[QUOTE="Mallus, post: 4417493, member: 3887"] The rest of the port Magistrates: [list]Lord Myles Lively and Lady Lively are a rarity; a pair of married Magistrates. Lord Lively is a famous bon vivant and Lady Lively is known for her charitable activities. He is often described as having a ‘delicate cast’ to his face and she as having ‘large hands’. They are never seen together at the same time and it’s likely that they are, in fact, the same person. Lord Lively is also reputed to be the head of one of the port’s newest syndicates; a sort of entertainers union based in the Quadrille that dabbles in the more criminal forms of pleasure, the so-called Guild of Revelry.
