St. Daris
From Praemal
The saint of justice and just retribution, St. Daris is also known as the Swift Avenger. In life, the priest of Lothian would subdue lawbreakers by beating them with a hammer.
Now, he is the patron saint of those who would punish those who violate the law and want justified revenge. He is also popular with those who enforce the law and those who feel the world is slipping into chaos. Even his most devout worshippers also pay homage to Lothian.
Like Lothian, St. Daris observes Theoday as a day of rest. Clerical magic other than healing and curing spells will not function from sunrise to Sunset on Theoday.
Hammer of Daris
This weapon is said to be that actually used by the Venerable Saint, Daris the Swift Avenger when he demonstrated the folly of error to the unbeliever. Over the decades since then, relics of the saint himself have been encased within the hammer.
Hammer of St. Daris is kept in the Holy Palace in Ptolus.
One of the gods of Praemal.
St. Daris is Lawful Neutral, but his clerics cannot be Lawful Evil. His symbol is a tin or iron ankh crucifix of Lothian, plain and unadorned. His domains are Destruction, Law, Protection and Strength. His favored weapon is the mace.
His clerics are part of the hierarchy of the Church of Lothian.
