Guthnoc
Guthnoc is the god of law, protection and wisdom. He represents a peaceful and orderly society.
Uphold the law of the land. There can be no society without law, no order without those who guard it.
Respect the crown. No king is without fault, but their right to rule should not be denied. When they err, it is your duty to correct their course.
Protect the weak. Fight for those who cannot fight to save themselves. When they have been mistreated, temper their anger and soothe their grieving hearts.
Suffer no pretenders. Lean, peaceful times are always better than prosperity promised by bloody revolt. Root out rebellions and bring them to justice.
Role
Guthnoc is the patron of law and order, and of civilized warfare. Soldiers pray to him for protection, and rulers often employ priests of The Hierarch as advisors. He frowns upon social upheaval and abuse of power alike.Guthnocite Tenets
Manifestations
Guthnoc is depicted as a great, broad-shouldered man with a stony, vigilant expression. He wears long robes, giving him a mountainous appearance, and he carries a book or a tablet of laws in his gauntleted hands.Worship
Guthnoc is pleased by a lawful and orderly society, and by strict adherence to traditional hierarchy. His followers uphold these values, and strive to punish criminals accordingly. The common people pray to him for protection, and make open vows at his temples to maintain orderly society. If not perfect to the book, rulers tend to at least show a basic level of respect and adherence to Steel-Heart's dogma, so that they do not draw the wrath of the god and his militant priesthood.Temples and Holy Places
