The Holy Church of the Just Scales

The Church of the Just Scales

In the verdant lands of our realm, where honour, courage, and justice are the threads that weave the tapestry of our society, stands the sanctified edifice of the Church of the Just Scales. This divine institution, named in reverence to the symbol of our deity, Tyr, is an embodiment of fairness, equality, and the righteous judgement meted out by the divine scales.

In this sacred temple, every soul finds solace, every voice is heard, and every heart meets the truth. The truth as revealed by the Scales of Tyr, the impartial judge who never errs.

Blessed by the divine and touched by His hand, the structure of our church is a harmonious blend of faith, duty, and leadership. Each order in the church serves Tyr and his people, working tirelessly to uphold justice in all its forms.

High Justiciar - Ascended to the zenith of our holy order, the High Justiciar bears the weight of Tyr's divine scales upon their shoulders. As the terrestrial envoy of our unerring deity, this dignitary guides us with spiritual enlightenment and the wisdom of fair judgement, directing all in the pursuit of justice.

Justiciar Major - Nigh unto the exalted status of the High Justiciar, the Justiciar Majors form the backbone of our church's influence. Endowed with the divine right to participate in the hallowed selection of a new High Justiciar, these esteemed stewards preside over our most prominent temples, their presence an emblem of unwavering faith and duty.

Canon of Tyr - The Canons of Tyr, guardians of our divine law, oversee vast territories of temples and shrines within their entrusted regions. Their calling is to guide their flock along the path of justice, their words echoing the divine tenets of our deity.

High Priest/Priestess - The High Priests and Priestesses, chosen for their profound devotion and spiritual achievements, uphold the sanctity of our individual temples and grand shrines. With the balance of Tyr as their guide, they tend to the spiritual nourishment of their congregations and the meticulous stewardship of their temples.

Priest/Priestess - The Priests and Priestesses are the humble shepherds of our faith. They invoke the divine teachings of Tyr through sermons, enact His will through holy rituals, and provide compassionate care to the souls under their guardianship, their daily deeds an embodiment of their sacred duty.

Novitiate - The Novitiates, fresh souls stepping onto the path of divine service, immerse themselves in the tenets, rites, and rituals of our faith. Under the watchful guidance of their seasoned superiors, they perform the sundry tasks of the Church, their hearts filled with budding devotion, as they embark on their sacred journey towards serving Tyr.

The Church of the Just Scales and the Knights of Dane maintain a symbiotic relationship. The Church provides the Knights with spiritual guidance, healing, and divine blessings, while the Knights serve as the martial arm of the Church, ensuring that the principles of justice and law are upheld. They stand as a bulwark against chaos and evil, fighting on both the physical and spiritual planes in the name of Tyr.
