Justicar

You are a Justicar in the Order of the Scales, an order of Paladins that serves to defend the innocent, punish the wicked, and redeem the lost. You were trained in the village of Tarodes, located in the hills Southwest of Longsaddle, and Northwest of Triboar, and may have even grown up there. As a Justicar it is your duty to patrol the lands outside of Tarodes, or to accept special missions issued to you by a commanding officer. In either case you will fight for what is right, and use your words before your sword.

Suggested Characteristics

The Order of the Scales is a group that accepts all kinds, regardless of their past or demographic. The only thing that is required for entry into their ranks is a desire to right the wrongs of the world, and uplift one's fellow mortal. Many come to them for a chance to chase their dreams of hero work, while others join in order to make up for the sins of their past.
