Role

Chapter 4

======================================================
I've been a Magistrate for a couple of years and life
don't get any harder. Other factions have choices and
in many cases are not sitting targets. My enemies come
for us in the cities, Spire with no regards. Policy at
the moment dictates we are not able to do the same. I
feel helpless and restricted by policy. I've watched
dozens of occasions where Villagers raid and Scions do
the same with no consequence. There will be a time and
place where this is no longer acceptable. I dread the
village and despise the Scion. However, patience is a
virtue of mine. I am merely a Magistrate amongst the
Tribunal and by no means can I effect policy.

I had a recent conversation with Provost Alicade whom
indepth gave her account of the state of the Spire. It
is settling was her remarks and I do agree with her. We
have seen three Provost in a short time and I can only
imagine the lingering impact. But, this verdict of our
Provost gives me hope. I too seek to rise in the ranks.
Not because I MUST rise, but because I seek to have a
better impact on Order and contribute more to the Grand
Design. The archbishop of Destuvius, said to me that I
should be grateful for my station, but be sure that I
don't become complacent and want more.

The Tribunal is my life and while I am pleased to be a
Magistrate. I would want to become a Provincial soon.
