[QUOTE="Peskara, post: 1796403, member: 5241"] [b]Paladin Oaths[/b] I wrote my own. This is for a paladin of Valysa, the goddess of justice, virtue, mercy and war (as a protector and defender, not as an aggressor, except in a good cause). She's generally depicted as an armored woman or angel with a warhorn and two swords or a lance and shield. The horse and the dog are her sacred beasts. She's also known as the Queen of Paladins. This oath serves as both the code my paladin lives by and a prayer that she says every morning. "I am the Hand of the Lady. By horse, hound and horn I swear my life to Her. Like Her warhorse I accept the charge of battle for the sake of others. I respectfully submit to the rightful and good laws of legitimate authority. I serve selflessly. With integrity, humility and personal courage I perform my duty to Valysa, Her church, and those worthy of Her protection. Like Her loyal hound I guard the good works of man. My faith will be the salvation of all I am sworn to defend. Like the clarion blast of Her warhorn I am ever vigilant against evil, tyranny and injustice. By lance, sword and shield I swear myself to Her. Like Her lance I will lead the charge to victory, not for my own glory, but for the greater glory of Her name, even if I be broken upon the ranks of Her enemies. Like Her swords I am the righteousness that cuts to the heart of evil, yet I am tempered with compassion for the victims of oppression, slaughter, malice, treachery and disease. Like Her shield I am the justice that protects the innocent and the downtrodden, forged in the fires of mercy that purify the souls of the repentant. Honor is Her armor and mine. Its steel is my will, my resolve never to lie, cheat, gamble, or take unfair advantage of friend or foe. May I always be a paragon of loyalty, duty, respect, integrity, chastity, courage and humility, that I may bring no tarnish to Her name or my own and serve as an example to all. I am a paladin of Valysa, Her chosen champion. I am devoted to Her, mind, body and soul. I am a channel of Her will. If I fail Her, may She have mercy on my soul." [/QUOTE]
