 "With Dovaros as my guide, I pledge to be the unyielding shield that stands between the innocent and harm. I shall defend the weak, protect the vulnerable, and uphold justice with every strike of my blade and every step I take in battle. My strength shall be a beacon of hope to those who cannot protect themselves, and I will face any foe, no matter the odds, with the courage and valor that Dovaros imparts upon me."

With sword and shield, I will protect the innocent and punish the guilty, ensuring that justice prevails in every corner of Arandor."

+===The Silver Bough ===
 The Silver Bough is a revered and ancient group in the Kingdom of Arandor, embodying unity, friendship, and the enduring bonds between the Elves and their allies. It represents a bridge between Arandor and other realms, signifying mutual respect, honor, and collaboration. The Silver Bough is more than just a title; it's a sacred acknowledgment of trust and kinship extended to individuals, including Dwarves, Humans, and even Orcs, who have shown exceptional loyalty to the Elven kingdom.
 '''''I stand before the Elves of Arandor, with open heart and steadfast spirit, to pledge my loyalty and friendship. Though I am not of your kin nor sworn to an Order, I vow to honor the bonds between us, to respect the wisdom of your realm, and to uphold the peace and balance you cherish. I shall carry the grace of the Silver Bough with pride, a symbol of unity between our peoples. By my word, I will stand with Arandor, now and in the days to come, as a true Companion of the Silver Bough.'''''
