Drako

God of Justice


Drako is concerned with justice, truth and the rule of law among the people.

Glory be to Drako

And in His Name
Shall we weight the Words of men
To find Truth
Shall we weigh the Deeds of men
And make Justice
With our Speech and in our Blood
Shall we Judge
And be Judged



Justice is concerned with the ordering of things within society.  It defines what is wrong and what is right.  Drako is concerned with how people seek these goals and make choices in their daily lives.  The law is there to guide people in life and to correct them when they make mistakes.


When someone has suffered an injustice it is to Drako that they pray for guidance.  They may visit a temple for advice or to ask for forgiveness when they have broken a law or failed in their morale duty.

Temples of Drako can be found across Albion and vary greatly in their size and function.  Some may serve as legal offices, record houses or even courts of law.  Priests may oversee tribunals and petty trials within them, while preachers deliver oratories to crowds outside.  It is also common for criminals to be educated on their misdeeds outside Churches of Drako, being taught how to avoid making the same mistakes and learning to understanding the effect their actions had on others.

Priests of Drako often serve as mediators and arbitrators, offering assistance to those wih disputes and helping them resolve the problem themselves.  They play an important role advising lords on matters of justice and how best to avoid creating laws that may be authoritarian and oppressive.  They will be the first to explain that the Laws of the Land are intended to protect people and to be a force for good, not a tool for tyranny.

The Scales of Justice are the primary symbol of Drako, reminding people of the balance between right and wrong, and how ones deeds must weight against their outcomes.  Quills, books and manacles are other symbols often associated with Drako and Justice.  Drako’s bird is a white owl, bringer of wisdom and counsel to wise men.


The Sceptre or Mace of Justice is the weapon most commonly depicted being wielded by Drako.  It is a symbol of authority, leadership and temporal power.  The Sceptre of Parliament was a potent artefact given to the Lions by Drako to aide in their quests.
