The Magistrate

The Magistrate, also known as The Autarch's Magistrate or Her Magistrate, was an informal organization and a group of courtiers in the Drakesland that assembled around the figure of the Crown Princess of Valreach and later Autarch of the Drakaen Köntrybund, Delta Aulian-Drake & Canalopin. It was formed in the Winter Palace by Nibury around the year 142 TE. With only a bunch of members left when the Drakaen Köntrybund was dissolved, the group disapeared, de facto, after Delta's suicide in Nidaros, in 160 TE.
== Nature ==
The purpose and intentions of the Magistrate are matter of discussion among historians. Most probably, it was a group of interest or a faction within Valrean and Drakaen politics that shared ideas about the way the continent had to be structured. However, the diversity and personality of certain characters within the court differs from the conception that they all shared a common goal. If they did, whatever the goal was, it is unknown.
Some outsiders suggest this group was some kind of cult. Supported by the strange claims of villagers living near the Winter Palace, some people claimed that demonic rituals were often conducted by the members of the Magistrate in Delta's palace in the Frosty Grove. If the stories are to be believed, these rituals would have been centered around crystals of unknown origin with magical properties. Some servants surely saw part of extravegant parties, as well as substantial and exotic feasts hosted by Crown Princess Delta for her Magistrate. Some even include the consumtion of Nidaros' special as a common activity among the magistrate in their meetings.
What it was publicly known about the Magistrate is their involvement in public projects all across the Duchy of Greater Nidaros and North-Eastern Valreach. These projects were usually related to construction of gardens or commission of statues and memorials. All these works made people think of the Magistrate as a cultural group of sorts within the Drakesland.
