Azorius Dedicate (4e Theme)
Azorius Dedicate
Bringing order from chaos - that is the mission of the Azorius Senate. The Azorius believe that without civilization and the legal code that governs it, society would crumble and life would descend into disarray. The Senate's ultimate goal is the perfection of society. They want to protect the innocent and foster a community of peace and harmony. A society's values, they contend, are reflected in the laws it creates. Something is good if it is lawful. As a member of the Azorius, you believe above all that it is your duty and obligation to enforce the law. You carry this weighty responsibility with stoic pride, and you work tirelessly to uphold and honor your values and the law in all aspects of life. You are aware that the forces of evil work just as tirelessly as you to bring about chaos and destruction, so you must never falter in your beliefs, or else society as you know it could crumble. As a member of the senate, you are a force for order, charged with fighting crime and evil.
