Solthurn

Solthurn, the Inquisitor, is the god of divine judgment—not the law, but its execution. Where others interpret rules, Solthurn delivers sentences. He does not deliberate. He decides. In his eyes, morality is irrelevant; justice is action, and punishment is clarity.

He is depicted as a towering force in thick armor. His voice is like falling chains—measured, echoing, final. It is said that those who hear their sentence spoken by Solthurn feel the weight of the verdict in their bones, long before the punishment begins.

His realm, the Red Tribunal, is a cathedral-city of endless trials. Souls walk its marbled corridors not to argue innocence, but to be weighed. Great tomes record every sin and virtue in ink that burns the pages when read aloud. Celestial judges walk in silence, meting out divine penalties with surgical precision.

Solthurn’s justice does not account for mercy or reform. He does not believe in redemption—only reckoning. Once a sentence is passed, it cannot be undone. He is often feared by mortals and gods alike, not out of cruelty, but because his rulings never bend, and his silence always means guilt.

He has no patience for deception, and often works in tandem with Sila, the Veiled Keeper of Fates, when fate’s will requires divine enforcement. While Valerius governs civil law and order, Solthurn delivers cosmic justice without regard for society’s shifting standards. His justice is ancient, primal, and absolute.

His worshipers include executioners, inquisitors, divine bounty hunters, and vow-bound magistrates who treat emotion as obstruction. His clerics are known as Sentencers and carry sacred writs that, when read aloud, cause even incorporeal beings to falter.

Temples to Solthurn are cold, minimalist halls with red banners and iron altars. Confession is not requested. It is recorded.

Miracles tied to Solthurn include enforced truth (even from demons), punishments delivered across planar distances, and magical brands that mark the guilty no matter how they change form. In rare cases, he has intervened to execute even divine entities—those judged by his tribunal as irredeemably corrupt.
