Law
The Lords of Law stand in opposition to Chaos. They're sometimes known as the White Lords and associated with goodliness and stability, but they're every bit as uncaring and beyond good and evil as their Chaos counterparts. Where Chaos is constant and meaningless change, Law is perfect stagnation. Its symbol is a single arrow pointing upwards. Law has many sacred numbers: 1, because it's the first one and it's single; 3, because it's one of the first prime numbers and represents the triangle, the strongest structure; and 9, which is three times three and thus three times as holy, and conveniently enough the number of deities in the Lawful pantheon. Some Lawful cults to demigods and heroes exist.

Arkyn the Lord of Order, the Thorough
He's a god of philosophers, alchemists, mathematicians and inventors. He controls the tides, planetary orbits and seasons.

Donblas the Justice Bringer
He gives victory to those who deserve it by challenge. He represents the relentless machinery of justice. His priests are often lawmakers and judges, and his clerics are paladins, crusaders and zealots

Elgis the Gentle
Lord of peace and civilization, his worshipers bring peace and harmony to the world and drive back the disorder of Chaos by extending civilization among the barbarians.

Goldar the Prosperous
A god of commerce. By accumulating wealth, their followers become more perfect and virtuous.

Mirath of the White Hands
The Lawful Lord of death and time, Mirath determines how long each creature must live. She can be both cruel and compassionate. Her followers are present in weddings, births and funerals, and also practice the arts of healing since in the end if Mirath wants a life cut short she will not be denied.

Salik the Potent
Lord of agriculture and breeding, prayed to by males to sire children and make their fields and animals fertile. He taught humanity how to brew beer and harvest grapes, and has few female worshipers.

Theril the Guide, the Muse

Tovik the Relentless, the Merciless
He represents the savage laws of nature, and is worshiped by warriors and warlords. His wild, stern-gazed priests drive armies to Mirath's belly.

Vallyn the Wise
She's the Lord of knowledge and learning. She demands loyalty and discipline from her followers, and those especially loved by her may receive answers in the form of dreams.

Xiombarg, Queen of Swords
