Aurelion, the God of Justice

Information

Aurelion, the God of Justice, is the divine embodiment of fairness, law, and balance. He is both the architect of celestial law and the arbiter of mortal conflicts, ensuring that justice prevails in both divine and mortal realms. Aurelion is depicted as a stoic and imposing figure, often shown holding scales in one hand and a sword in the other, representing the balance between mercy and punishment.

History

Aurelion, emerged as a central figure in the divine pantheon following the chaos of the Great Betrayal. In the aftermath of the devastating conflict, Aurelion played a crucial role in reestablishing order among gods and mortals alike. He was the architect of the Divine Accord, a decree that prohibited gods from directly communing with mortals, enforcing the use of angelic intermediaries to maintain fairness and impartiality. Known as the Arbiter of Law, Aurelion’s influence shaped the moral and legal foundations of Gaiafel. Aurelion’s angels, Zariel and Amariel, exemplify the dual aspects of his justice: compassion and absolution versus unwavering enforcement of the law.

Angels of Justice:

Aurelion is unique among the gods, as he has two head angels who serve as the personifications of different aspects of justice.

Zariel, the Angel of Mercy:

Zariel represents compassion, redemption, and absolution. She believes in offering second chances and the potential for atonement, seeking to guide sinners back to righteousness. Her followers include The Knights of Evander, a paladin order dedicated to embodying Zariel's ideals of forgiveness and protecting the innocent.

Amariel, the Angel of Law:

Amariel is the unyielding enforcer of Aurelion's laws, embodying absolute order and impartiality. She serves as judge, jury, and executioner, upholding justice without bias or compromise. Her followers belong to the Order of the Iron Verdict, a militant group that adheres strictly to the rule of law and ensures that punishment is dealt swiftly and fairly.

Tenets of Worship:

Uphold the Law: Justice is the foundation of order; respect and enforce the laws of the land.
