Justice and Revenge

Ajiit brings revenge on those who deserve it, rights wrongs, punishes the wicked, and avenges those who cannot avenge themselves. Gnök was the ancient Dwarfish name, still used by the Minotaur, and the Elves know her as Pararae. The Orcs embrace Ajah as the great arbiter. Halfings know Ajiit but do not often follow Them, as escape the bounds of law is hurtful to a healthy hearth.

Normally, Ajiit acts through their priests. Priests of Ajiit are approached by those who have been wronged, and must learn what they can of the situation, decide who’s right and who’s wrong, and take steps to punish the guilty party. They must make the punishment fit the crime (a theft does not warrant the killing of the thief in most cases, for instance).

Since these priests are often approached to punish those whom ordinary laws can’t touch (for instance, to punish a rich man who can bribe his way out of any charge or punishment), they frequently have to perform their missions secretly, so that the local authorities cannot learn of them. These vigilante priests are not appreciated by local governments.

Alignment: The deity is lawful neutral. His priests may be of any alignment but lawful good. The flock may be of any alignment.

Races Allowed: All.

Duties of the Priest: Guidance, Marriage. Missions to achieve justice when justice has been thwarted. Vigilance: The priests must keep their ears open and keep track of those who try to avoid the consequences of their actions.

Other Limitations: Priests of this god may not refuse to investigate when the story of an injustice is brought to them (unless they’ve already investigated this same complaint). To do so is to constitute a “betrayal of goals”. To investigate, find that there has been an injustice, and then to refuse to act on it is a similar betrayal. However, it is not a betrayal to discover an injustice and then take the time to make sure the priest has enough influence and force to effect revenge; he does not have to effect revenge immediately.
