Magistrates of the Wax Mask
From Changeling Venue
Contents |
Overview
"And so I give myself over to the will of the freehold and act on its behalf to ensure that the games and festivals of old are honored. I am a humble servant."
The Magistrates of the Wax Mask pretend that they are not a noble order at all, but are instead servants of the people acting in the interest of the freehold's greater good. This is true, to a point, but hardly depicts the full nature of this order. * The Magistrates help to ensure that a Court keeps up its Contracts and pledges with the Changelings of the freehold, providing them with the proper festivals, games and other events. Such events are critical to many freeholds; while some events are nothing more than mere celebrations, others are about renewing treaties and pledges with the world at large. * Such festivals and games do not go off easily. A court may be woefully unprepared for an event's planning, failing to invite the appropriate guests or procure the proper items. * Enter the Magistrates, who have a long legacy of providing the Courts with their aid in regard to such events. Some simply add their help when the Court asks for it. In other cases, the ruling Court may hand over the reins and let this order of changelings control the whole affair.

Rumours
- Supposedly, the Magistrates hold their own clandestine festival once a year, called the Renewal of the Mockeries. Beforehand, they form effigies of all the changelings the Magistrates detest, which often includes many of those in power. This festival is said to be part of the order's old Oaths. Without it, the order would fall apart.
- The Magistrates keep a massive network of ensorcelled mortals, each with a hidden number tattooed or branded on its skin, and no whan knows where they are nor what is their purpose.
- Never peel away a Magistrate's mask. One of the Ogres of the Court of Sorrow did that a few years back, and couldn't talk about what he saw underneath for weeks!
