Tessarch

The Tessarch is the second-highest-rank member of the Council of Five, the governing bodies that rule the nation of Amn. By 1479 DR, the title was regularly held by members of the Dannihyr family of Eshpurta.
The Tessarch oversees the judicial branch of the Amnian government, and serves as the council's contact when dealing with the noble families of Amn. They oversaw the local magistrates who rule the towns and cities across the nation, intervening when "family business" gets out of control, and has to be handled by the council. By the 15th century, they were the secret authority charged with overseeing the activities of the Shadow Thieves.
