Wandering Judge

A background for the Troika! TTRPG.

Made for the Troika! Community Jam: Backgrounds 2024

Presiding over court can be a challenge in the city of Troika. There’s no Sphere in the sky that sharp litigators won’t look to in search of some new, and very relevant to this matter before you your honour, legal precedent to refer to in service of their client. It takes an equally sharp legal mind to navigate these courtroom combats and rule justly in the spirit of multiversal law. These city judges are rightfully afforded a great deal of respect.

And then there’s you.

Now, you may not be some fancy big city law type (from *The* big city) but out there in countryside, people still need someone to bang a gavel, deny a motion and maybe even issue a summary judgement or two. And for a nice night’s stay in the local inn or a few gold coins (or the local equivalent) that someone could be you! And should your judgements get appealed by some higher court, well you’ll probably be long gone by then anyway.
