 ===== Aspects ===== ===== Aspects =====
 Though each aspect is thought to have a true name, the name of Righteousness is not known, and True Justice is only referred to as Marutuk on Cahyali. Note that even though Marutuk is the Cahyalian deity, Cahyalian T'orites are **not** required to be associated with the True Justice faction or vice versa. Scholars and T'orites consider the two aspects to be wholly different gods which bear the same title and work in tandem to uphold their shared domain. Though each aspect is thought to have a true name, the name of Righteousness is not known, and True Justice is only referred to as Marutuk on Cahyali.

 +Marutuk and Righteousness look almost exactly the same, like twins. They appear as fully-grown, well-muscled men of indeterminate humanoid race. Their hair is styled differently each time they appear, but is always short enough to keep out of the face or tied back. They are usually seen in the iconic War Harness of T'or, a form of leather armor often warn by their priests. The colors of their vestments differ, with Marutuk dressing in dark monotones and Righteousness in bright gold. Marutuk has a scar across his right eye, and Righteousness has one across his left.
