HEIRAX

Titles: The Oathkeeper, the Justicar

Promise given form. Heirax presides over every oath sworn, promise made, vow taken and shared, and every contract signed. He is the weight behind one’s words, the sword in a traitor’s back, and the scales upon which all life is judged. To make a promise is to confide in Heirax. He is justice itself, as adhering to a law is nothing more than signing a contract. While many may forget about their promises and oaths, Heirax does not— cannot— ever forget, for every one of these is scored into his very being, and seared into his eternal memory.

Heirax's domain is known as the Halls of Justice. His alignment is True Lawful.

Domains of Heirax

Those who wish to become a cleric of Heirax may use the following domains: Order, War, Forge

Justice. The very idea of justice stems from Heirax. Justice is dealt as a result of the invisible agreement between individuals within a society. They live together in peace, until someone breaks a law. And it is then that Heirax intervenes. 

Guilt. Heirax's domain extends to the type of guilt that results from a breach of a promise, not the type associated with the loss of a loved one. By breaking a promise, Heirax deems you guilty, and marks your soul as such. Depending on the gravity of your guilt, it may or may not influence your fate as decided by Corva. 

Oaths. A man is only as good as his word, and when a promise is made, Heirax binds that promise to his name and ensures that it is fulfilled. 

Worshipping Heirax

Those who worship Heirax place moral duty on an incredibly high pedestal. He is often prayed to before court hearings or trials, so that justice may be properly provided in court, heedless of laws created by flawed mortal minds. 

To worship Heirax is to accept the burden of justice, to understand the consequences of guilt, and the weight of oaths. You must be just. You must understand the importance of your word. By performing such acts or behaving in such manners, you further the influence of Heirax and deepen your connection to him.

To go against this philosophy, to reject justice, to ignore guilt, and to baselessly give your word to those around you goes against all that Heirax represents. By performing such acts or behaving in such a manner, you lessen the influence of Heirax and weaken your connection to him.
