Oath of the Solar Radiance[]
Created by the Solar Elves, this Oath was designed to adequately protect and restore the rightful name of the Sun's Glory. With this Oath and their skill in blacksmithing, they would become a force to be reckoned with. The solar elves go back as old as time and creation of the new world. Passing down their legacies and their skills to only those who are worthy of protecting her radiance, the Sun.
Tenants of the Sun[]
The tenants of the Sun were created by the very elders who have been said to have created her radiance. These tenants were created to protect and serve the solar elder's best interests for her radiance. Now with the paladins who bind themselves to these four commands, they are set in stone as their way of life.
Never Abuse her Radiance. The sun covers us all with its majesty, it is not there to fix every problem you may have. The Sun's powers Are meant to reveal the evil in the darkness, to slay those who would threaten her Radiance. The Sun is not a toy.
The' Sun's Judgment is Law. The Elders Are the law of this Oath, they have seen the world for longer than near creation itself and dare to accept new world livings and are not afraid to say they are wrong about old tenants. But when they say to do something, you do it. As the god of the sun is watching their actions.
Protect All her Light Touches The light is your Oath, the Sun makes that light and many living creatures depend on it. Protect that life with all that you have. As the beings who cannot protect themselves need you.
Never Fear or Regret Fleeing You are but one knight of the order. If a problem is to much to handle alone. Seek help, never fear cooperation. As the sun respects your need and your resolve to seek help on a troubling task.
