foci useful for healing from the followers of Ossegrahn. The Greenwatcher made their decision on how much money to spend during downtime from their character page. They could only purchase one item from each of the collections. Money was removed from, and ribbons are placed into, the character's inventory when the downtime was processed.

Gift of Father Tarn

Ossegrahn provided the Greenwatcher with a unique amulet for their personal use that increased their personal healing abilities. The details of this amulet are not widely known.

Appointment

The Greenwatcher was appointed during the Spring Equinox each year by unanimous decision of the senators of Highguard. If a unanimous decision could not be reached, the title may have been appointed by the Senate instead.

The title could only be held by a citizen of Highguard. They could be revoked by the General Assembly, the Highborn National Assembly, and by the Assembly of the Nine.

Constitutional Note

• The appointment method of this title is unconstitutional, it does not follow a well-worn path
• The title can operate and be re-elected normally
• The title cannot be amended by the Imperial Senate without also addressing the issue of the unconstitutional appointment method

The appointment method of this title has been determined to be unconstitutional following a review carried out by the Constitutional Court. The title ought to be appointed by the members of the Vallornguard. This status does not impact the use of any legal powers the position has and the title will be re-elected normally. However the title should not be used as an example of a well-worn path for a position with these responsibilities and it would not be possible to make any legal changes to the title (as the result of an opportunity or otherwise) without either addressing the issue of who appoints that title at the same time, or amending the responsibilities of the position so that it was clearly outside the remit of the sodality.
