Symbol/Flag of the Silver OathThe Silver Oath is not perse a guild, but more a movement, gathering or community that follows the ways of
the Eulonith belief. The Eulonith is a polytheistic belief and in the Silver Oath is dedicated to primary the older gods, such as Baldr, Odin or Tyr. They are not aggressive clerics, yet they are more community helpers, they work mostly in poor areas and their church is mostly found there. The Silver Oath is a big player in the religions and is found in more than one country in the world of Exonia. Their main HQ is found in the human kingdom of Flaystein, in the capital city of Murkfall, the Bishop of the Silver Oath is Rudolph Amos Winterman. In the city of Alderworth the head priestess is Chloe Philomena Thatcher.
Priestess Thatcher is known to be a kind woman that is mostly found in the city with her at least two clerics following her. Thought the Viscountess prizes her safety greatly and therefore she lives in the North Creolluc district under the protection of the Order of Tyr. Thatcher advises the Viscountess on any religious matters or religion news that comes from the Exonia lands. Yet she doesn't hold any formal position in the Viscountess staff.
The ChurchThe Sanctuary Of Ither, is the church that is located in the heart of Drirrilf Hill, the poorest district of Alderworth. The church is not the average look how one would figure it would look, no bells or tower. No, just a large three leveled high building that is supported by pillars and the flag hanging in front of it from the Silver Oath. The people make use of this location to pray for good fortune, for good wishes or other prayers that the people need. It also functions as a community center, a place for the homeless to get food, shelter or something else. Unknown to the public, or even to the church, is that Shadowshapers Guild protects this place.

Membership CriteriaTo become a cleric to the Silver Oath is not a must, thought the Silver Oath has a large influence in many villages, cities, and countries. Therefore the advantages you gain from this are mainly having a great network that will support you. Thought a demand for joining this organization would be the pure dedication to the Eulonith ways. Another belief is not acceptable for the Silver Oath, yet you would not be punished that you believe something else, or if you start believing another belief while in service of the Silver Oath. You will just gain no longer access to the organization. Benefits would be, as said earlier, the large network that provides you free shelter, food and a place to put your prayers in to recharge your magical powers.
