Lord Provost
From the Tamora Pierce Wiki
The Lord Provost is an administrative post in Tortall, to which a nobleman is assigned by the King. The Lord Provost's primary responsibility is to oversee the Provost's Guard, the police force of Tortall, especially his own domain Corus.
The first Lord Provost was Padraig haMinch, who held this position for sixteen years from 127 HE to 143 HE. In the middle of the third century HE Gershom of Haryse is the Lord Provost.
There are also several Deputy Provosts, who are responsible for other parts of Tortall and send their reports to the Lord Provost. One of those deputies in the mid-third century of the Human Era was Lionel of Trebond. He was respnsible for Port Caynn as well as the countryside. The Deputy Provost's reach seems to cover the same areas as the respective governor.[1]
