The Virtuous Maiden
Honour is My Shield, Justice my Sword
The Virtuous Maiden is the god of Honour, Valour, Justice and Combat.
She was once a mortal and her ascension came when the god of humanity became corrupted and descended into madness.
She is seen as a female knight in full plate armour with feathered wings holding a sword and shield before her. Her symbol is that of a sword with wing extending from its guard on a golden shield background.
Many paladins and knights follow her faith, as do many Orcs and half breeds of the north due to her Saint Booma Ka who united the Orcs of Url'Dolmax in her worship.
Tenets of Faith
Edicts: Be Temperate, Chivalry is not a choice, hold valour above all, fight for justice and protect those in need.
Anathema: Abandon an ally in need, dishonour yourself, refuse a challenge from an equal.
Priesthood
A large proportion of the priesthood are made up of paladins and war priests, They are one of the least political clergy of all the prime gods, with the most devoted most often filling positions of power.
The faith is broken up into orders, each with its own role and goals within the hierarchy. The order of the Shield is primarily concerned with the protection of the common folk and their worshippers, the order of the Hammer's focus is of fighting enemies of the faith and abominations in the world, does have a militant arm but it is broken up into orders, the order of the Sword form the backbone of the religion, they are often seen as inquisitors or judges and help the common folk lead lives of worth. The faith has other minor orders such as the order of the hearth, order of the saddle, order of the spear and the order of the heart, each order has its own responsibilities within the hierarchy and is not considered lesser in the eyes of the faith for being in a lesser order.
