Oath of the Guardian

Loyalty. Your word is your bond. Without loyalty, oaths and laws are meaningless.

Duty. Be responsible for your actions and their consequences, protect those entrusted to your care, and obey those who have just authority over you.

Vigilance. The threats you face are cunning, powerful, and subversive. Be ever alert for their corruption.

Courage. You must be willing to do what needs to be done for the sake of order, even in the face of overwhelming odds. If you don’t act, then who will?

Discipline. You are the shield against the endless terrors that lie beyond the stars. Your blade must be forever sharp and your mind keen to survive what lies beyond.
