Akavir

**Akavir**, known as the **The Jailor**, or **The** **Judge**, was the Overgod of the Order, Law and Justice. As an Overgod, Akavir rules with power rivalled only by Ideolor as his Area of Accountability is one of great import.

Akavir watched over Karai during his imprisonment in the Ether, though he was trcked by the cunning Demon Lord Talvashek, the Master Mirror who posed as Ideolor. Akavir swiftly brought the wrath of justice upon the Demon Lord. He is shrewd but fair in his dealings with mortals, but most caring and protctive over his worshippers and followers, taking great lengths to aid them and protect them indirectly. His followers will find a strong sense of peace through order, law and justice. While his followers have been criticised for the zealous attitude to law and order, they are a mighty peacekeeping force throughout Estivir, each major city has a bureau for his "Lawbringers" as well as any courts iwthin Estivir, which are presided over by a Cleric of his following.

## Description

Akavir's divine form is that of a tall male with long judge-esque robing and cloak, with armoured shoulder plates and an Aesiri-styled mask with cracks of flame and sometimes billowing smoke when his wrath requires it. He often carries a scroll, though no living being knows what this scroll bears. he was forced into his mortal form during the Avatar Crisis, though his form was undocumented.

## Personality

As described by the Cleric Baylor, Akavir is shrewd, but fair, zealous but impersonal. He seeks to bring law and order to the realm of mortals, but struggles to keep his hand out of their affairs, and only to guide them as others do, He takes tutelage and counsel from his Exarchs; Severus and Heren as well as Ebere, the Goddess of Mercy and Peace, in that bond their religions often mix, with Ebere's followers tempering the attitude of Akavir's.

## Worshipers

The Court of Akavir is led by Clerics and Paladins who have taken training and tutelage in the systems of law and order. The Court is an umbrella for all law-systems in Estivir and often in Veles, many factions and Order undertake their own systems of laws from the Court and have them written up during an appeal. While the Court is a religious sect by definition they do not have particularly religious sermons or holidays. This is more reserved for the three Orders that represent Akavir and his Exarchs. The Order of Lawbringers, the Order of Wardens and the Order of Peacekeepers.

THE ORDER OF LAWBRINGERS - "*Where order has broken down, where cruelty and lawlessness rule, Lawbringers are justice. They go wherever they are needed, and they come prepared. Their armor has no equal, its construction a secret of their order. Pray that you do not need them. And when they arrive, pray that you have done no wrong."*

THE ORDER OF WARDENS - *"Members of an ancient order, sworn to defend the weak, masters of the longsword. Their origins lost to history; still they fight for what is right. Driven by duty, devoted to their people... but only a few may join their order."*

THE ORDER OF PEACEKEEPERS - *"When wars end, it is the "silent" blade that keeps the peace. But when wars rage, a peacekeeper's work is never done. Fast, lethal, they can win a fight before the enemy even knows they're there. Selected from the desperate, the humble, or the devoted. Sworn to secrecy by unbreakable oaths; what they know could destroy legends... or create them."*
