The collective god of justice and balance, enforcing cosmic law.
Overview
Drawn from Tribunal — deity description.EQ1Primary · official
Followers of The Tribunal seek one thing above all else: justice.
While some claim to express this desire by pursuing careers as guards or magistrates, true believers in The Tribunal do not recognize the rights of any court on Norrath and enforce the Tribunal's sense of ultimate justice on the rest of the population. Retribution, vengeance, and punishment are sacred duties. Followers of The Tribunal are methodical, patient and just. They must be so, for it is their belief that if they punish an innocent, The Tribunal will pass judgement against them, and doom them to an eternity.

The Tome of Order and Discord was penned by the seventh member of the Tribunal and has become the key to a life of Discord, in spite of the author's pitiful warnings." As stated by a Priest of Discord near the year 5313.
Introduction
It is with great effort that we decipher the teachings found within the original tattered tome. The most we could gather from the writings are titles of chapters that we believe are basic rules to living a life of Discord. Much of the information has been updated with relevant terms of our age and it is done not to dilute the teachings, but to make sure we provide relevant information and allow everyone to grasp the essence of our philosophy.
Order and Chaos are everliving and permeate our body and mind. They are the true nature that fights for dominance in our daily lives. It is impossible to claim control over ourselves without first making the choice to follow one or the other. You have chosen the path of Discord. Discord will allow each of us to fully experience what it is to be a superior being over others that claim to be. Since the beginning of time Order and Chaos have moved across the minds of all living creatures. Only in Discord will we satiate the yearning in our hearts.We are the Seekers of Discord!
As a Seeker of Discord, you are now faced with more dangers than your average Order follower. You not only face the dangers of the wilderness but also of others that have embraced Discord like yourself. You may have felt relatively safe for the earlier part of your travels but that is only because it is not until your 10th season that you can appreciate Discord enough to participate. We will explain a few rules in the next chapters that will hopefully aid you in your path. We are separated into three casts: Exile, Freeport and Qeynos factions.
