The Caste of Scribes includes many Subcastes such as: Magistrates, Scholars, Record Keepers, Teachers, Clerks, Historians, Accountants, and Explorer/Mapmakers, and according to some, the Litigators. .....Magistrates...Ajudicate and decide matters of litigation in both crimes and torts. May be the only subcaste to get along with the Litigators, and even then it's usually an advisarial relationship. .....Scholars...Collect, research, and teach knowledge for knowledge sake. Tend to be absent-minded, though can get very passionate about obscure points of research. .....Record Keepers...Responsible for maintaining City records of property ownership and bloodlines. Often record sales and debt settlements for Merchants, although the financial (numerical) records are handled by the accoutants. Called upon to be Official Witnesses. .....Teachers...Involved in teaching of all levels of general Gorean Knowledge (especially the Gorean language, both written and spoken) and educating youth. .....Clerks...Responsible for recording protocols of meetings, for writing corespondance, copying scrolls, and teaching penmenship. Many consider other Scribe sub-castes' handwriting an offense to civilization. .....Historians...Responsible for maintaining historical records, and teaching the local City-approved version of Gorean History. May not be able to tell the difference; scions of Gorean "doublethink", knowing one thing but thinking (and saying) another. Also called upon for official testamony, though few believe them when acting in this capacity. .....Accountants...Maintain bookkeeping records and accounts, and are the repository for the arcane knowledge of double-entry accounting and multiple ledger records. .....Explorers/Mapmakers...Responsible for collecting and disseminating geographical and sociological information, as well as being the diplomatic corps for their City. Sometimes known as the "militant" arm of the Scribes, but no Explorer/Mapmaker will admit that. Reputed to perform "black" or undercover operations of various types for their Cities. .....Litigators...Present cases to Magistrates, and argue for and against the litigants. Many believe that Litigators are also a subcaste of the Scribes, although in some cities (Lara, for instance), Litigators wear the Black of Assassins. And are as well loved. |
