The Saurian Arbitrator’s Guild (SAG) is the governing body that assigns missions to arbitrators like Fabum Rajasauros. It operates on The Crucible, an impossibly large construct where diverse species and landscapes have been brought together.
Role and Responsibilities:
- The primary role of the SAG is to dispatch arbitrators to areas on The Crucible experiencing disputes or lacking law enforcement.
- Arbitrators are expected to be unbiased and travel across the Crucible from villages to settlements to cities, offering their services as judges to settle intractable conflicts or oversee trials and mete out punishments.
- Arbitrators may also act as agents of justice or bounty hunters, becoming skilled in dispensing violence, particularly in lawless areas or when culprits evade local officials.
Structure and Membership:
- The SAG has a headquarters located in the city-state of Partum Mechanica.
- The guild has superiors who assign missions and manage arbitrators. Priethest, a Pampadromaeus, is Fabum’s inexperienced superior within the SAG. Priethest’s actions suggest the guild may suffer from mismanagement and extravagance.
- Recruits join the SAG and may be assigned to work with more experienced arbitrators. Doceep, a Goyocephale, was a new recruit assigned to work with Fabum. It was later revealed that Doceep was a scientist previously studying aember at Partum Mechanica before being transferred to the SAG, and was secretly working for a more secretive division within the guild on a mission related to Martian hypnosis technology.
- The SAG has access to resources and may procure vehicles for its arbitrators, such as large, saddled pterosaurs, although they may not always consider the specific needs of these creatures.
- There appears to be a hierarchy within the SAG, as Doceep mentioned contacting Saurian Arbitrators’ Guild Level Nine for reinforcements.
Internal Dynamics and Challenges:
- The SAG might suffer from inefficiency and mismanagement, as indicated by Priethest’s focus on a fete rather than Fabum’s urgent investigation.
- There are hints of internal secrecy and hidden agendas within the guild, exemplified by Doceep’s secret mission and his inability to share information with Fabum due to security clearance.
- The guild may not always provide adequate support or resources for its arbitrators.
Known Members:
- Fabum Rajasauros: A Saurian Rajasaurus Arbitrator.
- Priethest: Fabum’s superior, a Pampadromaeus.
- Doceep: A Goyocephale recruit and arbitrator.
