Drasura, The Blind Judge
Drasaura is the goddess of justice, leadership, and honor. She is the hand that guides just leaders and teaches them to work for the of the people they serve. She is patron to nobles, government officials, officers of the law, and who wish to see that evil is punished and good is rewarded. She takes the form of an angelic being with a blindfold covering her eyes, and carries a silver scale with her.
Drasaura teaches the importance of honor and justice to her followers. She teaches that without these things there can be no trust between people, and thus society would struggle to even exist. Drasaura stresses the importance of both having a code of laws, and ensuring that the code of laws is fair. To her, a corrupt code of laws simply sows distrust in the law itself and thus sows even more chaos and crime than not having any laws at all. On an individual level people should be honorable enough to fulfill their promises and hold to their oaths, and on a societal scale the laws should be written to ensure that justice is achieved. If both parts of this are fulfilled, then society will prosper and the cause of good will be advanced. Proper punishment for crime is important to Drasaura and both the reasoning behind and the crime itself are important to figuring out what is proper. A poor farmer who turns to theft to feed his starving should still be punished for his crime, but it should be understood that some of the blame goes to his circumstances, rather than his morals. The reason behind his poverty would be investigated and the farmer's punishment would be focused on teaching and making it so he would not steal again, rather than simple imprisonment.
Drasaura is commonly worshiped by law enforcement and people in leadership positions. Other's may offer a prayer that their rules or boss will receive guidance from her, but her most dedicated following is generally found among those who interact with the law regularly. The church of Drasaura also stays involved with overseeing justice as oftentimes her priests are brought in as advisors to rulers, or to serve as lawyers. He church also has a sizable portion dedicated to pursuing criminals, particularly ones guilty of particularly heinous crimes.

Holy Books & Codes
Drasaura generally rates laws into four different categories of severity. Each crime has a default level of severity, but in courts that follow Drasaura, the defendant can argue for why they crime should be judged as a lower category.
The first category is Minor Crimes, which are the most basic level of simple crime. These are mostly things that do not really hurt other people, but still are inappropriate or generally disruptive to the public. This category includes crimes such as public indecency, being excessively drunk, and other things that are usually only punished with a small fine to cover any damages or a night in jail to sleep off the alcohol.
The second category is Standard Crimes. These crimes include theft, assault, destruction of property, and other crimes that are more serious than Minor Crimes, but that usually don't do any permanent damage. The punishment for these crimes usually involve repaying any damages to the affected with a bit extra for the time and trouble caused, as well as some amount of time in prison between a few weeks up to about a year.
The third category is Major Crimes. These are more severe versions of Standard Crimes, such as stealing particularly valuable objects, repeated crimes, and crimes with more permanent results such as causing permanent damage to someone or even killing them. These crimes go beyond what a simple exchange of money and fix, and generally are punished with an extended prison sentence of at least several years.
The final category is very rare, but they are known as Unforgivable Crimes. These crimes are generally seen as going against the very core of society itself. They include creating True Undead, serial murder, the corrupting of a temple of good, cavorting with demons or devils, and other sins of the highest magnitudes. These crimes are often punished with death, or life in prison.
