<p>Not to be confused with the <a href="https://xaeyruudh.wordpress.com/2012/01/07/magister-mystra/" title="The Magister">Magister</a> who serves <a href="https://xaeyruudh.wordpress.com/2012/02/13/mystra/" title="Mystra">Mystra</a>.</p>
<h3>At a Glance</h3>
<p>There are twenty-six Magisters, or magistrates, or Black Robes, in Waterdeep.  They hear cases in court at the Palace.  During the daylight hours, there is also a Magister at each of the city gates.  Anyone who is unhappy with the Magister&#8217;s sentence can appeal to the Lord&#8217;s Court.  In such appeals, the Magisters&#8217; word is usually upheld, or reworded in a minor way.</p>
<p>The Lord&#8217;s Court is chaired by <a href="https://xaeyruudh.wordpress.com/2012/01/26/piergeiron/" title="Piergeiron the Paladinson">Piergeiron</a>, and always attended by at least two other <a href="https://xaeyruudh.wordpress.com/2012/06/14/lords-of-waterdeep/" title="The Lords of Waterdeep">Lords</a>.  Murders and other severe crimes, suspicious deaths, rape, misuse of magic, etc, bypass the Magisters and go directly to the Lord&#8217;s Court.</p>
<p>Magisters should be played as good, perceptive, and incorruptible.</p>
