[08:56] Kati Evans: Sometimes when I tell stories at these, people then think of things that the want to ask. I use to teach in this manner a lot in a couple of towns.
[08:57] Kati Evans: A bit less formal and helped those in the city get their current questions answered.
[08:57] Kati Evans: Though I was usually seated too.
[08:58] Kati Evans: Morning Trygg and Abraham.

[09:01] Odette Atheria: much
[09:02] Kati Evans: Once again, I am Lady Kati Evans of Teletus. I am the Ubara's Council and a Magistrate of our City. I have been a magistrate in various cities in this world for over 15 years and I want to welcome you.
[09:02] Kati Evans: This is ASK A MAGISTRATE ANYTHING, so more of a question and answer session. So you have a part to play in this and will determine what is discussed.
[09:02] Kati Evans: I will answer from my knowledge and study of where I have been in our world, which for the most part is central along the Vosk River, the islands around Cos, citiess in the Voltai Mountains, and for while in Turia. I have only visited the North a few times and was not there long enough to learn the culture of the area. So lets begin...

[09:07] Kati Evans: I had been there a couple of month by then as was starting to feel at home.
[09:08] Kati Evans: Then one morning there was a big commotion in the infirmary and the woman in there came running out screaming.
[09:09] ꝀȺɌ (karisima.stein) entered chat range (14.66 m).
[09:09] Kati Evans: Now I was a highly curious young woman at the time and rather than running away, silly me went to go see what was going on.
[09:10] Kati Evans: I had spoken with the head magistrate a few days before and he had asked me to kind of be his eyes and ears when he was not in the city, So that just added fuel to the fire.
[09:11] Kati Evans: I HAD to go see.
[09:11] Tyan Cabot (tyancabot) is online.
[09:12] Kati Evans: So I went into the infirmary a bit cautious yet driven and peeked around the doorway.... and froze.
[09:12] Kati Evans: Two warriors who were injured were fighting each other.
[09:13] Kati Evans: Things were flying every which way and breaking.
[09:13] Kati Evans: Some how they had gotten their swords and were doing battle right there and then.
[09:14] Kati Evans: My eyes must have been as big as saucers.
[09:14] Tyan Cabot (tyancabot) entered chat range (14.67 m).
[09:14] Kati Evans: Then one of them noticed me and asked what I was doing there. Saying I was a little stupid for being there.
[09:16] Odette Atheria slips Lady Kati a question quietly.
[09:16] Kati Evans: I said kind of quietly that I was wondering why they were fighting as they both were bandaged and obviously injured.

[09:17] Kati Evans: They were so shocked that I was there and did not run that they started answering my questions.

[09:19] Kati Evans: I spent the rest of the night and into the morning interviewing both, writing upp a report, and putting my recommendation on it as to what laws and quotes I thought applied and gave it to the Head Magistrate the next morning.
[09:20] Kati Evans: That is how I became a Magistrate.
[09:20] Kati Evans: I was hired on the spot.
[09:20] Kati Evans: Grins
[09:20] Odette Atheria: Excellent
[09:20] Davor O'Donnell (davoroflaura): appaluds
[09:20] Kati Evans looks at the paper I was handed.
[09:21] Kati Evans: The paper reads --- Odette Atheria: Question for you: "You know the structure of the Isle of Teletus: that there is a walled city and a small , but growing, contingent of people, some lawful and some not, settling nier the piers in the location called Sharkbait Cove. Can those who are NOT caste-less, but choose to live in the Cove rather than the City, be denied the ability to hold the Head position and to vote in those selections?
[09:22] Kati Evans: Oh sticking me with a big one. Well to start off with, you have to find out what the laws of the city are. It partly depends on whaat the Ubar and Ubara want.
[09:25] Kati Evans: Hum, my opinion....

[09:29] Kati Evans: As for who can vote and who can not, in the scrolls those that are outlaws can be hunted down and killed, as they have chosen to leave the caste... those of a caste yet live in the Cove should have a vote... they have not given up their caste, just live in different housing.
[09:29] Kati Evans: House with more danger than I want, myself.
[09:29] Kati Evans: Bea, what is it?
[09:30] Odette Atheria: "thank you, Kati."
[09:32] BB Arliss (busybee.ashbourne) is offline.
[09:32] Bea Lael (lifepath) smile and gets up from her seat. "Thank you very much. Magistrate Kati, have you ever had to rule in a case involving another Magistrate that had been placed on trial for some questionable act? If so, was it difficult to make your ruling and was it accepted as just?
[09:34] Kati Evans: There was a case... hum right now I can't remember in which ity but it was one of the larger ones as we had more than one Magistrate... three if my memory serves.

[09:36] BB Arliss (busybee.ashbourne) is offline.
[09:36] Kati Evans: The one actually started doing things that appeared treasonous and was eventually tried and convicted. I did investigating for that case and the Head Magistrage he sat in judgment. It did not go well for the man accused.
[09:36] Abraham Jacobson (abrahamjacobs2): He was put in jail and them busted down to clerk

[09:38] Kati Evans: Yes Trygg
[09:38] Trygg Tyran (tryggtyran): Thank you Kati. Unfortunately our debaters on day 1 each prepared the same case, so we didn't get a real debate on the question of female scribes in positions of authority, such as magistrate or Head of Caste. But my question to you is about your personal experience. Have you, as a magistrate, ever received dismissive or unfair treatment from the men in the scribes caste by virtue of your gender?

I have been lucky to have never been hurt or injured thanks to the warriors. They even helped when I had to enter the taven in the cities to point someone out.
[09:42] Kati Evans: I feel I was very blessed by their support.

[09:43] Bea Lael (lifepath) was about ask a similar one
[09:43] Kati Evans: Part of these reason I think is I made a point to get to know the warriors as often my office was by the gate of the citiies just like theirs.
[09:44] Kati Evans: Once I told people I was a Magistrate, I was always treated with respect back then.

[09:49] Kati Evans: (10 years x 20 hours a week of study)
[09:51] Kati Evans: A Magistrate position is to interpret and act upon the laws of the city and over the years I have done that, sometimes the results were not what I wanted but they were in accord with the law.

Though I am empathetic about the disrespect you have received in recent years. I can relate in ways.. Last year I was Assistant Head Merchant and had great authority, since the Head Merchant was never around or always quit the job. So i was over all the Merchants of a city i used to live in and wanted to improve the commerce of the city, though... a certain person in power, another woman, did not think me capable. In fact, when I was trying to clarify the importance of something that would affect the respect and dignity of all Merchants... her response to me was 'You are just a woman,' and I had to go through hell and high water just to get my concern addressed and almost taken care of, but it was by the Ubar of that city and the male High Magistrate. So my opposition mostly came from a woman... unfortunately." Cleared her throat. "But, I digress... I
