Poet Laureate of the Golden Empire

Poet Laureate of the Golden Empire was a title bestowed on a citizen of the Golden Empire who had demonstrated particular skill in poetic composition. The post was appointed by the Sovereign and drew a stipend from the Ministry of Arts and Culture.

Osibom of Wemod was the first Poet Laureate, and the position was created for him after his publication of "The Fall of Keltrayu". The position had no official duties, but Queen Rin Sakaros occasionally asked Osibom to write a piece for the Empire; he composed "A New Day Dawns" to accompany the Cleansing of Ekshi after the execution of Vessyk.
