Could anyone name a power that takes special interest in the maintainance and enforcement of contracts and oaths? LN is prefered. I need it for my NaNoWriMo entry.
Thanks.

Varuna. Intermediate deity of Mechanus, LN.
God of cosmic order, dharma, and lord of the sky.
"As upholder of the physical and moral order, he is the protector of oaths and the divine judge." - 2e Legends & Lore.
"Varuna is the god of physical and moral order, the personification of lawfulness. He is the protector of all oaths, and oathbreakers of the lawful alignments have reason to fear his wrath." - 1e Deities & Demigods.
"In early times, Varuna was the universal monarch and the guardian of cosmic law. He created the three worlds: the heavens, earth, and the air between them. He was all-seeing and a judge of the actions of mortals." - Dictionary of Ancient Deities.
He's an Indian/Vedic god. His realm in Mechanus is called the Vigilant Eye. It interlocks the realms of Rudra and Yama, and it is as smooth and polished as the sky, silver-white like the surface of the moon. Or however you want it to look - that description was from the 1e Manual of the Planes and I consider it far from canonical. On Hallowed Ground might say something different.
