			* [[Ikela]]: She is worshipped as part of the [[Ikelan Religion\|Church of the Congregation, United]] as the patron of the Magistrata (the collective society of judges), mainly by the Evenhanded title. Many appeal to her for relief from tormentors or injustice. Additionally, there are several (small) orders of warriors, vigilantes, and oath-sworn who consider her their patron. Thieves and criminals routinely take her name in vain ("By the Broken Scales!" or "May the scales tip my way").

			====Pre-divine Status====
			Unknown. Including race and gender, although she is mostly referred to in the feminine, at least in Western [[Noefra]]. Some scholars believe that she was a human who had previously apotheosized and joined the [[Angels\|Angelic Legions]] before being tapped for deity status.
