The Lord High Magistrate presides over the city’s court system. He appoints lesser magistrates for each of the city’s districts.

The Lord of the Watch presides over the city’s militia and local enforcement of the Baron’s law.

The Lord Herald heads the defense of the inner keep and is the keeper of all the city’s records.
