Oath of the New Dawn

The Oath of the New Dawn is an oath taken by those who once walked in the darkness. For those who once lost their way, made mistakes and hurt those around them but through their own realisation or divine intervention are now back on the path of the righteousness. While in many ways this path is one of redemption, more than that it is one of new beginnings. To  understand wrong doings and failures of your past but to learn from them and decide to move on to try and be the best version of yourself. To embrace the new dawn, the new day and the concept of new possibilities. To understand the next day will always come no matter what mistakes were made the day before and that it is never too late to turn things around and make a difficult choice. To once more start again. 

 

The Tenets of the Oath of the New Dawn

The Tenets of the Oath of the New Dawn are chosen as a spiritual reminder of choice to start anew and to continue down that path.

Ascend like the New Dawn: Do not relive your past and let it define you. Your past gives you experience and information. Use it and continue to improve and strive towards the best version of yourself. 

Illuminate the Unseen: Your experience allows you to understand that things are not what they always seem to be. What is looks to be well and good is quite often corrupt. And what can sometimes look evil is often benevolent. It is up to you to Scrutinize which one is which.

Banish the Darkness: In your life you have made many mistakes and added to the darkness of the world. Now have the courage to fight the treachery and injustice and provide aid to the innocent.

Channel Divinity

saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
