All Tsuruchi aspired to become a member, and only by being a magistrate and a member of the Tsuruchi family could someone become a legionaire. The legionaires scoured the Empire in small groups doing the "small" jobs of a magistrate, whether it was arbitrating a dispute between two farmers or tracking down a bandit. They took great pride in acting properly, and had been known to speak with members of the Kitsuki family about their methods of investigation and justice.
