Oath of the Veilwatch

Under the watchful gaze of Karnaggonn, I stand ready to serve the Order of the Veil. With unwavering resolve, I solemnly vow:

1. To uphold the balance of light and shadow, embracing both the radiant truths and the hidden mysteries of our world.
2. To seek out knowledge and understanding, ensuring that the secrets of the judged are recorded with integrity.
3. To wield my gifts with wisdom and caution, using my abilities to uncover the truth and protect the innocent.
4. To honor the unity brought forth by Karnaggonn’s Boon, bridging the divide between Vesyna’s darkness and Lonysus’ light.
5. To remain vigilant and just, always acting in accordance with the highest ideals of the Veilwatch.
6. To protect my comrades and the realm, using every skill at my disposal to defend against those who threaten our mission.
7. To act with integrity and courage, never allowing fear or corruption to sway me from my duty.

By the power bestowed upon me by Karnaggonn, I accept this sacred duty. May my actions always reflect the unity, truth, and balance that define the Veilwatch. With this oath, I bind myself to the service of the Veil and the protection of Keltia.
