Fragment from a poem entitled "Justice"
(circa 500 Years before the Cataclysm)
- Justice is a stern, cold thing
Whose only voice is the gavel's ring.
Justice can't see power, wealth or [?]
Only the truth of the facts of a case.
Justice has no ears to listen to mournful pleas.
They are wasted on Justice, like wishes on a breeze.
For Justice is as stark as the midday sun,
which, like Justice, burns down on everyone.
Justice is not constrained by law, tradition or king's decree;
It applies to Monarch, Merchant, Monk and Mendicant equally.
Justice may not be swift, but it will never tire,
For it burns forever like a heavenly fire.
Ignoring Justice is a risk great,
As it might result with your head on a plate.
So heed these words and be a man true,
This way you will have no fear when Justice is looking at you.

- Justice was a winner of the Scholars of Novia's "Fragments from the Library of Deekka the Druidess" contest.[1]
