Order of the Balanced Scale

In 783, the Canon Chancellor of Vorchester established the Order of the Balanced Scale, a religious order devoted to the spiritual pursuits of law and justice. The Order admitted both lay and ordained individuals, and gradually expanded to commission clerics and paladins of Raugiel. The order is presided over by the Canon Chancellor, and directed by senior ordained clergy, clerics, and paladins.

The tenants of the Order promoted honest and faithful living in accordance with the laws of mortals and gods, and where injustice exists, challenge it, and search for ways to alleviate it. Whilst the order advocates the rule of law, it permits its devotees to break laws which are unjust in themselves.
