The Scale serves as the Judge's hand as it seeks to impose order and balance across Færrin. The seat of the Scale's power is their Stronghold -- a citadel in the Opaline Mountains that sits on a conjunction of leylines.
The Scale operates as an extranational form of governance with stronger guarantees than any nation could provide. The organization is split into the following groups, in order of rarity:
Pactbrokers oversee contracts between parties, ensuring that both sides hold up their end, no matter what.
Arbiters track down those who have escaped justice and deliver them their due.
Overseers stop those seeking to seal the Gods away again, returning the planet to the Dark Ages.
Timekeepers prevent meddling with the time stream, preventing the creation of paradoxes.
The average person would be most familiar with the Pactbrokers -- in most cities, one can find a member of the Scale who will (for a fee) witness the signing of a contract. Magic imbued in the contract will monitor the signees, and deviating from one's responsibilities will bring the full might of the Scale down on the contract-breaker.
Unlike many organisations that farm such work out to independent contractors, The Scale keeps its bounty hunting strictly in-house — only its own arbiters are empowered to pursue and recover marks.
