===== the Abbot of Carney =====

The Abbot is an appointed lifetime position of high honor. The current Abbot has been in place for 37 years, through the rule of 4 Jarls.

The influence of the Abbot is typically more or less equal to the other Alders in general, however, the current Abbot has grown greatly in influence, due to his unusual breadth of knowledge and interests. His wisdom is unmatched in history, economics, and analytics. 

Over the past decade or so, the Abbot has encouraged research into many lost areas of knowledge, beginning to create a culture of curiosity and investigation rather than the narrow superstitious mindset all too characteristic of many previous councilors. While still technically outlawed, such Arts as herbology, tattoo, battledance, and even magic are now becoming more generally​ accepted.

The Abbot can heal characters to full HP.
