Religions :: Algesa Algesa, the Goddess of Law, is most often seen in the form of a tall, strong warrior. The armor she wears is of exquisite quality, though the shining beauty of it in no way detracts from its functionality. The silvery metal gleams with a faint blue aura, a deep cerulean glow surrounding her like a halo. Her blade, Divine Justice, is always by her side, a hand-and-a-half sword with a golden hilt and razor-sharp blade. She is the soul and essence of law, strongly favoring neither good nor evil. Her affiliation is primarily with the gods of the Light, however, she is respected by some among the Dark gods, notably Temohpab himself. Her followers see her simply as absolute law -- swift, sure and unchallenged. She is, of course, sworn foe to Ulthi and all of his fanatics. Algesa opposes all illegal acts and will have no mercy on those among her devotees who would do otherwise. She has been known to stretch forth her hand to stop gross misuse of the law, for indeed, it is from her hands that law springs forth. Algesa has been known to ally with Kerog, as she believe firmly in the right of war and conquest to uphold and defend the law. She looks with disfavor, however, on rebellions. Her symbol is a set of scales perfectly balanced on the hilt of a sword, most often a depiction of the blade Divine Justice. Algesa is worshipped extensively in Medienne, where the refuge of law is sought in the aftermath of war. Surprisingly, Algesa also has a toehold in Voaleth, where the word of the Tyrant is breathed to be law itself, his dictatorship absolute. Algesa only accepts those followers with a firm commitment to law, and as such, does not approve of rogues attempting to infiltrate her faithful.
