Erathis, the Lawbearer
The driving inspiration behind many great inventions, the creation of vast cities, and law and order
within society, the Lawbearer claims dominion over
civilization. Judges and lawful rulers pay respect at
her temples, which are central structures in major
cities around the world. Peace and order—through
structure and law—guide the will of her devout followers. The Lawbearer has a tempestuous romance
with the Wildmother, a furious love that is only tempered when civilization and nature are in balance.
Civil unrest and riots blossom within her beloved
cities in these times of imbalance.
