Demos (Politics)

Queen Meg rules with a firm hand. After the lawless times that succeeded the fall of the Sylvan Empire, many appreciate the order she has brought. I have had the opportunity to speak to the Queen several times. If the yoke of justice is heavy on her people, I believe it is not from a tendency toward absolutism so much as a deep passion for fair dealings. She is offended by crime and dishonesty, not because of the slight against her word, but because it is a slight against law and society.

Agents
She has a strong guard who are well-armed and patrol regularly in force. Her magistrates are travelling justices who give judgement and sentences where the offense occurred. All her agents wear her livery and announce themselves as serving the queen.

Capabilities
Within the area of her influence, her laws are clear and enforced. Do not break them if you can. You will find that it is possible to do our work while committing no crimes. I advise you to practice this and you will receive no trouble from Queen Meg’s forces.

Agenda
It is the queen’s desire to extend the influence of Demos because her laws let people live more safely and prosperously. To that end she builds her guard force, the goodwill of the countryside, and gives clear warnings to those who would meddle in what she sees as the affairs of Demos.
