Personally I would prefer to have guards with the spine to refuse questionable/sketchy orders. Especially given all the change and illusion magic running around in LaGaRa.
A central philosophical issue with worlds, possible or impossible, is how they represent what they represent. This is obviously connected to the problem of what kind of things they are. Perhaps impossible worlds are metaphysically different from possible worlds, and represent in a different way. Or perhaps they are metaphysically on par with possible worlds. Or, they may be taken as nonexistent objects. Or as abstract entities which represent by encoding...

Unfortunately, you'd have to build that school of guard discipline from the ground up.

I feel like with the persistent fear of tricksters/shapeshifters then there would be some demand from that.  Though I guess it would also depend on whether these people are 'just' rich landowners or titled aristocrats with some kind of legal jurisdiction over the surrounding area.
