Margret Loken

Margret Loken, a woman molded by the harsh crucible of fate, stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Her story begins with the tragic backdrop of an orc raid, an event that marked her youth with scars both physical and emotional. From the ashes of that dark night emerged her son, Zahariel Loken, a half-orc whose existence bore witness to the brutality of the world. Despite the scars of her past, Margret embraced motherhood with an unyielding love for Zahariel. Her decision to move closer to the protective walls of the Gritia Dynasty was not just a strategic relocation but a symbolic gesture of defiance against the chaos that had once shattered her life. Yet, within those walls, she found solace not just in the stone ramparts but in the unwavering faith she placed in Asus, the god of law. Her devotion bordered on zealotry, a beacon of strength that illuminated her darkest days.
Margret's daily prayers to Asus became a ritual, a plea for the safety of her beloved son. It's a mysterious dance between her faith and Zahariel's indomitable spirit that seems to have kept him alive through countless battles. Her superstitions, whispered in the quiet corners of her home, are known only to the shadows, and yet they weave a protective thread around Zahariel, much like the unseen armor he wears into battle.
While suffering from the heavy burden of xenophobia, a product of her painful past, Margret remains a paragon of love and strength. Her nurturing presence within the Wererat Investigation Bureau is not just acknowledged but revered. In the hallowed halls of the Bureau, where shadows dance with the echoes of secrets, Margret stands as a symbol of maternal fortitude—a woman whose love transcends the scars of the past, and whose prayers echo in the silent spaces where gods and mortals meet.

Tenets of Faith

Tenets of Asus, the God of Law:
Order and Equilibrium:

1. The Scales of Justice: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, both in the grand tapestry of existence and the life of an individual. Maintain balance in your words, deeds, and thoughts.
2. The Unbending Sword: Uphold the law with unwavering resolve, but temper justice with mercy. For a law without compassion becomes tyranny, and mercy without justice fuels chaos.
3. The Harmony of the Weave: The universe is a complex tapestry woven by law. Seek to understand its patterns, respect its intricacies, and ensure your actions don't unravel the delicate threads of order.

Duty and Responsibility:

1. The Oath Unbroken: Swear by your convictions, for oaths are threads binding your soul to the fabric of law. To break them is to tear at the very fabric of reality.
2. The Burden of Choice: Every choice has consequences, both for yourself and the world around you. Choose wisely, with awareness of the ripple effects your actions may create.
3. The Call to Service: Those with power have a responsibility to protect the weak and uphold the law. Offer your strength to those in need, and guide them towards a path of order.

Personal Conduct and Self-Reflection:

1. Honesty as a Mirror: Speak and act with truth, for deception is a stain that weakens the spirit and erodes trust. Let your honesty be a mirror reflecting the world with clarity.
2. Discipline as a Chisel: Sharpen your will through discipline, for it is the chisel that carves chaos into the form of a righteous life. Do not succumb to the fleeting whispers of temptation.
3. Humility as a Shield: Remember that even the strongest are mere threads in the vast tapestry of law. Cultivate humility, for understanding your place in the grand order protects you from the pitfalls of arrogance.
4. Reflection as a Compass: Seek wisdom not only in action, but also in contemplation. Regularly take time to reflect on your deeds, learn from your mistakes, and adjust your course accordingl
