Komfre Legal System
Government Structure
The mage Komfre sits at the top of the government with an absolute fist - whatever he says is law, is law. He has several advisors that consist of former magistrates, mages, and merchants. On occasion, Komfre will call an Assembly and let the common people bring their grievances to his attention. It is often speculated that they are simply there to make his claim to power more believable and not because the advisors offer any real wisdom or because he actually listens to his people.
There are very few hard laws where a line is drawn and those that do exist are about keeping the gold flowing into Komfre. They intend to provide basic protection to traders, a hypothetically free market, and a restriction against using magic in trade deals.
Law Enforcement
Komfre has two groups of law enforcement: the merchant guards and the mage enforcers.
The merchant guards attempt to protect the more reputable vendors in the streets selling food or common wares. When there is a dispute, the guards escort the involved parties to the Court of Trade to deal with it.
The mage enforcers punish mages who have tried to abuse magic within the city limits, such as threatening someone into giving them a discount or other sorts of persuasion and manipulation. Most mages are punished in the Arcane Court.
