Justicars are the Holy Warriors of Toran, founded to enforce law & order.

Description

Justicars originated in the lands of Toran Shaarda, where the centauroid race of dracon is dominant. The dracon live in a very hive-minded society, where all is done for the greater order of things. Non-conformity is a sin in Toran's eyes. Law and order rules above all, and to disobey that order is to become chaotic in their eyes.

The chaos of The Fairy War sparked the creation of the Justicars. The war began in T'Nanshi and quickly became in danger of spreading everywhere. In order to keep the fairies within their own country from fighting, the Dracon clerics of Toran decided it was time to employ some muscle. First, they made laws against participating in the fairy struggle within their borders. Next, they created the Justicars to enforce those laws... heavily.

The first Justices were Dracon warriors loyal to Toran who were charged with the task of quelling any struggle between the fairies in their nation. Once the war was finished, and the Great War started, their task expanded. They were told to keep the entire war away. Securing their lands against an onrush of Orc refugees was tough, and they almost did not manage. Many lives were lost on both sides, but in the end, the justicars prevailed and Toran Shaarda was saved.

After the war, the Justicars were employed as a regular police force, at which point they began to expand. The first outside nation to realize their use was The Kurathene Empire. The Emperor, Kuras, took them in and allowed them to set up many churches to Toran on his lands. He knew that they would be excellent tools at enforcing whatever laws he made in his dominion, and he was correct. Until the end, Imperial law was enforced by the justicars, without question. Since then, many of them have taken up to serving the local lords, and the rest have started to spread to other nations. In this time period, non-dracon races have joined the organization. In Mikona, the Church of Toran is one of the largest in the city, and the justicars are welcome there.

Justicars like heavy armor, the heavier the better. Dracon are very strong creatures, and more than able to bear the weight, and this has carried over to the other races. The main weapon of the order is considered to be the longsword, though dracon have often employed greatswords as well.

The justicars have a definite hierarchy, which is the same as the hierarchy for the clerical church, though separate.

+==Description==
+Justicars originated in the lands of [[Toran Shaarda]], where the centauroid race of [[Dracon|dracon]] is dominant. The dracon live in a very hive-minded society, where all is done for the greater order of things. Non-conformity is a sin in [[Toran|Toran's]] eyes. Law and order rules above all, and to disobey that order is to become chaotic in their eyes.

First, they made laws against participating in the fairy struggle within their borders. Next, they created the Justicars to enforce those laws... heavily.
-To qualify as a Blackguard, a character must fulfil all of the following criteria:
-* '''Deity:''' Maleki
+The first Justices were Dracon warriors loyal to Toran who were charged with the task of quelling any struggle between the fairies in their nation. Once the war was finished, and the Great War started, their task expanded. They were told to keep the entire war away. Securing their lands against an onrush of Orc refugees was tough, and they almost did not manage. Many lives were lost on both sides, but in the end, the justicars prevailed and Toran Shaarda was saved.
-* '''Alignment:''' Chaotic Evil
-* '''Base attack bonus (BAB):''' +6
-* '''Feats:''' [[NWN:cleave|Cleave]]
-* '''[[NWN:Rank|Skill Ranks]]:''' 5 [[NWN:hide|Hide]]
+After the war, the Justicars were employed as a regular police force, at which point they began to expand. The first outside nation to realize their use was [[The Kurathene Empire]].

-==Description==
+Justicars like heavy armor, the heavier the better. Dracon are very strong creatures, and more than able to bear the weight, and this has carried over to the other races. The main weapon of the order is considered to be the longsword, though dracon have often employed greatswords as well.
-Blackguards are the epitome of evil and slaughter. They often have no real reason for what they do, except that it is their own will or the will of the person subjugating them. Their existence is almost as ancient as that of the Paladins and often they are referred to as "anti-Paladins", as Maleki created these fighters as an answer to Gorethar's fighting force of holy warriors. Many of his creatures were being slaughtered by the newly empowered dwarves. Maleki found this displeasing and so empowered some of his own minions to fight back. The struggle continues to this day.
-Blackguards see the world in terms of will. Either they are following their own will and thus serving Maleki, or they are following the will of someone who has power over them, who may or may not be serving the will of Maleki. In either case, Blackguards believe that it is ultimately up to them to be able to enforce their own will. The exact nature of their will can vary: some want power beyond all dreams, while some just want destruction.
+The justicars have a definite hierarchy, which is the same as the hierarchy for the clerical church, though separate.
-Blackguards pattern themselves after their good counterparts when it comes to weapons and armor, though in the same way, their exact ''traditional'' preferences have been lost. Organizationally, they answer only to Maleki unless they are roughed up by someone greater than themselves. In many cases they gain insights into their god's will through clerical intervention and thus have often found themselves used as pawns of Maleki's church.
