Lantern Wolf
Overview
The Lantern Wolf is an Imperial title awarded to a citizen of the League. The announcement to construct the Office of the Lantern Wolf was made by Gustavus Tolski van Temeschwar, as the Chair of the Wolf, in Winter 385YE. The Lantern Wolf has a number of responsibilities associated with investigating potential criminals in the League. The title was created as a result of an opportunity presented in the Battle cries wind of fortune.
Responsibilities
The Lantern Wolf is responsible for ensuring that criminals and rules-breakers in the League are identified and brought to book, to do this they are expected to work with the magistrates to bring criminals operating in or threatening the League cities to justice. They are expected to cooperate with the League Assembly to help them use the power of inquisition against those suspected of breaking the rules and to recruit trustworthy allies that would help them secretly keep tabs on potential lawbreakers. Ultimately, the Lantern Wolf is expected to poke their nose into everyone's business.
Powers

In the end, it is up to the title holder how the money should be used.
