Concepts are ideas, techniques, and systems of power that make a fantasy world what it is. Anything that is used or applied by a Sapient being is a concept. From Smithing to Carpentry to Pyromancy, Concepts cover almost anything that would be a persistent part of the world that can be used by the sapient species that inhabit it.

Name: Jackle, Lord of Contract, The Binder, The Dream Broker.

Player Name: Riaxh

Domains (Portfolios): Binding (Covenant), Power (Value)

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Symbol(s): He is commonly symbolised by a writing implement dripping blood, but is also represented with symbology involving scales and parchment.

Appearance: To Mortals, Jackle usually chooses to communicate simply by means of a large leather bound tome, ink forming on the pages to reflect his speech, in a form they will understand. Both the illiterate and the blind shall know his words. On occasions he deems important he might choose to appear as he would to another god, as a stern, sombre man of dark hair and furrowed brow.

Personality: What is the value of a life? What is the price of power? What are gods and men willing to give in order to obtain that which they desire? These are the questions that fascinate Jackle, and the answers are his kingdom.

He is the contract maker. Men, gods and everything in between may come to him for boons, curses and miracles. But in order for something to be gained, something of equal value must be given. This is the concept which Jackle embodies, the fundamental truth it is his duty to uphold. Whether cosmic power or an oath, a service or even mundane earthly goods, for Jackle the rightful exchange of these things is sacred.

He admires much in mortals for their sacrifices, and enjoys being able to grant them those opportunities which they may never have had the chance to get themselves. But he cannot favour one cause over another, and he is equally likely to deal with men in pursuit of revenge, spite or greed, and be darkly fascinated in the process. The important thing is that the correct price is paid.

He strongly believes that the miracles of gods should not be given freely, or else what would be left for mortals to strive for in life?

Dogma: Jackle seeks to guard against a world full of rampant interference from the gods. That which is given must be earned, and that which is taken must be paid for. This is the natural order which must be maintained. Followers of jackle teach this is the fundamental law of the universe and the key to order. Promises and contracts are sacred and must be upheld. Oathbreakers are abhorred over all others. Unsurprisingly, thievery is considered sinful by most followers of Jackle, however there are those who argue that the risk of being caught is the price paid for stealing.
