+ | The splitting of T'or into two very discrete and distinct entities was the first well-documented instance of divine aspects' | ||
+ | |||
+ | T'or upholds a level of law above the laws of nations and planes, known as the //Will of T'or// or, to the Cahyalian Maru, the //Edict of Marutuk//. This law governs the actions of his priests, defining a certain baseline of justice for the world to be measured against. This Will is a nebulous and incredibly complex thing, and is simply understood intuitively by the Master Lawkeeper' | ||

+ | ===== 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' | ||

Though they disagree on some dogmatic details, it is mostly accepted that they must cooperate to carry out the Will of T'or, and infighting is nothing but harmful. Within both Enclaves and Stockades, there are a few general groups of people carrying out various responsibilities. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Adjudicators & Arbitrators ==== | ||
+ | These priests go out and investigate criminal and civil cases. They will follow the laws of the land, measuring their justness against the Will of T'or, when handing down punishment. They serve as local police or judges. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Eyes of the Lawkeeper ==== | ||
+ | These priests are the internal police of the priesthood. They investigate any priest that a complaint is issued against and deal out proper punishment. The main job of this group is to ensure priests are following the Will of T’or at all times and eliminate corruption. | ||

+ | ==== The Ready Militia ==== | ||
+ | Generally, this group is located in an Enclave and not a Stockade. This is a fighting force that is ready to defend both the Enclave and a region against injustice and evil. The faction of True Justice typical defers this responsibility to the regional government. | ||
