The Rightful Ruler, The Impartial judge, Destiney's Guide, The Unyielding.
She is the guardian of law and order, she seeks to bring peace and stability to the world, through her means; unquestioning obedience and strict adherence to the law. The world is chaotic and unlawful place, it is a place of great hardship, chaos and strife, only by uniting the world beneath the banner of order and law, can evil be rooted out, so goes her mantra.
She bestows her protection, and guidance to those who follow the law, to those who help their fellows, to those brave enough to bring law to the unlawful, to bring order to chaos, those she hold dear. Her worshippers are quite diverse as are their reasonings, peasents pray to her that the war does not shatter their lives, soldiers pray for their cause to be just, kings seek guidance that there rule may be true and just.
Aspects
The Rightful Ruler & The just Tyrant
The Rightful Ruler she called by some, she who rules her land in wisdom and benevolence to her people. She has earned her position of power by succession or vote and maintains the dignity of her position. Her will and law is made for the good of the those she rules to establish stability in the domain. Others may see in the Rightful ruler a Tyrant, someone who would limit them as individuals for the benefit of the state, they see themselves reduced to cogs in a machine, and the moment they deny the rightful ruler it strikes them down like a tyrant.The Impertial Judge & The Heartless
The impertial judge must pass the law as it written, she cannot allow her emotions to sway her, the law must be executed as it is written, lest the whole system fall apart, order is based on obedience on every level, and to maintain that level, one must distance themselves from the world and take on an objective view on the world. Others would call her heartless, what if the law is not just? What if extreme circumstances forced it? The Heartless, that is irrelevant.The Bringer of Order & Peace
The Bringer of Order, is her manfistation of force, it is a just force, one that brings Oder and stability to the world. At any price, by it by war or other means, all that matters the stability it will bring to the world and the eventual peace that may settle.Devil Breaker
