Original roots pseudo-Germanic, modern language and culture owes more to PM influence (pseudo-French). PMish names particularly common among aristocracy (exotic, cultural excellence -- plus most of them are of Eastern descent).

Law enforcement

(applies to most or all rural areas of the country)

In peacetime, law is traditionally kept by the writer, which is always a local person. (It'a homonym, meaning something different from "writer" as in "somebody who writes".) The writer solves most disputes, except those that need to be referred to the lord (or des steward) because of seriousness or legal complications. The writer has deputies called beagles.

During war times or whenever the master has a standing army, the position of chatling becomes more important. The chatling's duties include keeping order among the soldiers. Usually the chatling desself mainly does paperwork, leaving the day-to-day arrangements of hearings and punishments to des subordinate, called a sousha. ('Sousha' is a word also found outside military contexts, where it can mean one of several civic deputy-type roles.) The chatling is authorised to perform marriages during wars.

Other things called Woking

Woking is also a town in the county of Surrey, England [1], notable primarily for being attacked by Martians in The War of the Worlds and secondarily for being home to some of Mutt's ancestry.

Word of God states that the name of the fictional Woking was actually arrived at by taking "two kings", removing the first and last letters and running the remaining letters together - although, obviously, the result was made more attractive by the coincidence in name.
