"The
Builder"
God of Law, Order,
and Cities
"The clearest way to show the truth and necessity of the rule of
law is to study what those societies in which there is no rule
of law.
-- Caminius Placus Decio,
Seventeenth Lord of Law and Judgement,
As quoted in Volume 620 of the Holy Record
 
The Lawgivers (as
the priests of Ausonius are known) teach that in ancient times
the Builder walked Taranche and assisted those races in which he
saw the potential for greatness. He taught the art of
cooperation and teamwork to all intelligent creatures. He
gave them the ability to live together in an orderly way by
providing the first code of law. Thus the first cities
were built.
Priests of the Builder are
architects and engineers of great skill and craftsmanship. When
they can they take part in the planning and building of cities, roads,
and irrigation systems. They offer prayers that Ausonius will
bless the new construction that it will stand for centuries.
Along with being builders
and architects, the priests of Ausonius are also judges, lawyers, and
policemen. They work formally with local governments to uphold the
law. The have built a reputation for firmly following the letter
of the law, even when the intent or spirit of the law is different from
the letter. Ausonius teaches that in such cases it is up to those
who make the law to rewrite it more precisely rather than a judge to
second-guess the wording.
Also Known As: Kogerd (Chayk),
Barruk (Khazak)
