- | You intone, [- Enlist me in the Questors of Tyr -] in beautifully-accented Anglic. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | You wear your diminutive silver amulet of Tyr around your neck. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | You are now a first-degree specialist in discipline, law, order affinity and subordination. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Father Jonathon intones, =Welcome to the Order, Sanctify. May justice light your path.= | + | |
- | Father Jonathon gives you a diminutive silver amulet of Tyr. | + | |

- | "There is something noble in the spirit of a man who will fight for order." | + | |
- | Father Jonathan the Grand Justicar of Tyr | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The questors of Tyr are a militant sect of men and women who venerate | + | |
- | Tyr the Even-Handed, god of justice. They range across the realms of the | + | |
- | Prime Plane and beyond, fighting to bring order to mortal existence. They | + | |
- | do not stand alone. The Even-Handed, himself, aids his questors in battle | + | |
- | against the minions of chaos. The aid does not come without a price; a code | + | |
- | exists, of which questors are forbidden from violating. The balance of | + | |
- | power granted the questors of Tyr symbolizes the essence of the Even-Handed. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Aid | + | |
- | + | ||
- | "...And upon the gathered masses fell the light of order, and routed | + | |
- | were the enemies of the balance. Then, 'Behold!', spake a voice | + | |
- | from the heavans, 'Before you flee the beasts of chaos. Rejoice | + | |
- | in the word of your Lord.' And the voice was Tyr and the people | + | |
- | did rejoice..." | + | |
- | Excerpt from the 'Book of Light', | + | |
- | holy book of the order of Tyr | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The Even-Handed aids His questors in many ways. The first is through a | + | |
- | strengthening of the body, which lasts so long as the questor remains pious. | + | |
- | The god of justice also grants His faithful with increased knowledge of | + | |
- | sword play and literacy, believing that battles of sword and pen are equally as | + | |
- | important to the struggle of law. Tyr also provides protection to the questor | + | |
- | through His golden amulets. To help the questors coordinate their efforts, | + | |
- | the god of justice has gifted them with the power of communication over vast | + | |
- | distances. Finally, He grants the questors with two unique powers which are | + | |
- | invoked in His name. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Code | + | |
- | + | ||
- | "Faith in one's self and one's deity shall overcome all trials. Only | + | |
- | through discipline and self-sacrifice will you know peace." | + | |
- | Kerzog the Reformed, slain champion of Tyr the Even-Handed | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The life of a questor is very demanding and there are drawbacks to wielding | + | |
- | the powers of Tyr. Tyr demands your faith, as such, you cannot worship | + | |
- | any diety of chaos as a questor. Your nature must remain ordered or | + | |
- | you will find yourself at the hands of Tyr's justice. Calling upon the | + | |
- | wrath of Tyr is difficult, and impossible to do constantly. Tyr will not | + | |
- | give his aid against a proponent of honor or righteousness, and does not | + | |
- | condone attacks against such. For Tyr, the only way to lift the veil of | + | |
- | darkness from this world is to strive for justice. That is his way, that | + | |
- | is your way. For Tyr to grant any of his favors, you must display your faith | + | |
- | in him at all times by wearing his amulet. | + | |

- | "Garunoc got it once... once." | + | |
- | Anonymous orc scout | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The divine power of justice is seldom demonstrated more poignant then | + | |
- | through the questors' ability to mete Tyr's wrath upon His foes. The sheer | + | |
- | force of order which washes through one's enemy is enough to cause great. | + | |
- | Though intended to injure and teach, this gift from the Even-Handed has been | + | |
- | known to destroy those who are weak. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The god of justice is pleased when His gift is used in combat against | + | |
- | the forces of chaos, and will bestow upon the questor who shows the most | + | |
- | righteousness in dispensing this brand of justice. For the most pious of the | + | |
- | questors awaits the Lord Questor of Tyr. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Syntax: mete justice upon <whom> | + | |

- | "Communication is the key to any successful campaign; without it you might | + | |
- | as well leave the field." | + | |
- | Lord Marshal Strom Thromgald | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The role of communication in any large scale war is of undeniable | + | |
- | importance. The questors of Tyr are blessed with divine communion through the | + | |
- | golden amulets of Tyr. No matter where a questor is, he or she will always be | + | |
- | in contact with others of their order. Independant of plane of existance or | + | |
- | location within. | + | |

- | "Evil spreads through our land like a disease, consuming everything in | + | |
- | its path, leaving behind artifacts of decay." | + | |
- | Jyndex Shadowspite, ranger of the realms | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Though the Even-Handed's primary focus on the Prime Plane is the | + | |
- | proliferation of chaos, he knows that evil cannot be allowed to run without | + | |
- | bound. The questor of Tyr is therefore granted the ability to determine | + | |
- | the nature of items which he or she posesses. | + | |

- | With the responsibility of bringing justice to this chaotic existance | + | |
- | comes the reward of divine grace. Among the questors of Tyr, this grace is | + | |
- | honored through the Lord Questor of Tyr. To the questor who has gained the | + | |
- | most favor of the Even-Handed is granted with the Seal of Tyr. For some, | + | |
- | this is an honor they feel they do not deserve. Tyr recognizes this humility, | + | |
- | leaving the choice of accepting the title of Lord Questor to each individual. | + | |

- | Syntax: accept lord questor [ on / off ] | + | |
