The Archangel Jaser, the World's Keeper

The Archangel Jaser is the guardian of the world; chosen by the Creator of All Things to protect and guide those that dwell upon it. He is the primary mentioned Deity in the Time of the Green Star campaign.

The Jaserian Pantheon

The Supreme One, Creator of All Things

Description: Little is known about the Supreme One save that he created everything that exists or could exist within the heavens. After completing his work the Supreme One created a group of near omnipotent servitors to guide the heavens in his absence. It was the hubris of the Primarch, known now only as the Archdaemon, that lead to the War in Heaven. Jaser was chosen by his fellows to lead the forces of the Supreme One. The war raged for countless eons and in the end no being and no realm stood unscathed. The Creator of All Things, in his guilt and anger locked the Archdaemon within the confines of the Green Star, and gathered all of the surviving lesser races of the Endless War in Heaven, placing them upon The World and placing the world's key in the hand of his most faithful servant Jaser, before disappearing.

Militant Orders

Ordo Mundo Servatorum, The Order of the World's Keeper. Neutral Good

Required Domains: War Allowed Domains: Good, Protection, Strength Favored Weapon: Mace

Ordo Mundus Defensor, Order of the World Defender. Questing Knights that have sworn themselves to the church of Jaser. Born to a family of dedicated servants of Jaser, Thomas has known nothing but a life of dedication and service to his patron diety. His father (Argon) was a senior knight in the order, who led armies of their knights into battle. But a few years ago Argon fell in battle when the errant he was leading the defense against a village under seige by a large orc raiding party. The battle was won but his wounds were fatal. His mother (Annabelle) is a high priestess in the Order, currently serving as battle priestess to the errant her husband gave his life for.

Ordo Electæ dominæ, Order of the Chosen Lady. These are fighting nuns that model their lives after Lady Bethan, they often retire to become Matrons of Bethan when they reach an advanced age.

Peaceful Orders

I've been describing Jaser as male thus far becasue I pictured him as Michael the Archangel as well. My suggesting would be this, an edit to the nun that spoke to me in the Cathedral. Despite being female she organized the Abbey of the World's Keeper and assisted in the formation guidance and training of the original fighting brethren of Jaser's Ordos. Instead of angel slaves the nuns are known as either Matrons of Bethan(the equivalent of a cannoness or mother abbess) or Handmaidens of Bethan. The nobility tend to directly offer prayers to Lady Bethan due to having been part of the gentry. (Similarly to how the christian churches will sometimes pray to Christ instead of God depending on the day and denomination.)

An eldery nun, a Matron of Bethan, approaches.

'You despise us for our decadence. I can see it. I too fear that we might lose our way. These silver and jeweled idols were made in love, but I fear the church in rich Guildtown has come to love silver and jewels for their own sake. I thank the Arch-Angel, the World's Keeper put in place by the Supreme One, that pure warrior clerics like you are still abroad.'

The Angel Figures

Jaser the Guardian

Jaser the Benevolent

With that statement Ventas rises and steps upon the central Dias. The reliquary sits between two statues one shrouded and one uncovered. The uncovered statue is that of Jaser standing in welcome, empty hands spread. The piercing fire has returned to the friar's eyes once again and her tears the covering off of the other statue.

This second statue is generally only used on a rare few holy days, such as the day of choosing, in the greater church but is much more commonly seen among the abbeys of the militant orders. It features Jaser with his Mace and Shield clad in war torn robes and armor, a look of steadfast determination on his face. A smaller figure stands below and in front of Jaser rising only to his knee, the Lady Bethan in mail coif and armored coat her longsword held in a guard position a halo of holy flame above her head.
