Tarastia is a patron of those who value laws and judgements. Her followers have described a strict code of Laws which have been adopted by many of the more "civilised" kingdoms and empires in the Known World which emphasise punishments which reflect the severity of the crimes committed. Strict adherence to the cult's following does not restrict vengeance to the authorities, however, so long as retribution is justly deserved and appropriate. The religion has been widely popular on the outer planes amongst former members of the Mercykiller faction. She appears as a dusky-skinned, strong-jawed, unsmiling woman in black plate armour, carrying a headsman's axe; and is popular amongst fighters and paladins particularly.
