The Magistratus

"We are gathered here to bear witness to the sentence of the accused. He has been found guilty of breaking the sacred laws of magic and consorting with outer beings, receiving their corrupt power in exchange for his life in service to their whims. Such actions have brought forth corruption and chaos upon our land, threatening the very fabric of our society. The sentence is death. May you find peace in the afterlife, warlock." - Judge Henri Dubois at the trial of Lorethar Crane, 1584

Spells and Swift Justice

The Magistratus, a powerful guild of battlemages, were founded by the prestigious Vovale Court to uphold the laws of magic and ensure that those who break them face the full consequences of their actions. With a sense of duty and a fierce dedication to their cause, the Magistratus work in teams of three, each playing a vital role in the administration of justice. The first member of the team is the Judge, responsible for impartially assessing the evidence and passing judgement. The second member is the Juror, tasked with recording every detail of the case and ensuring that nothing is missed. Finally, there is the Executioner, whose duty it is to carry out the sentence handed down by the Judge.
In their pursuit of justice, the Magistratus are unrelenting, and their punishments are swift and heavy-handed. They are feared and respected in equal measure, for no one who crosses the line of magic is safe from their watchful eye. With their combined powers and unwavering dedication to their cause, the Magistratus is a force to be reckoned with, and their presence alone is often enough to deter those who would seek to break the laws of magic.
The Magistratus are a highly respected and exclusive group, with entry limited to only the most talented and dedicated of mages. Members are chosen through a rigorous selection process, and must undergo extensive training before they can join a team and begin their work as enforcers of the law. While the Magistratus are often seen as inflexible and uncompromising, they are also known for their fairness and impartiality. They are guided by a strict code of ethics, and hold themselves to the highest standards of conduct. They are careful to ensure that those accused of breaking the laws of magic are given a fair trial and are not subject to undue prejudice or discrimination.
Despite their reputation as enforcers of the law, the Magistratus are not without their critics. Some argue that their methods are too harsh, and that they are too quick to punish those who make even minor mistakes. Others question their motives, suggesting that the Magistratus are more interested in maintaining their own power and authority than in upholding the laws of magic.
Regardless of these criticisms, the Magistratus remain a powerful and influential force in Krelyra. They are respected by many and feared by all, and their role in upholding the laws of magic is seen as essential to maintaining order and stability in a world where even the smallest mistake can have catastrophic consequences.
