The **Legalists** of [[Elturel, the Holy City|Elturel]] are supporters of the status quo. Led by: the aged **Ithamar Dhelt**, the current High Observer, and mostly old humans but they have support of the non-religious factions and non-official cults. ## Pros - a high degree of civil liberties for commoners - political independence to the cities - trade monopolies to noble houses (yay?) ## Cons - bureaucracy: a lot of complicated pacts, charters and treaty rights . ## Beliefs/Goals - Prioritize keeping the various factions intriguing with each other rather than discontent with the regime - Believe all good _or_ lawful gods are equal and allowed into the official sponsorship of the Church and they tolerate neutral gods. Only Evil is beyond redemption.
