Karna
Karna, the Justicemaker, is a Prime deity of the Creators' Pantheon. Before the War of the Burning Skies she was known as the god of justice Prove, but, as he died during the war, Lada's powers reincarnated him into the goddess of judgment and sorrow Karna.
In the Era of Searching she is known as a patron of order, judgment, sorrow and law, as well as a fierce enemy of all magic.
Her worshippers consist of judges, lawmakers, inquisitors, mourners, police forces and almost all air bogokovc. People pray to the Hand of Justice to protect them from evil, eradicate injustice and guide the dead into a better, more fair life.

Appearance
Karna, in her latest reincarnation, is often portrayed as a tall knight, adorned in white, silver and blue armour, with a helm that has three sides. All three sides of the helmet are the same emotionless face, somewhat resembling the barn owl in its features, and a top if the head rests a silver circlet, that frames each of the faces in the middle. A large, two sets of feathery wings are behind her. In one of her hands, she holds balanced silver scales, and in the other - a steel long mace, with a bluish fire shining from the top.

The Sacred animal of the Justicemaker is the owl.
Church of Karna is one of the banned religions in Rosidor Empire. In Sarmarian Republic Justicemaker's worship is quite scarce, having been almost eradicated during the War of Burning Skies and Magior rule, but it's accepted among Sarmarian society. In Dangean Kingdom church of the Justicemaker is the official one, having a main temple in the Marhaddag and city Platanam.
All clerics of Justicemaker are skilled fighters and possess abilities to negate magic. The most well-known of the clergy are Inquisitors - skilled fighters of the arcane in its every manifestation, as their main objective is to protect the world from chaotic forces of magic. They are trained to see magic traces around them, which makes them highly effective in hunting down renegade mages or in finding young mages among the population of Dangean Kingdom. Inquisitors operate only on territories of Dangean Kingdom, as other countries forbid their operations.
A very common practice among Justicemaker believers is self-flagellation - the disciplinary and devotional practice of flogging oneself with whips or other instruments that inflict pain, as a way of demonstrating devotion to the Order and the principles of the lawfulness.
Holidays
Day of White Law is a day dedicated to Karna, justice and law. Celebrated especially widely in Dangean Kingdom, with a parade in the capital, that consists of Karna's paladins, inquisitors and clerics.
Day of Winter Sun is a holiday more or less dedicated to remember the rulers of old, bad and good, reflect on everything that was lost and achieved. On this day, many cities hold a theatrical plays about the historical events - either in tragic or comedic tone. For the followers of the Justicemaker this is a significant day, as this believed to be the day, when Karna directs her gaze on the mortal realm, looking at everything her followers have done and achieved for the sake of justice, and she either punishes them for their faults or generously bestows gifts upon them for their merits.
Commandments of the Justicemaker
- Chaos is destruction, don't give into it. Instead, have a great respect for Law.
- Anyone can commit a sin, the reasoning for it doesn't matter. Ignoring the sins of others is almost as bad as committing them yourself.
- Do what you think is necessary, to maintain order. Even if others disagree with you.
