High Herbalist of Sybella

Overview

The High Herbalist of Sybella is an Imperial title created by the Highguard Civilian Commissioner in Summer 380YE.

Responsibilities

The High Herbalist is expected to supply herbs at a preferential rate to the Anvil Hospital & Imperial School of Medicine - although of course this is merely an expectation and exerts no legal restrictions on the holder of the title who is free to do with the resources provided by the ministry as they see fit.

Sybella Cross Physician's Hall

Built in Sybella Cross in Bastion, the Physician's Hall purchases herbs from citizens and provides medicinal support to the inhabitants of Sybella Cross. As one of the richest towns in Bastion, and a central hub for trade, the Hall is ideally placed to take advantage of herb traders traveling to and from Urizen and Therunin, or those en route to or from the new Gardens of High Chalcis in Reikos.

Much of the trade at the Physician's Hall is between private citizens, but the High Herbalist and their representatives often receive first refusal or access to special opportunities to acquire herbs at bargain prices.
