Knights, crusaders, and law-bringers, these individuals seek not just to spread divine justice, but to embody the teachings of the virtuous deities they serve. In pursuit of their lofty goals, they adhere to ironclad laws of morality and discipline. As reward for their righteousness, these holy champions are blessed with boons to aid them in their quests: powers to banish evil and inspire the faithful.
