Law as Force and Control
+Reflects the weaponization of law for conquest, obedience, and enforced unity. His law is not just to guide, but to command — favoring order at any cost. Empires and warlords pray to him to maintain dominance and suppress dissent through power.

Law as Moral Ideal
+Embodies personal honor, justice, duty, and righteousness — the spirit of the law rather than its letter. Worshipped by those who strive to do what is right, even when it comes at great personal cost. This is the code of the knight, the protector, the martyr.
+(The Lord of Nine's influence is rooted in the manipulation of agreements and laws, where promises bind individuals to him. He never breaks his word, but uses these unbreakable contracts to subtly corrupt, control, and lead followers into damnation.)
(The Lord of Nine's influence is subtle yet inescapable. His power operates through the manipulation of agreements, contracts, and laws—each one seemingly voluntary, yet leading followers deeper into his grasp. He does not break promises; rather, he entangles them within an unbreakable web of obligations, where the path to damnation is obscured by the allure of success, power, and control. Ultimately, his followers become bound to him in ways they may never realize until it’s too late.)

Context (for reality):
The Lord of Nine operates within the immutable framework of law, using contracts and agreements as his tools. He does not break promises but ensures that each pact made is a binding chain that cannot be undone. Followers may believe they act with free will, but in reality, their word becomes a trap they cannot escape, leading them deeper into his influence and eventual damnation.
Law as Binding and Exploitation
+Symbolizes the seductive and absolute power of law — used not to guide or protect, but to trap, control, and corrupt. His law is immutable and inescapable, twisted into chains cloaked as contracts, bargains, and "consent." A devil’s smile beneath a lawyer’s robe.
"Every contract is a promise. Every promise is a chain. Every chain, in time, leads to him."
