The Trackts are the law enforcement agents of Lossand on the Dayside on Taldain. Their headquarters is in Trackt Hall inside of the Hall of Judgement.[1]
Appearance
Trackts all wear dark grey boots and pants with a lighter grey robe and a dark grey cape over that. They all have brown belts with silver buckles that have many pouches on them. For weapons, they have five wooden tubes that each shoot out arrows strapped to one or both arms. [2]
History
The trackts are one of the eight Professions represented in the Taishin with the Lady Judge, who is currently Heelis, as their leader.[1] Their day to day duties, however, are overseen by the Senior Trackt, who is currently unknown. The trackts seek to be impartial when it comes to the law.[1]
During the events of White Sand, the trackts are seeking to capture the crime lord Sharezan. While Senior Trackt Ais is acting as bodyguard for Kenton, Tain is put in charge of the investigation.[3] After successfully raiding one of Sharezan’s dens and hearing that one of his main allies wants to split with the organization, the trackts offer sanctuary for them in return for information.{{book ref|ws3|1} When that ally, Lord General Raagent, tries to meet up with them, however, Sharezan causes an explosion at the meeting place.[4] Once Raagent goes missing, he is found murdered by Sharezan with his eyelids cut off in his chilling cellar for wine.[5]
After hearing from Tain that Lokmlen, one of Sharezan’s associates who Ais captured when she was still heading the investigation, broke, she goes with him to the supposed location of Sharezan’s safehouse, Tain reveals that he is Sharezan and gives Ais the choice between rescuing her family or the children at the orphanage she grew up at. She tells an unnamed trackt she runs into along the way to go to the orphanage and arrives at her house to see Kenton defeating Tain. Tain is then imprisoned to be tried for his crimes.[6]
After all of this takes place, Ais decides to resign from the trackts and leaves Lossand with her family.[6][7]
