Law Lords

Absalom’s four law lords oversee administration of the city’s sprawling judicial system. Each of the law lords is a judge in their own right, outranking any other magistrate. Unlike Absalom’s other judges, the law lords are entitled to make snap judgments on the spot, doling out justice without the otherwise-required trial by jury. In practice, the law lords seldom exercise this power, which is associated with some of the worst political and legal atrocities in the city’s history, such as the Reborn Rebellion of 1464 AR or the “judicial” execution of the entire High Council during the infamous Conjured Siege of 2450 AR.
