The common justicar is often a traveling judge, a clerk, or a judge. They also have a militant arm that can be guards or police where needed.
They can arbitrate disputes, deal with criminals, and establish laws where none exist. As well as be diplomats, juries, bounty hunters, lawyers, or executioners.
