Editing Ptarian Order (section)

== Organization ==
The Ptarian order is a highly structured organization working in a decentralized manner. The Order is largely divided into independent Cantons, each of which have their own area of responsibility. 

Each Canton works towards the same or similar goals in accordance with to the Ptarian Code, doing so under its own local command and in a way that fits the needs of the location. Cantons are usually compact - serving at most a city or sparsely populated province, so as to keep their focus contained without the risk of spreading themselves too thin.
What is always true, though, is the structure:
Each chapter is headed by a Scale Bearer, who often functions as the local guard captain, communicates with other Cantons, and reports to the larger organization of the Order. They command the Conscripts (Ptarian Order initiates) and local guard forces. The Scale Bearer may have one or more Hands under their command as well.
A Talon (full title Talon of the Justice Bringer) is an independent agent of the order who either serves a specific Canton, or a specific mission. They have the authority to command conscripts at all times, and depending on their mission even higher ranked officers within the order.
I imagine your character would be a Talon, who reports to a Scale Bearer back in Suhder.
