Hellknights & Code of Law


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


Which laws exactly do the hellknight orders enforce? Do they have a Code of Law of their own (or diferent for each order)?

Do they enforce the laws of Cheliax (supposedly remade by the ruling elite after House Thrune took over things)?

Did Cheliax chose to adopt the laws of the hellknight orders?

Or are there separate codes of law: hellknight law and chelish law?

Those who wear the armor take in one hand the Chain and in the other hand the Measure.

The Chain guides us to the principle of Law. Discipline, Order, and Mercilessness.

The Measure is a record of crime and punishment. By considering the discipline doled out in the past, the Hellknight judges how to punish in the future.

By the hand of Abrogail Thune I, the Empire of Cheliax grants the Hellknight Orders autonomy from the laws of Cheliax so the Hellknight Orders might purge from the empire the cults and wickedness of disorder and dissent.

The Pathfinder Chronicles have recorded an acceptable summary of our beliefs in the third and fourth chapters of the Council of Thieves adventure path. Seek you wisdom there, and here, a thread that discussed many of your questions at some length.
