Overview
The Exarch of Virtue's Rest is an Imperial title awarded to a citizen of Highguard. The motion to remodel Virtue's Rest was passed by the Senate in Winter 386YE. The Exarch of Virtue's Rest is responsible for supporting the supply and provision of Highborn armies, and helping to ready the territory of Bastion for the war against the vallorn. More information on the opportunity to create this title can be found in the The war of thorns and flowers wind of fortune.
Responsibilities
The Exarch of Virtue's Rest has a responsibility to support the supply and provision of Highborn armies and help ready the territory of Bastion for the war against the vallorn. In addition, if Virtue's Rest, or the Highborn who run the hostels, were to be threatened in any way, it would be the responsibility of the Exarch to deal with those threats.
Powers
Virtuous Supply

Appointment
This title is appointed during the Spring Equinox. The Exarch of Virtue's Rest is appointed by citizens of Highguard who control congregation personal resources. The larger the congregation an individual has, the more votes they can allocate in support to a candidate. The voting is handled by the civil servants in the Bourse.
Only a Highborn citizen may hold the title. They do not receive a seat on the Bourse. As a title appointed through the Bourse they cannot be revoked by the Synod.
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.
