Serving Law

The 7atron communicates with his "aw Champion ( means of dreams) -isions) portents) or

di-ination. The link (etween the Champion and his 7atron) due to the irre!ularities in the warp) is

tenuous and irre!ular) so it is rare for 7atrons to !i-e direct orders. The "aw Gods use their Championsto further their own aims and desires in the Warhammer World. /ometimes these !ods send Champions

of "aw to foil Champions of Chaos) reco-er stolen or lost artifacts) destro lairs) co-ens) or temples of

Chaos worshippers) or simpl to !ain new or redisco-er lost knowled!e. The Champions life (ecomesan endless series of >uests) crusades) and raids a!ainst the forces of Chaos.

The Champions Fate

successful Champion will attract the attention of his 7atron who will then reward him in asuita(le wa. Rewards can include an enhanced profile) fa(ulous weapons or armor) a few lawful

Followers) or a few uncann superhuman a(ilities. The rewards are lar!el ad-anta!eous and none ofthem are harmful.

=f a Champion is true to his Gods ideals and -er successful in furtherin! them) he will recei-eenou!h rewards so that one da the 7atron will reward him with the ultimate !ift of all ?? immortalitA

The Champion (ecomes an immortal /eraph and enters the Realm of "aw to sit alon!side his 7atron.

The new /eraph lea-es the mortal world (ut hisFollowersstill continue to re-ere and respect him) (utnow as the powerful immortal that he has (ecome. The former Champion ma e-en !rant aid to his old

(and of ad-enturers andFollowers) and mi!ht recommend to his "ord those deser-in! of (ein!

ele-ated to the status of Champion of "aw.Few Champions are pious or fortunate enou!h to attain /eraph status. For some) the (lood end

comes all too soon at the hands of Chaos. For others) the power of Chaos corrupts e-en these defenders

of ;ustice and sta(ilit.

The Champion of "aws !reatest assets in the war a!ainst Chaos are those that support him and
