Author's Comments:
The Oath of the Ancients is as old as the Ancients themselves. Paladins who swear this oath cast their lot with the side of life on the star in the cosmic struggle against the death of its inhabitants. They pledge themselves to be the Champion of The Twelve.
Tenets of the Ancients
The tenets of the Oath of the Ancients have been preserved for uncountable centuries. This oath emphasizes the principles of protecting the star and its inhabitants above any concerns of law or chaos. Its four central principles are simple.
-Kindle Life. Through your acts of mercy, kindness, and forgiveness, kindle the light of life in the world, beating back despair.
-Shelter Life. Where there is good, love, and laughter in the world, stand against the wickedness that would swallow it. Where life flourishes, stand against the forces that would render it barren.
-Preserve Your Own Life. Delight in love and laughter, in song and art. If you allow the joy to die in your own heart, you can't preserve it in the world.
-Be Life. Be a glorious beacon for all who live in despair. Let your joy and courage shine forth in all your deeds.
Oath of the Ancients is a full Paladin Overhaul. All unique Gladiator and Paladin abilities, Limit Break 3, UI, and HUD have been edited. Of particular note, the Limit Break, Passage of Arms, Confiteor, Blade of Faith, Blade of Truth, and Blade of Valor have been edited with voice over lines available in multiple languages. Furthermore, Aettir, Priwen, and the Pray Emote were also given edits.

Update 1.1 - Added more options for the Aettir Lux. You can now choose to represent one deity instead of having them randomized. Also added a light option with no symbols. The LB3 has been updated as well to add the textures of The Twelve, so now the models are fully textured.
Update 1.1 Video Demonstration: https://youtu.be/WTmkHGbW44I
Update 1.2 - Dawntrail Update - The most notable change is that the Confiteor rotation now has the models and textures of The Twelve themselves in their VFX, so now you're basically summoning them for their attacks! Same with the LB3. Also added edits for Guadian, Imperator, Blade of Honor, and the new Atonement rotation. Some icons have also been edited. More will be edited in the future.
note: The mod uses Lua conditions. This means the models, voiceover lines, and screenshakes only play for the caster. A less intense intense version of the Confiteor rotation and LB3 plays for those you are linked to via Mare.
