Deity of justice and the law
"Let justice be without fear or favour"
Glory be to Draco
And in Their Name
Shall we weigh the Words of People
To find Truth
Shall we weigh the Deeds of People
And make Justice
With our Speech
And in our Blood
Shall we Judge
And be Judged

Justice is concerned with the ordering of things within society. It defines what is wrong and what is right. Draco is concerned with how people seek these goals and make choices in their daily lives. The law is there to guide people in life and to determine innocence or guilt where a crime is committed.
When someone has suffered an injustice it is to Draco that they pray for guidance. They may visit a temple for advice or to ask for forgiveness when they have broken a law or failed in their morale duty.
Temples of Draco can be found across Albion and vary greatly in their size and function. Some may serve as legal offices, record houses or even courts of law. Priests may oversee tribunals and petty trials within them, while preachers deliver oratories to crowds outside.
Priests of Draco often serve as mediators and arbitrators, offering assistance to those with disputes and helping them resolve the problem themselves. They play an important role advising lords on matters of justice and how best to avoid creating laws that may be authoritarian and oppressive. They will be the first to explain that the Laws of the Land are intended to protect people and to be a force for good, not a tool for tyranny.
Some knights devoted to the application of justice will seek to become appointed Justicars of Draco by the Church. These knights may travel villages acting as magistrates and advocates, or perhaps taking to the wilderness to chase an outlaw on the run. Not only do these knights have skill at arms, they are knowledgeable of the laws and customs of the lands through which they travel.
The Scales of Justice are the primary symbol of Draco, reminding people of the balance between right and wrong, and how ones deeds must weight against their outcomes.
Against Albion's enemies, Avatars of Draco are depicted as wielding the Mace of Justice. It is a symbol of authority, leadership and temporal power.
