Lord Captain Commander Pedron Niall's In Service to the Light
This handbook, written by Lord Captain Commander Pedron Niall, is reproduced and distributed to all ranks.
“The Children have authority wherever the Light is, and where the Light is not, we bring it.”
Light's Oaths
As the light bears witness, I solemnly swear to serve the lights will and purpose. To spread the lights word and bring it to the darkest corners of the world.
I swear that I will obey my Captains and aid my fellow children, yet never compromise my loyalty to the light in doing so.
By the lights will I swear that no Darkfriend shall stand known without purging. I will forward the light in all faces of shadow, and eradicate darkness from this world.
If my life need be forfeit in the service of the light I will do so proudly and honorably, knowing that the lights work has been done.
In all things, I swear that I will follow the lights path set before me, unflinching and dutiful. If I falter from my path, I wholly accept my own purging in hopes of redemption.

- If they fail from pure weakness of the body then they may retake the trial again in a weeks time henceforth
- The oaths will then be taken and a uniform given to them
Justice
