The Justiciar is the name given to the god of law and justice, this god promotes the rule of law to all beings of the world, even those who use the laws for Tyranny owe the Justiciar at least some thanks even if they pervert his intention. His intent is that law applies to everyone and should be upheld, it varies on interpretation if he is a letter or spirit of the law being. The humans have another name for him, Libradaur, he is Lawful Good and seeks to bring law to everyone regardless of station. Many believe that he prefers the spirit of the law rather than technicalities that could shield an otherwise guilty being and his human followers strive to do just that.
The Justiciar is often depicted as a humanoid figure in black robes with a hidden face, the hood of the robes is white. He often is shown wielding a hammer and shield designed to show the protection the law can bring, as well as the ability to enforce the law.

Holy Books & Codes
The Writ of Law
The holy book of the Justiciar is usually done in the form of large scrolls, these scrolls contain sermons about how the rule of law, fair trials, and order are important to the betterment of all. That it is not vengeance or malice that should punish a criminal but the even hand of a judge. It also contains information on how one could strive to become a judge, a scroll called 'The Trials' contains numerous examples of hard choices to make as a judge, then you must meet with an ordained judge and present your findings, in most cases the person did not think about a consequence of their decision and are sent away to try again with a new problem. Those that continue to try and show a consistently fair ruling are taken on as clerks to the judge, to sit in on trials and observe while also taking record of the trial.
