Oath of the Crystalline Guardians

TENETS

---

The tenets of the Oath of the Crystalline Guardian drive a paladin to protect their kin and their society.

Rampart Against Chaos: You are the shield against
destruction. You protect those that cannot protect
themselves.

Preserve the Order: Rapid change brings chaos. Chaos is
the small imperfection that breaks the whole. Never let chaos
infiltrate your beliefs or your society.

Withstand the Pressure: It's under the highest of
pressures that the sturdiest gems form. When others falter
and turn away, you will embrace the difficulty. Where other
stones and people shatter, you remain unbroken.
