Magisters
The Magisters of Falport pass judgment and sentence those accused and convicted (respectively) of criminal activity committed in Falport and within the areas that Falport controls. Sentences range from small fines to banishment and execution; while sentences handed down by the Magisters generally follow those prescribed by the Falport Compact, Magisters have the latitude in sentencing when the specifics of the crime fall outside the rather general mandates of the Falport Contract.
The decision of a Magister can only be overturned by a Lord of The Circle of Five, however this is a uncommon occurrence.
Key buildings and structures around Falport have Magisters assigned to them to rapidly hear the cases brought before them by the Iron Truncheons. Those arrested in relation to a crime won't have to wait long to receive any punishment due if the evidence is clear.
For their personal protection, and the protection of Falport's legal system, Magisters are always accompanied by no fewer than two veteran Truncheons (who wear a blue and black tabbard) and a mage.
