Heironeous (hi-ROE-nee-us) is the champion of rightful combat and chivalrous deeds. He is the patron Power of those who fight for honor, justice, and the fair, good order of things. Clad in chain mail and hefting a great magical battle axe, Heironeous is portrayed as a youthful, tall man with coppery skin, auburn hair, and amber eyes, and is unsurpassingly handsome. He is a "beloved of the Gods"; his skin is said to be magically enchanted to break most weapons striking him, and he has many natural gifts given him by the Powers of lawful good.

Heironeous is typically a Power revered by officers, leaders, and paladins rather than the common warrior. Heironeous is strong as a fighter and as a protector, and this duality attracts many worshippers. He is widely revered throughout the non evil lands of Wearth.

The world is a dangerous place that poses a never-ending series of challenges to those that fight for justice and protection of the weak and innocent. One must act honorably at all times, and uphold the virtues of justice and chivalry in word and deed. Danger must be faced with certainty and calm, and glory is the reward for defeating evil, while virtue is the reward for upholding the tenants of Heironeous.

Services to Heironeous include triumphal singing of battle hymns, offerings made to a copper statue of the Power, (such statues adorn most of his finely decorated temples), and the sharing of strengthening foods – meat, full-bodied red wine (in moderation) and spiced, stewed kara-fruit.

This is a warlike clergy that counts many elven and half-elven fighter/clerics and many human clerics who have attained levels of experience as fighters before becoming clerics. The clergy has a military organization and maintains excellent armories and systems of communications. Older clerics are revered for their strategic skills and as teachers. Opposition of clerics of the hated Hextor is mandatory. Possession of magical chain mail and/or a battle axe brings much kudos within the church.
