Oath of Solidarity
The Oath of Solidarity calls to paladins who want to make the world a better place, not only by slaying evil, but also through friendship, they try to help those who need it and they know that loneliness can lead to the worst paths. However, do not confuse kindness for cowardice. Like all paladins, they are willing to fight for their beliefs and to defend their tenets but most importantly to defend their friends.
Tenets of Solidarity
Any paladin that takes this oath knows that to be a true friend you must respect these tenets.
Trust. Trust your friends, let your friends know they can trust you, and never betray a friend's trust.
Respect. You may disagree with your friend's choices, or you may try to suggest your own idea, but you must always respect who your friend is and the choices they make.
Kindness. Be kind to your friends and show them that you care about them.
Pride. Celebrate not only your achievements but be happy for all of your friend's accomplishments as well.
Solidarity. When a friend's in trouble you must help them at the best of your abilities, leaving a friend behind is the worst sin you could commit.
