Ferrese (fur-eeze, fuh-REE-se)

the Lawbearer

The driving inspiration behind many great inventions, the creation of vast cities, and the bringer of law and order within: Ferrese claims dominion over civilization. Judges and rulers pay respect and muse at her temples, which stand as central structures to many cities across Ardyn. Peace and order through structure and law guides the will of her devout followers.
Realm: Ferrese resides within the glorious divine metropolis of Hestavar, the Bright City. This glowing oasis coasts through the Astral Plane, as the Law Bearer watches over the denizens bathed in the endless daytime that illuminates the busy streets.
Depiction: Shown in most texts and statues as a hooded, armored woman sitting atop a throne of pillars, her face is generally obscured or depicted without expression. The impartial but imposing nature of her stature and presence is nearly always paramount in any visual representation.
