The higher ranked Judge Magisters, in addition to functioning as chief arbiters and enforcers of Archadian law, are also the elite guard of House Solidor which effectively makes them the commanders of the Imperial Army. The Judge Magisters wield quite a bit of magickal and physical power. They are called on sometimes to guard high profile people such as Princess Ashe or Lord Larsa Solidor. They are also sent on the most sensitive and important missions, such as retrieving the Dusk Shard or the Sword of Kings.
