Astalon
“Law is the manifestation of divinity. Therefore, where-ever law exists, it must be upheld, purified and kept clean, to keep the people clean. Mortals, you see, are debased, separated from the divine, and in need of order to keep them from falling into depravity and madness. That order is provided by the framework of law ? those little fragments of god that we collect like jewels in the sand. Lose them, and we lose everything that lifts us above the beasts.”
Excerpt from the sermons of Aelfred the Magistrate
History
The church of Astalon has had a mixed history with many triumphs yet eternally dogged by problems with demon worship. However, these have been fully resolved and the church is becoming more popular once more.
Philosophy
Law is the binding force of society that provides security and stability for all. Without law chaos would reign and society would fall to the darkness. Therefore, for the good of all people, the law must be adhered to. The church is the very embodiment of law and its eternal guardian.
