Gods

⚖️ Donblas the Justice Maker

God of Truth, Law, Protection, and the Cleansing Sun
Greater Deity of the White Lords

📜 Lore & Origin

Donblas the Justice Maker is the high arbiter of the celestial pantheon known as the White Lords, and the radiant embodiment of Law, Truth, and Divine Justice. Once a shining presence upon the Prime Material Plane, Donblas was cast out by the forces of Chaos. From his empyreal realm of Solarion, he watches and judges the mortal world, awaiting the day he may return when mortals cry out for justice pure and absolute.

He is said to speak with a voice like chiming crystal and to shine so brightly that mortals of less than 12th level fall to their knees in awe at the mere sight of him.

🌞 Depiction

Donblas appears as a golden-skinned androgynous figure of immense beauty and power. His amber hair flows like sunlight, his eyes burn with unwavering judgment, and great white wings arch from his back. He is unarmed, for his word alone brings order, and his will is as binding as chains of light.

✨ Holy Garb of Donblas

“Let your vestments shine as your judgment does. The Light does not hide in shadow.”
— Doctrine of the Second Flame

Clerics of Donblas are distinguished not only by their deeds but by their sacred attire, which marks their progression in faith and the divine authority they wield. These garments are not mere ceremony—they are conduits of celestial power, functioning as divine spellcasting foci.

Clerics must wear or bear their appropriate garb to prepare and cast spells. Improper attire risks divine silence until atonement or rededication.

⛓️ Rules for Divine Focus in Donblas’s Faith

Spellcasting Restriction: Clerics of Donblas must wear or touch the appropriate level of holy garb to prepare and cast spells.

Defilement or Loss: If a piece of sacred garb is desecrated, destroyed, or lost, the cleric cannot prepare new spells of that level until the item is repaired, reconsecrated, or replaced through a church rite.
