"Behold! For among you lies the salvation of reality." Lord Knight Martrim Berault
Throughout the ages, the forces of chaos have run rampant across the planes, dominating all that they have encountered. For centuries, these armies of discord were left to sweep through existence like a great sea, and consume the natural order of the cosmos. From their beginnings, these chaotic forces were opposed, first by those seeking to keep a balance, to keep neutrality, but they were fighting a two front war, that against the chaos, and another to stem the battle of good and evil, from destroying all. It was not until three hundred years ago, by human reckoning, that the great lords of law, Tyr, Torm and Mithras, had decided to step in on behalf of reality. With the arrival of the lords of law, the forces of chaos prepared for the coming battle, quickly amassing more devotees to their cause, for the road of chaos is easy to travel. Yet those who did not eagerly seek the easiest path found themselves in the arms of Lord Tyr the Even-Handed. They were to be the first of the Justicar.
The Justicars of Tyr are the most militant of the factions venerating the gods of law. For them, the destruction of all chaos is the ultimate goal, one which can never be reached, but one they continue to strive for regardless. The Justicar are well trained in martial prowess, masters of the unarmed combat known simply as Tsar-Quen. No Justicar is ever without a weapon, as long as they remain faithful to their lord. Even without arms or armour, a Justicar can call upon Tyr for divine intervention, which forms the base reason for the pious devotion of the Justicar to the lord of justice.
The price of such power, such righteous might, is not cheap. Upon enlistment with the Justicar, one ceases to be an individual. All the Justicar are a lesser part of a whole, something which is much larger then themselves. Each Justicar is expected to follow the orders of those above them in the chain of command, lest the forces of chaos destroy the order of the Justicar because of unorganization. As a devotee of Tyr, the Justicar is expected to maintain impeccable morals, worthy of a pious follower of the god of justice. Failure to do so could result in dismissal of all granted powers or possibly execution for treason. For the Justicar, any sign of chaos must be destroyed. If their own members cannot be trusted to not stray upon the path of discord, how can they expect to ever win their eternal struggle, which will rage forevermore.

Ralnos explains: All powers in this guild require a smattering of skills, dependant on the skill in question. An example of this is that "meditating upon the glory of Tyr" requires a meditation of at least over 50, as well as other skills, I'm sure, alongside a level requirement. Also. It's far easier to forge weapons at first than craft armour, so keep that in mind. Crafting any form of armor requires more skills than forging basic weapons.
