Oath of the Law

The Oath of the Law is the order made by authority and the rules set to keep people save. The paladins who swear such an oath are bound to it by the law of their land and must protect and serve the citizen of their community. They must be ready to risk their life for anyone in danger and stand between crime and the innocence of common people. A glowing symbol of safety and constant protector. These paladins normally take up the role of law enforcement and even guardsmenship. They are men of their word and fight for the rights and safety of all. This kind of paladin shines while surrounded by allies as they are trained in the way coordinating their forces and aid those around them.
