Appointed Sherrif of Camos after the death of Persival the Elder.Organizations at Large in Arcosia:Longstock: The headquarters of the city guard.  Sometimes used to refer to the guards themselves.The Thieve's Guild (the Hornets): Originally one of two large theive's guilds in Arcosia, the Hornets wiped out the Hounds in a bloody turf war at the conclusion of the Invasion.  The guild has been very quiet in the last five years, since Barota was appointed Sherrif and strung up a number of guild members in a righteous criminal purge.  Included in their number was one of the guildmasters, the infamous Han Nickelby.  The Hornets seem to have dropped out of their more overt activities like assassination and have kept a low profile.The Spriggans: Called freedom fighters by some, criminals by others, the Spriggans are a organization consisting of a number of displaced Dwarven clans.  Originally concerned with creating an underground that smuggled Dwarves out of Grimdale during the Invasion, the Camos chapter at least has taken to more criminal activity since the death of the last patriarchs.Dogs of War (Herakletics):  A Marguardin ascetic religious sect that worships the warrior demigod Heraklos.  They see life as a neverending battle and seek a glorious death so that they will have earned rest in the afterlife and not be recalled(reincarnated) to this miserable existence.The Mechanist Guild (Metalmen): An organization of wealthy merchants and mechanists, who basically lobby the king's council for more favourable legislation for industrial sectors.The University: Built originally out of a small keep, the university has expanded outward, gaining layers of buildings and construction as the years went by and the prestige of the school grew.  The university offers an excellent classical studies program, and is unmatched in the areas of arcane study and mechanics.  Only the University of Mossgarden in Heneleh has a stronger bardic tradition.  Arcosia beats out Mossgarden in arcane studies only because the city has attracted the best talents for both its faculty and its students and have access to much better facilities.It also has access to its own race track and stables, and a field for physical activities.There is a residence for each gender, set on opposite sides of the campus.The City Districts:Ravenscraig: The residential district which is the location of the school and the Horsehold race track.Cockscombe: A poorer, slum residential district.  Home to most of the lower-class citizens of Arcosia.Rooksbridge: The industrial district, with the city's largest two largest clocktowers.Swanbridge: A residential district, known for its beautiful parks.  The River Westering dominates this district more than any other in the city.Coventry: The magic quarter; the smallest of the districts.Crowngate: A wealthy residential area surrounding the royal palace - the seat of local government.Fishering: the market, commercial area.Rainhold: The island penal colony, to the west of the city proper in the Unbroken Sea.</blockquote>
