The Justicars are Alorn noblemen dedicated to upholding the double-edged justice of Sharheen. Their religious training and rites of worship emphasize knowledge of the law, passing of fair judgment, and supreme skill in swordsmanship. Justicars are respected for all of these skills, and often called upon to settle disputes between Alorneans of any rank, authorized to carry out arbitration, judgment, and sentencing. Justicars take none of these duties lightly, fully understanding the weight of their words and deeds, and rely heavily on their faith in Sharheen. As an example, Justicars are cautious of passing a death sentence, for those found guilty of death are not merely executed, but given a trial by sword so that Sharheen may pass final judgment herself.
Akin to the Paladins of Pyrose, the Justicars of Sharheen are pious knights who serve their deities with the same unwavering moral compass and zeal. Most Paladins and Justicars recognize that they have stronger similarities than differences, and frequently ally against the same foes. Many consider themselves to be part of a larger brotherhood of holy knights and set aside differences in doctrine to ally against the injustice.
