Chapter 4

Majestic towers, formidable walls, the scents and smells of market...

These are all things we think of when we think of the greatest of Thera's
majestic cities. Yet it is the cobblestone that interests me most.

How curious, each stone. So small and yet a part of something so much greater.
And like the great road it forms, we each play our part: The magistrate's patrol,
the Justiciar's investigation, the Vindicators unyielding apprehending, and the
Provost the final piece that holds the rank and branches together. Yet not a one,
even the Provost, could exist without the others.

Where would the Vindicator be without the criminals marked for capture? What disarray
would the spire lay in, without the Justiciar to make sense of the final word of law?
How could the Provost, at her pinnacle, possible ever patrol all the cities without
the magistrates, no matter how thankless the job, taking their simple watch across
the continents in their steadfast vigilance?

No, each stone plays a part, and together we form a majestic thoroughfare on which
the world can march toward an ordered life of prosperous civilization. Alone, set
apart, we are but a single stone.
