The Church of Scales
"I saw disorder,
I saw anarchy,
I saw abuse.
I came,
We fight disorder,
We fight anarchy,
We fight abuse.
The Law is absolute.
I am absolute.
No matter any else I represent the final progression of the world.
Spread the word.
In the end I will cast judgement on all."
The Adjudicator.
Structure
A strict hierarchy from top to bottom. The Destriant stands on high. Then the Champion and Mortal sword. Then follows the judges, the prosecutors, the judicators and the prelates.
Culture
Bound by the simple laws they greatly despises chaotic lives preferring to tie themselves to an orderly productive life.
Public Agenda
To spread order, enforce the law and punish the guilty.
Assets
The Church is backed by the majority of the Governments especially The Empire. This gives them consistent wealth, manpower and access in the quest to bring order to the chaos.
History
History speaks of the laws of the country. Which you ask? All of them. Every piece of civilisation carved from the nightmares of the wild to bring the blessings of civilisation.
Divine Origins
They rose out of the crucible of the first settlements. The idea of farmed lands, governed taxes and a prison to punish the criminal.

8. Harshness is not Tyranny.

10. Laws are not made to be broken.
Priesthood
The priests are judge, the courtroom the temple, the laws are their holy books and trials their sermons.
Granted Divine Powers
The imposition of Law over Chaos.
The imposition of civilisation over the wild.
The implementation of Truth over Lies.
Political Influence & Intrigue
A state is just and their laws must be followed. This then promotes good working relationships with the more civilised states.
