The Magistrates of Durendal

The Magistrates of the capital are the authority of all things supernatural under the crown, and divided into the Divine and the Arcane. Two seats on the crowns council are filled by an divine and an arcane Magistrate, but now, one seat lies sat upon by the Order of the Red Dawn. Since the outlaw of magic, the Arcane magistrates were prosecuted without warning, shackled and gagged, and sent to the dungeons, those who resisted were killed and hung along the Kingsroad as a warning to all others of the magical prowess.
