The Order of Voskis
Intent matters little when the words are clear

Voskis in History
Early Voskis scholars posited that if the universe was so neatly planned and fine-tuned, then so too should be a society. Every person is to be put into their structured place, safe and secure in the knowledge that they have purpose in the fulfillment of that duty. The Voskis were among the first to settle down into neatly planned villages, with specific districts that catered to community needs. Everyone’s talent was assessed and they were given a role according to their gifts, but everyone, no matter their role, was beholden to the law. The Voskis calling was to create, curate and tend to the law, ensuring it served the needs of the people and kept society functioning in a positive way.
Voskis Today
The Voskis headquarters are within Maram, the capital of Chalameria. The members function as legal aides wherever they are found, and help to arbitrate matters great and small when called upon. A Voskin loathes nothing more than a rumor or speculation being taken as fact. They are often courted into towns and villages across Chalameria to act as magistrates, sheriffs, and barristers. Those who tend towards the more theoretical or scholarly applications of the law are welcomed to make their home in Maram where they may write treatise, or openly discuss their philosophies with others with hopes of their interpretations becoming truth.
The Djinn: Keeper of Balance in Society
The Djinn, a being of enigma, wisdom, and fleeting presence, embodies the delicate interplay of savagery and heresy with gentleness and law. It stands as a guide for those navigating the complexities of society, urging them to balance tradition with progress, justice with mercy, and the old world with the new. The Djinn’s realm is one of intellect and adaptability, where debate, argument, and collaboration shape a better future.
The Djinn's Realm: Law and Heresy
The Djinn's teachings emphasize understanding both the letter of the law and the spirit of justice:
Law’s Absolutism ensures order and fairness, demanding justice and accountability.
Heresy’s Challenge protects against tyranny, advocating for adaptability and reform.
The tension between these forces drives societal progress, with the Djinn urging thoughtful mediation to ensure neither side dominates.
Patronage of the Djinn
The Djinn favors those who engage deeply with societal structures, including:
Barristers who defend the rule of law.
Offenders who challenge oppressive systems.
Orators who inspire change through speech.
Hugger-muggers who navigate the shadows of society.
The Djinn teaches that law must be firm yet adaptable, and that punishments should reflect the nuances of each situation. It values those who balance mercy with justice, protecting the vulnerable while holding the powerful accountable.
Chalameria: A People of Balance
The people of Chalameria have achieved a rare harmony, honoring the law while showing compassion. They support their nobles, uphold fairness, and extend mercy to those in need without compromising justice. Their strength lies in their ability to walk the line between rigidity and leniency, embodying the Djinn's ideals.
The Current Boon of the Djinn
Reflecting the people's adherence to balance, the Djinn's neutral standing grants:
2x/LP Wall of Force and 2x/LP Silence.
This boon underscores the Djinn's commitment to fostering wisdom, debate, and adaptability, empowering those who seek to build a just and compassionate society.
