The Oath of the Shadow Order {Making the Oath public to put some fears to rest, but the order membership is still secret)

Lore

The Oath of a Shadow Knight These words come down to us from an ancient knightly order. 1: Never divulge your or anothers membeship in the Order. 2: Be loyal, just and true, and serve everyone as best you may. 3: Seek the fellowship of good folk; hearken to their words and remember them. 4: Be humble and courteous wherever thou go, boasting not nor talking overmuch, but be neither dumb nor silent altogether. 5: Look to it that no lad or damsel be in reproach through your default. And if you fall into company where folk speak with disrespect of any person, show by gracious words that it pleaseth you not, and depart.

The Order of Shadow knight is to promote Justice in Spera and act as a network of informants to keep tyranny at bay. We are the shadow of justice that keeps the balance for all.

The Prayer for a Shadow Knight’s Sword: This is based on an ancient Medieval Prayer "Hearken we beseech Thee, [insert deity name], to our prayers, and deign to bless with the hand of justice this sword with which Thy servant desires to be girded, that it may be a defense of churches, widows, orphans and all Thy servants against the scourge of injustice, that it may be the terror and dread of all evil-doers, and that it may be just in both attack and defense."
