Just-Ice
Titles: The Khold Judge. The fair and Frosted
Domains: Order, Knowledge, Grave
Symbol: A pair of frozen scales, perfectly balanced
Personality: Just-Ice is a god without warmth. He embodies the belief that the law must be absolute, impartial, and universal. That is unbent by mercy, wealth, or bloodline. He does not laugh, does not love, and does not rage. He simply judges.
He appears in scripture and legend as a tall, gaunt figure wrapped in a frozen cloak, voice like cracking glaciers, with eyes that reflect only the sins of those who meet them. He does not forgive. He does not forget. Even the gods, it is said, are not beyond his jurisdiction.
Clergy: His clerics are known as the Frosteare. They are dedicated to his cold and impartial justice, attempting to enforce the law equally on all. This does not mean that they are kind by any moral judgement as the enforce the laws on the Serf Travel Ban and The Laws on magic jsut as much as they do to hold Nobles accountable.
Most Oligarchic courts allow a Just-Ice cleric to speak only when no noble can be trusted to rule fairly, which is to say rarely, but always with fear. Once invoked, their judgments cannot be undone, even by other gods.
Cultural impact: Just-Ice is deeply unpopular among Noble Houses, who rely on flexible rulings, blood privileges, and judicial leniency. Yet he remains an official god of the Oligarchy, enshrined long ago during a now obscure noble pact to avoid chaos.
Among Serfs and Commoners, he is a paradox. Too cold to love, but perhaps the only noble god who sees them without bias. Some quietly pray to him before trials, hoping for truth over politics. Others fear his brand of justice just as much as the cruelty of the nobility.
