The peace is kept by 78 guardsmen, and there are 84 advocates to assist with legal matters. For those more concerned about their soul, there are 623 clergymen and 12 priests. Note: Of the 4,939 dwarves in and around "The Holdfast," approximately 2,000 are "embassy guards" for the two Dwarven embassies just outside the city. The city has more legal advocates than guards and the courts are hopelessly backlogged. Serious crimes (violent crimes) are often "referred" to the dwaven court system in one of the embassies, this is for the "benefit of the defendant" who is "assumed innocent" and therefore "should have a swift hearing" the city's courts cannot provided do to "backlog of civil cases."
