Majestas

From FeyworldWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

Majestas, as the Goddess of Law and consort to Zelos, God of the State, is highly respected in even the most liberal of nations. Though her priesthood tends to be politically strong, she has few actual lay worshippers. Those who do chose Majestas as a patron are typically those who make a profession of investigation, including the leadership of town guards, spies working for more Ordered nations, historians and even some adventurers.

There are relatively few temples dedicated to Majestas alone. More often her temples are also dedicated to the worship of Aridnus, Fides and Meliboea; in some regions, these temples also double as the local judicial houses.

Majestas has many foes among the Dagonian deities, but considers Pothos to be her most grievous enemy. Her alliance with her daughter, Veritas, is shaky at best because of the elder god’s often adulterous dalliances with various deities, including Veritas’ own father, Laestrygones.
