The Judiciary on Duria

From FeyworldWiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

The priesthoods of the Judiciary are pervasive throughout Duria, though they tend to be weaker in regions where the druids established themselves after the Recession of the Gods at the end of the Third Age of Man. Even when they were bereft of divine guidance, priests of Aridnus, the god of judgment, were valued as judges throughout western Duria and priests of Fides, the Oathmaker, continued to provide services in overseeing contracts and oaths in cities and towns. The clergy of Majestas, goddess of law, was small even before the Recession of the Gods and began to rebuild only after their return at the dawn of the Fourth Age of Man.

The largest and most significant temples to the Judiciary are located in the Freecity of Neptaris and most other temples across Duria, which are usually organized on national lines, tend to look to Neptaris for leadership when necessary. There are also significant temples to Meliboea in Koramia and a growing interest in the goddess of Justice among the rebels in Stenoa.
