Lore & History
When Anachron withdrew from the world, many feared that law itself would crumble. Instead, Astraea—a lesser celestial who had long served the cause of justice—rose to carry that burden. She inherited his dominion over law but brought her own interpretation: that justice must serve people, not abstract principles. Her rise suggests that law evolves, adapting to the needs of those it protects rather than crushing them beneath unyielding order.
