Role

Chapter 6

It has been some time but it is critical that my half-life's work be
memorialized as part of my own essence. I am delighted to report that some
of my proposed writings have made it to the Magistrate Library after their
vigorous defense before brilliant Witch Ishuli:

Tome I, Modern Redraft of the Rules:

From hereonafter, the Rules of the Magistrate published in the Magistrate
Library shall be known as "Current Rules" and my proposed modifications
shall be known as "Modern Redraft of the Rules".

---

I propose that the preamble to the Current Rules be restated as follows by
removing the word "will" and replacing it with "may". The leaders of the
Blood Tribunal have some discretion in disciplining the Magistrates and
because of such, the preamble should not be interpreted as automatic
removal from the Blood Tribunal:

"As a Magistrate of the Law, you must follow a code of conduct beyond
simply following the Laws of Thera. Failure to strictly adhere to these
rules result in your
removal from the cabal.

---

I propose that Rule 1 of the Current Rules be greatly modified and
restated. The statement - "The only exception to this is when you are
chasing a criminal." - creates much confusion. The Magistates are never
above the law as the first setence of Rule 1 of the Current Rules states.
There are simply no exceptions to this. Thus, I propose the following:

"1. Magistrates are not above the law. It is your duty to uphold and
enforce the laws, and you will work within them at all times. You shall
not endanger bystanders inside protected towns in any way, and are
therefore to refrain from using any harmful area affects."

---

I propose that Rule 2 of the Current Rules be slightly modified by adding
lieutenants to the special guards and by replacing Magistrates with members
of the Blood Tribunal (to include the Vindicator). I would further add that
Vindicators ought not use their guards to hunt those who are not enemies of
the Spire.

"2. Special guards are to be used ONLY in conjunction
with duties. Their presence is an
indicator that you are on Tribunal business, and anyone found calling on
them for trivial reasons will be treated harshly. Vindicators ought not use
special guards to hunt those who are not enemies of the Blood Tribunal."

---

I propose that Rules 3, 4, 5, and 6 remain unchanged.
