==The Magistrate==

''The harshest judge''.

'''Usual Location''': While officially she dwells in the high court of Adbar, the Magistrate and her agents operate beyond that nation's borders with alarming frequency.

'''Common Knowledge''':  A holy judge, the Magistrate is the highest-ranking Solanthaarian Inquisitor.  She sees the Drakkath as a land that has fallen from grace, that has lost the order of the long-dead Empire and has been swallowed by crime and anarchy.  She seeks to undo that damage, wipe away Elder taint and bring about justice.  the Magistrate and her enforcers give a fair trial, but they are mercilessly practical and their punishments are severe.

'''Characters and the Magistrate''':  The Magistrate sometimes needs trustworthy, zealous agents to help her enforcers with bringing those who breach her laws to justice

'''Allies''':  The Magistrate has the approval of the Hierophant - for now.  Sometimes the Magistrate and the Thornmaiden see past their differences and unite as champions of the Younger Gods.  The Eagle King believes that the Magistrate will achieve great things if she can only temper her cruel nature, perhaps even become a new Empress one day.

'''Enemies''':  The Huronese threaten her homeland with invasion, and so the Magistrate opposes the-Lord Commander.  The Shadowfury is a blatant example of Elder taint and the perpetrator of evil acts - nevermind that she serves as a rather apt warning to the Magistrate of just what happens when a desire for retribution is allowed to go unchecked.  The Vault-Keeper opposes the spread of the Magistrate's influence and certainly takes issue with her practice of destroying what she believes to be 'evil' knowledge.

'''The True Danger''':  If the Magistrate gives in totally to her ruthlessness and becomes a true tyrant, she will cease to be a force for order and instead become one of oppression and conquest.
