Bureau Chief Jamis

Jamis, Bureau Chief of the Ad Hoc Bureau of Courts (B2 rating), has spent most of her 40 years studying law and legal precedents. An excellent judge of character, she asks probing questions that get directly to the heart of a matter — usually, a decision regarding assignments for court functionaries. This fair and impartial judge, so well versed in the law and able to make sound decisions fast, usually handles the few appeals that reach her in record time.   Dark-complected Jamis has a handsome face, a plump figure, and a dazzling smile. The priesthood of a god of knowledge prepared her well for a career with the Guvners. In fact, Jamis appears likely to ascend to a B1 rating within the faction at the next opening, and folks consider her a probable eventual choice for factol — if she outlives Hashkar, that is. Her main competition, Nancias Garabutos, rules the Fortress of Disciplined Enlightenment, the faction's headquarters on Mechanus.   In addition to his hours consulting with Bureau Chief Jamis in chambers. Factol Hashkar spends quite a bit of time in his private quarters on the main floor. This orderly set of rooms, connected to the Grand Court's chambers by a short hallway, also leads down stairs into the faction's library. Hashkar does conduct faction business in his quarters, though he prefers to spend his time researching one of the hundreds of volumes he keeps there.   Down a short staircase from the factol's quarters (and from several other first-floor locations) begins the library of the Guvners, called the Vault of Knowledge. It consists of the first three sublevels beneath the Court, all 20 to 30 feet from floor to ceiling and packed with books and scrolls, neatly arranged and catalogued for easy access. Only a Guvner may enter: others can't be trusted to touch the valuable books of law, spells, and other myriad knowledge found here.   Faction high-ups have their offices on the second floor of the main building as well as the top floor of the tower. Also on the second level are dormitories for Aides (namers), quarters for Administrators (factotums), and twin chambers containing all the city's court records. 'Course, any leatherhead can see that these records rooms couldn't even hold Sigil's judicial annals from the last year, let alone materials dating back centuries. Only officials of at least factor level can access hidden portals in these rooms that open into pocket demiplanes where the Fraternity of Order stores the hulk of court records.
