Idolax (/Id-ol-ax/)

"He Who Guards the Gate"

The Rat King

Idolax is the deity of power and authority. His followers are nobles and generals alike, for he enforces the hierarchies that permit them to serve in their duties, which in turn permit the existence of order and civilization. Idolax is often depicted as a sphinx, with a mane of snakes and the tail of a rat, though a more common symbolic representation of him is a grail.
Idolax's followers have no shared title, though his battle-clerics in particular are known as justicars. Justicars act as judge, jury, and executioner on behalf of nobles, serving a sort of mercenary lawman role in society. They are distinguished by the ebony crowns they don in place of helmets, and typically have an emblem of a grail somewhere upon their armor.
Idolax's holy text is The Principles. He is the son of Cinakath and Karnathra and the rival-brother of Zakrul. Merak is Idolax's archnemesis, and he views the All-Father's aversion to domination as a contradiction of his philosophy of self-confidence, though he is equally despised by Fae'len.
