The Blade of Justice
Praxidike, God of justice and Tradition
"The harsh Judge and curator of action. As the forceful left hand, Praxidike must temper the dreams of existence with harsh protocol. Ever steadying the wings of migrant hearts to ensure the journey. -etched on the crypt of a local Constable"Single-minded, inflexible, cold and resolute; All words said to describe Praxidike, The Blade of Justice. The first creation of The Dreamer of Possibilities, Praxidike is the embodiment of the concept of "Justice" in it's rawest form. "Protect the realms from threats that would see it destroyed", such is his goal, his one and only directive. He tirelessly scours the Material and Astral planes of the veiled realms, seeking any and all who's goals go against his directive. He judges all beings who witness him, from the lowest servants to the highest of kings, none can avoid his cold judgement once he sets his eyes on them. To be judged by praxidike means for him to weigh wether your actions have had a positive or negative effect on the safety of the realms, no matter how rightful or unimpactful one believes themselves to be, the consequences of their actions are the only thing that matters to the Curator of actions. His actions are driven by an inability to change, both his goal and existence stagnant within an everchanging world. This has also made some associate him with traditions, as such, those who refuse change often seek Praxidike's favor. The only contradiction to his unchanging existence is his strange obsession with the concept of honor. Ever trying to quantify all things and wether or not they threaten the realms, he simply cannot comprehend those who would prioritize honor or morals over logic. This has led him to further obsess with these concepts to the point of questionning mortals on their beliefs in ways one could only see as extremely invasive. Those who would follow his tenets of judgement often attain positions that would see them enact justice and judgement, such as justicars or ministers. Some would seek to follow in his example and scour Aurora to right the wrongs of those who would hide from justice, they have become known as the Custodians of Oaths. Praxidike offers his blessing to all those who show true dedication to protecting the realms, though he is quick to rescind his blessing should one's actions suddenly contradict even a single of his tenets.
