The Prince
Name: Lord Evarast, The Radiant Arbiter, The Scourge of Light, He Who Judges,
Domain: Peace, Law, Justice, Light, Dominion
Description: Tell us about the Prince of Ruin. What do they look like? How do they act? What cosmic powers do they have? How scary are they? Tell us everything!
The Lord Evarast takes for his own form one that resembles that of humanity but that is far more impressive. His body appears to be human in many respects, he has the two arms, two legs, one head scheme of humanity. Further his body is similarly proportioned to humans though in an idealized sense. His skin is the palest white in color and from his body a brilliant light shines with an intensity that varies from gentle to blinding depending on his own whims. Golden hair adorns his head and a crown of tall white crystal spines is wrapped around that. Typically he appears to be clad in garb that fits his almost angelic appearance, robes of the purest gold and silver are wrapped around his form. Also is a cape of the purest white that appears to be made of the same crystal as his crown but magically functioning as clothing. But many have claimed that this cape of his is truly a pair of great crystal wings that extend from his back furled up. The truth is unknown though it is true that many of his servants bear similar items of uncertain true nature.He is frequently depicted with a great spear held in his right hand and a set of scales held in his left. The spear is said to be made from crystallized light itself and to be able to pierce anything. But such is the stuff of myths for none can truly say to have seen him upon the world itself to know if the myths are true.
Unlike many of his fellows Evarast is actually the subject of a great deal of worship from those humans who dwell upon Anadara. He has been known there by many names and many cultures have worshiped him as their god of law and light. It is said that he gave men the codes by which they were to live and that those who followed his rules would be rewarded with a heaven after they died. It is true that a heaven waits for those who uphold the laws that he has created, it is true that if you live a perfect life, a life without any violations of his codes or a life in which you serve faithfully enough it is true that you will reach a heaven after death. But Evarast is not kind, nor is he merciful, those who have crossed the threshold and strayed from his laws and have not served him faithfully to earn a just reprieve are damned and their souls are forfeit. What fate awaits those who he judges unfit shall be discussed further in realm information.It is said that he protects those who cannot protect themselves, that his servants fight against the darkness for the good of the world. And this is an image that he has never shattered, though in truth he does not protect those who cannot protect themselves, he merely obeys the codes that he has set down for himself and hates the fellow princes of ruin far more than almost anyone could imagine. Evarast does not lie and none of his servants are capable of telling falsehoods a fact that has been frequently cited as evidence that he and his are in fact divine and on the side of the world.In truth this only means that he will never directly tell a lie, it does not mean he is not capable of deception.
The Realm
Name: The Evarraelm (Also known as Heaven to many)
Description: The Evarraelm is a place that truly could be described as a vision of heaven. Shining white cities stretch across the lands and hanging suspended above fertile and pure land are the floating residences of those who serve Evarast. The world appears idyllic, it is said that nowhere is life so pure and untarnished as upon the plains and within the great shining cities of the Evarraelm. But there is a darker nature to this idyllic land, in truth Evarast's punishment for the souls of those who are judged unfit is that they are altered and then used to build the structure of the realm itself. The very ground is made up of the tortured souls of those who have not upheld his laws, every stone, every fiber of the realm that is not a being itself is made from the souls of those who once failed to uphold his laws and were given over to him.
Denizens:
The Denizens of the Evarraelm can be divided into several main categories based on their nature as well as their origins.
Mortal Origins:
The Sinless- Those who bear this title are renown among those who were once human and worshiped Evarast. They are known for having never violated a single facet of the codes of Evarast. They lived lives that even the exacting judge who examines all facets of life could not find flaw in. These are the rarest for few can live a life perfectly according to a code, even when they believe that their souls are at stake. These are the princes and princesses, lords and ladies among the human population of the Evarraelm.
The Justly Pardoned- These are those who served well enough that Evarast judges that their service outweighs their violations. This is in no way an act of mercy, every deed that was committed is weighed and many holy warriors who thought they did his work have been found wanting when their deeds do not measure up to the scale of their transgressions. These are far more common then the sinless and as such make up the bulk of the actually human population of the Evarraelm

Hmmm.. Again, I love the idea of the God, but if he considers himself to be righteous, and he thinks he is spreading goodness, and he is not aware of any unfortunate consequences for the non-believers, he seems a lot like many of the deities that different religious groups worship today. It doesn't need to be said, but such deities are still considered benevolent by most standards. Now while i'm all for the Mortals of the world seeing him as benevolent, I think there should probably be some unknown aspect of him that is a little more obviously evil, if you get my meaning, just so it's obvious that he is actually a part of the group of Princes of Ruin. I feel like he should knowingly use those who don't follow his law for some purpose that he knows is selfish. Though what that could be, I don't know.
He believe that he knows best. One of his elements is also dominion. And the fact that he builds his realm with the souls of those who have not upheld his laws is an example that I believe would work. He doesn't have to do that, he chose to do so.
Think of him as Lawful evil instead of Chaotic evil.

Well, the very definition of justice is the act of being just and reasonable, a concept of moral rightness, but I do get where you're coming from. It may be useful for us if his laws were put into the sheet? :)
It would be rather difficult to include the type of law code in question in the sheet. His law code is vast with thousands of rules and regulations dictating exactly what is to be done and what is not in situations and such. You know the expression byzantine law? His code is a very good example of that. And on that note he is a being that certainly considers himself to be righteous. If you asked him he would certainly not describe himself as evil.

Just got around to reading it. I like it a lot, I feel like Evarest will have a lot of dark secrets. One thing I will say, however, is it may be beneficial to change 'Law' and 'Justice' to something a bit more selfish, such as 'Obedience'. I feel like instead of wanting people to uphold law, he actually wants people simply to obey the rules he places on things. I love the idea that he is a massive egotistical god who hackysacks people who don't do what he says, but glorifies those who do. We just need to make it a little more obvious! Other than that, i'll get working on Graphics for him and Orfai.
Well Justice isn't inherently good. Justice is getting what you deserve by the standard in question. It simply means that he upholds a specific code. You might have noticed his codes of law are very difficult to actually keep. He's managed to get a good rep with the world though. Which he certainly uses to his advantage.

Also, wizards don't have to grow on trees. They are wizards, not demi gods or gods. It would be like Gandalf trying to fight Melkor.
For the record that's a very bad example since technically Gandalf was one of the Maiar which was the type of celestial being directly below the Valar which is what Melkor was. They both were divineish beings

The New Suns? XDHe has a bounce to read, especially after Darkwolfs info dump. As a side note; Lord Evarast must , hate Valindra seeing as she grants mortals the power to escape death all together. Albeit, not exactly as glorious as it sounds when all is said and done.
I wanted him to take a look at mine because people keep talking about it lot. Lord Evarast hates pretty much all the other lords of ruin. He despises them for they do not follow his law

Also, for enemies of us, how about a lot of Wizards or something?
Dude we are supposed to fight each other. Why do you keep trying to give the humans shit?
New sun do you mind looking at my sheet?
Evarast is different type of evil. He's not in your face about it. He's deceptive and formed a niche for himself in how the world views him.
You only have to look at what his realm is actually made of to realize it. He's got a great con going

Guys, can we stop talking about adding other gods? We are fine with the princes of ruin.
