Magistrates
Petty rulers who weaponize paperwork and forgotten laws, squeezing coin or compliance from anyone under their authority.
Members
Harbormaster (Creature 3), Judge (Creature -1), Tax Collector (Creature -1), Warden (Creature 6)
Magistrates can conscript others into service in a variety of positions.
Harbormaster: Bosun, dockhand, guard, ship captain. Judge: Captain of the guard, executioner, guard, jailer Tax Collector: Captain of the guard, guard, jailer, watch officer
A magistrate can weaponize the bureaucracy. A judge might enforce an archaic law generally ignored yet still on the books. A tax collector could ask for the seal of a lord who is out of the region. The harbormaster could require all fees in local coin, fully aware money changers won't be open for days.
