Justicar of Heirax

"A Justicar’s word is everything to them. I would know. My child was taken by bandits and a Justicar promised me that she would find him and return him to me. A day later, I heard a knocking at my door. There she stood, cradling my child in her remaining arm. She’d died standing on her feet.”

Choosing Rite

Justiciars are marked by the divine symbol of Heirax upon their shoulders. Parents who believe themselves ill-prepared to raise a child that will grow up with such conviction and strong-will are often given to temples dedicated to Heirax. These temples have likely raised many Justiciars within their walls.

Law and oaths motivate Justiciars to action. Marked at birth by the symbol of Heirax: a gauntlet-gripped sword that divides an open tome, Justiciars are heralds of balance in a world they believe is teeming with chaos and injustice. They are guided by their beliefs and often put themselves in positions that grant them the power of agency— whether that be the captain of a ship’s crew, the commander of an army, or the leader of an adventuring group.
