Oath of the Warden

Oath of the Warden

Warden Moto;

“ In duty, honor. In war, victory. In peace, vigilance. In death, sacrifice. “

Vigilance. Corruption seeps into the material world like a disease. What crawls into our world are pests. Be vigilant to signs of extraplanar influence.

Loyalty. Never accept gifts or favors from those who attempt to invade our realms. Stay true to your order, to your cause, to your comrades and the duty you’re bound.

Discipline. You are the shield against the endless terrors that lie beyond the stars. Your blade must be ready and your mind keen to endure what crawls out of the dark.

Selflessness. You embark on this path not out of glory or gain, but to push back the tide of imminent darkness. Fight in place of those who are unable.

Secrecy. Information and power born of the dark must be destroyed, or sealed away from those who would seek to abuse it. The toil you endure and the darkness from which you learn must remain secret until you are granted pardon in death.
