Lord Magistrate Goriae
Effects of Being Lord Magistrate Goriae
A character being Lord Magistrate Goriae gains important political power upon the Gorian Sector and later Protectorate, which are as follow:
Peers of Goriae Rules:
(3) Political Influence (Gorian Senate)
(3) Political Influence (Adeptus Administratum)
(1) Political Influence (Holy Orders Goriae)
(1) Private Army (Gorian Blackwatch)
While the Gorian Blackwatch can be destroyed, it will be rapidly replaced, while the political influences may not be disturbed nor destroyed.
All these effects are lost upon loss of the title of Lord Magistrate Goriae
The Lord Magistrate Goriae is the relative equivalent of a Prime Minister in the Senatorum Goriae. Working closely with the Lord Sector and reducing his responsibilities in the civil governance of the Gorian Sector\Protectorate, the Lord Magistrate is by himself a powerful individual as he has attained this position through both personnal resourcefulness and influence over many stratas of the sector's politics.
While mostly seen as a puppet role to quiet those contesting Alexel's legitimacy as both Lord Sector and Lord Inquisitor Goriae, the work of the Lord Magistrate is gigantic and pivotal into keeping the Senatorum Goriae working.
