Time and time again, those with evil in their hearts, who hate the gods, or who would plunder the riches of temples and shrines strike out against the faithful. Each temple burned, each priest assaulted, each innocent person in a god-fearing community carried off in chains is an affront to your deity. Such actions cannot stand without divine retribution. Thus, you become your god’s sword of vengeance, your ultimate purpose to mete out justice on those who have wronged your faith.
The gods all have at least one holy avenger who fights in their name. Some have an entire order who scour the lands to punish their enemies, while others might have only one or two. Holy avengers wear icons to display their allegiance. Such symbols might appear on surcoats, on banners carried in battle, or tattooed directly onto the skin.
