Yongardy Leguleian

A submission for the Troika! Community Jam: Bestiary 2024. (F42850B6)

This trial combatant/bounty-hunter/quibble-settler can be dropped into your Troika! game as a random encounter, party pursuer (which irascible NPC did they minorly offend?), or begrudging comrade (Henchman, Troika! p. 37) to a fellow lawyer of Yongardy (Backgrounds, Troika! p. 27).

***

Leguleians are itinerant practitioners of Yongardy law, albeit through a monocled lens of frontier justice. Those derided as "pettifoggers" have forsworn the wealth of celebrated barristers and ruthlessly settle petty quibbles for little more than their daily bread. A gnash of gremlins once scrounged up enough pence to send a leguleian after the adventurers who had likewise been paid to destroy their nest. Though leguleians prefer to be the wandering arm of the law, some are found under retainer to manticores who crave archaic legal debates and bloody trials on demand.
