Mage Judicators/Justicars

Summary

Mage Judicators or Justicars are authorities tied to Seaward, major settlements, Grand Towers, and Barrier oversight.

Known Details

  • Basalik warned the party to keep on their good side in Seaward.
  • Justicars were reporting to major settlements after Barrier attacks.
  • The Seaward Justicar checked books and crystal only with an eyeglass, while Elementarium wanted the Justicar gone.
  • Underground groups wanted the Justicar kept out of the salt dragon prison.
  • Later Justiciars were leaving Grand Towers to five points.
  • Day 32 Justicars looked for Xinquiss at the Hartwall auction, attempted Counterspell when Mith teleported away, took the llama-form false Lady Thorpe to Grand Towers, and had a quashed party arrest warrant from someone high up.
  • Browning / Skutey Galvin was wanted for impersonating a Justicar.
  • Day 35’s Lady Yadreya Egrine resembled or reminded the party of the twin Justicar guards met on the way to Seaward.
  • On Day 56, four Juticars appeared through tears in Grand Towers, including Scumbleduck/Scumbledunk, a rubber-eyed figure, a silver dragonborn, and another. They addressed Justicar Geldrin, said his mission was compromised after a worm was removed, and referenced a prognostic machine.
  • Scumbledunk later betrayed the party and teleported away after overhearing discussion of Browning.
