Oath of Protection

Mercy for the wicked: Act with conviction but do not be consumed by rage towards oppressors who have a chance of changing their ways.

Protector of the innocent: Protect those who cannot protect themselves with all your might as you may be their only shield.

The strength of hope: Show others your strength to become their hope towards a better future.

Unwavering courage: Do not waver your conviction or lower your weapon when faced with a great foe as you serve as the guardian of those who stand behind you.
