White Order
The White Order was an organization of paladin knights formed by Maximillian the White during the Dawn War. They were known by several names throughout the world's history; these paladins were also called White Knights, Solar Knights, or Knights Chevalier. The White Order was founded on the precepts of a sacred Oath of Devotion.
Tenets of the White Order
Though the exact wording of Oaths of Devotion differed depending on time and place, a paladin taking such an oath signaled that they were binding themselves to five general tenets:
- Honesty, to never lie or cheat
- Courage, to be brave in battle and in life
- Compassion, to aid the weak and to show mercy with wisdom
- Honor, to treat others with fairness and to do good
- Duty, to mete out just punishment and to be responsible for one's actions
