Oath of Preservation

Paladins who take the oath of preservation are known as Blue sentries, as their armor is draped in blue velvet and they can commonly be seen patrolling the grounds of institutions of knowledge from the looming threats that may seek to destroy documents, or other scholarly journals. Many Blue Sentries dedicate themselves to the works of high wizards, others to record keeping institutions, but most wander the world, documenting the world around them and will heed the call when libraries or colleges are threatened. Tenants of Preservation: A paladin to take the oath of preservation gets the tenants branded on the back of each hand.

Tenants of Preservation: A paladin who takes the oath of preservation must get the tenants branded on the back of each hand.

Preserve and protect- You must preserve, and protect with every cell in your body, scholars, libraries, colleges, and any other institution that catalogs data that will be used to further the civilized world. 

Share the Wealth- It is a duty to educate, and help blooming societies who accept your teachings. It is not uncommon for these paladins to adopt a following of intuitive commoners who deem themselves visionaries for their communities. And with open arms do these paladins teach all they possibly can.

Take the Learning opportunities- There should never be a waking moment these paladins are not trying to learn the inner makings of something they do not understand.
