Dyna

How did they get here so fast? They must have been tracking us. *&$# Dyna.
— Aggie Jig
  The Dyna are the keepers of Idran rule. As magical law enforcement, they are humorless, ruthless, and well resourced.   The children of Idra are taught early on that the Dyna are not likely to be swayed by things like emotions or arguments. They tend to operate under the assumption that everyone is guilty of something. The Dyna are willing to work hard enough to find that something. It is best to comply with their investigation, as any resistance will be met with increasing levels of force.

Qualifications

A potential Dyna must complete standard education and then enter the Academy under a specialized program called Dyna Training. They will complete several years of Training including theory, practicals, and some training that is known only to those who have risen to the rank of Dyna.

Appointment

All Dyna must be appointed by the Head of the Dyna, who also assigns them to their jurisdiction.

Duties

Each Dyna is assigned to a jurisdiction with a squad of other Dyna. Their primary responsibility is to uphold order and the rule of Idra. Secondarily, they protect the other members of their squad. Most of a Dyna's time is spent figuring out how to monitor the populace for abuse of music and especially the mixing of types of music. Criminals who mix music are treated with swift justice.

Grounds for Removal/Dismissal

It is theoretically possible for a Dyna to be dismissed from their Squad, but it hasn't happened yet.

Operations

Dyna work in groups, at least two at a time but more often small handfuls. Unlike most members of the citizenry, the Dyna are allowed to mix music in whatever way they see fit to maintain order.   Most Dyna have no qualms about using musical trackers, surveillance, and other musical technology to ensure the appropriate behavior of the populace. They take a skeptical approach to those that call for reform or rights for possible criminals.
