The largest of Verena’s martial orders, members of the Order of the Sword and Scale see themselves as agents of justice. The order’s most common duty is to guard Verenan temples and dignitaries. Members are sometimes used to guard prisoners before a trial, or to provide additional security at a courthouse during particularly tense proceedings.[1a]
Members of the order are not merely guards, and can be called upon to actively wield the sword of justice. In this role they help enforce the judgments of Verenan priests, enacting justice at the end of a sword or battling against the agents of tyranny. In times of war or crusade they march along with the other knightly orders.[1a]
