Royal Inspector

The Royal Inspector are important figures in Jyushin, featured in **Blade of the Phantom Master**.

## Background

With the collapse of Jyushin, the Royal Inspector system pretty much became obsolete. However, there were still Royal Inspectors alive who chose to carry on their duties, despite not having the army to support them. In fact, many of the Royal Inspectors died at the hands of Wonsul trying to bring justice to the territory Ajitae granted Wonhyo.

All Royal Inspectors are given a medallion as a seal of authority. There are three levels of medallion:

The One-Horse medallion can summon the royal forces/soldiers to make an arrest, but of course, it has to be coordinated beforehand. Thus, after the fall of Jyushin, this medallion was rendered useless.
The Two-Horse medallion has the same function as the one-horse medallion but can also summon the help magicians who can use sorcery to summon phantom soldiers, as Mosu Hae did when apprehending Munsu. Miss Hwang uses a double two-horse medallion and thus is able to directly summon the Gaksi Unit (phantom soldiers) without any help.

## Structure and Members

There are two positions that accompany a Royal Inspector: a Sando and a Footman. However, it seems that not all Royal Inspectors have these positions filled (i.e. Mosu Hae didn't seem to have either Sando or Footman and Munsu didn't have either one for a many years). Furthermore, due to the type of tablet, some of the Royal Inspectors are able to conjure Phantom Soldiers.

## Power and Reach

After the collapse of Jyushin, they essentially had no power or authority whatsoever. However, oddly enough, some kings and rulers were still very much afraid or wary of these Royal Inspectors. This might be the result of Munsu's actions, causing rumors to spread about a Royal Inspector bringing justice. In fact, some people apparently didn't even know Jyushin had collapsed, such as Mongryong who wanted to become a Royal Inspector without knowing Jyushin had collapsed and that position no longer existed.

## Plot Overview

### Fall of Jyushin

After the fall of Jyushin, the role of the Royal Inspector basically become obsolete, but apparently there are still many Royal Inspectors who attempt to bring justice to the corrupt lords. However, since most of them do not have a two-horse or three-horse medallion capable of summoning phantom soldiers, many have died in the process, including Aria and the many Royal Inspectors who tried to bring justice to Wonhyo's territory, but died at the hands of Wonsul.

Some time after the fall of Jyushin, Miss Hwang came in contact with Mito and was able to obtain a double two-horse medallion, being able to summon the Gaksi Unit

## Trivia

* This is an actual position during the Joseon Dynasty. It was a temporary position appointed by the king serving as an undercover official sent to local provinces to monitor government officials. They are provided with certain documents and a "horse requisition tablet" called mapae(마패), which presumably is where the concept of the medallion comes from. After their secret surveillance was completed, they would revealed themselves by presenting the mapae and their inspected results. After their mission, they would return to the capital and report to the king.

However, in the reboot, the translation seems a bit confusing, as it seems to imply the two-horse tablet can conjure phantom soldiers, but in the original Shin Angyo Onshi, it is a bit more clear in explaining the tablet can call on Taoist priest who know magic and can summon phantom soldiers.
