"They'll have a library, and baths, gardens, masseurs, whatever.  You might need your Duke ranking before you can take the best ones away from people who did worse on lightline duty, but they'll have the goodies there for you to seize."

"Prisons for criminal sorcerers are, you know, ordained by the rulers of the system who are, how can I say this, sort of emotionally sympathetic to criminal sorcerers.  The system goes way lighter on someone who loots a town by raining fire down on it, compared to how it treats somebody who, say, steals the same amount of gold by cooking books in a merchant consortium.  Sometimes I wonder whether, if continents were ruled by accountants, they'd symmetrically go light on people who embezzled a million gold."
