The ordination of Castigere, god of justice, took place just after New Year. He was the first deity to have risen through a competitive Ordination. Castigere's mortal spirit was Galahad, a Mage with a smattering of Alchemical abilities. He was pitted against Helkarakse, the mightiest Sorcerer of his time. Both mortals were allowed to choose a second. Galahad chose Eshkadeth, his fellow Mage, while Helkarakse chose Grendel, the Thief. Because of previous achievements, it was determined that Galahad should begin with the divine amethyst and his task was simple - to walk, slowly, across the land from Astrea's Delta in the far northeast, to the Rock Pinnacle in the far west. His walk must be uninterrupted, a sign of his dominance of the land. Helkarakse's task was to wrest the amethyst from Galahad, at which point he could claim the gem as his own, and become a God himself. The groups met on the Parrian Highway, with Helkarakse targeting his demons against the Mages while Grendel attempted to steal the amethyst from them. Unfortunately for the Sorcerer, Galahad had charged his white dragon with the task of holding the amethyst - and, faced with the task of slaying the dragon, Helkarakse and Grendel were caught uncertain. Eshkadeth and Galahad counter-attacked along the highway and drove Helkarakse back. The procession was to continue unchallenged, for Galahad's dragon stood firm and was not attacked. Galahad ascended the Rock Pinnacle before the assembled masses, hurled the amethyst into the pool of the Gods and raised the sceptre above the land. Thus was Castigere, the god of justice born.
