chancellor

Second in command of the tribunal, Guy of Jerbiton holds this position. He holds the Great Sigil of the tribunal, without which no edict is considered legal in the tribunal.

treasurer

Pisca of House Criamon is the head of the Exchequer. Pisca is a devotee of mathematics, and seeks the enigma in the pure science of numbers. While this sometimes leads to strange tax schemes as he tries to investigate a mathematical theory, for the most part he can be counted upon to collect the taxes and tributes owed to Martial's government.

justiciar

Felicitor of House Guernicus. Felicitor is charged with keeping the peace in the tribunal, and has been given extraordinary powers in the Stonehenge Tribunal. He oversees a number of itinerant Quaesitors (Quaesitors in eyre) who travel a circuit between the various covenants. Each Quaesitor in eyre is also vested as a mundane justice in eyre, well-versed in mundane law (both civil and canon) and part of the mundane judiciary. Each Quaesitor in eyre is accompanied by several knights, men at arms and foot soldiers, in addition to at least two magi who enforce his decrees on Hermetic matters.

mage marshall

Pertego of Tytalus controls a force of combat-specialized mages, who act as guards for the major officers, accompany the itinerant justices, and oversee Certamen duels. Martial has decreed that Certamen must be overseen by a member of his court, seen by many magi as an infringement on their rights.
