== TENETS ==
Tenets of the Paladin of Auriel

Protect the Light. Destroy Daedra and undead—darkness must not stand.

Stand with Allies. Never abandon those who fight beside you.

Engage with Purpose. Fight only when your cause is just and your strength enough.

Offer Redemption. Even the fallen deserve a chance to return to the light.

Judge Justly. Let fairness and honor guide every strike.

=== Views of Factions ===
Dawnguard
"Their mission is righteous. I will lend them my strength in the war against the undead. Their cause aligns with my own: to purge the foul corruption of vampirism and protect the light of life."

Volkihar Vampires
"They are a perversion of the natural order. I will not parley, I will not pity. The undead are an affront to Auriel’s design, and I shall see them cleansed from the world."

Companions
"Their traditions hold honor, but their curse is a stain. I will aid them if they seek redemption, but I will never embrace the beast within. Lycanthropy is a corruption, no different than undeath—it must be cast out, not celebrated."

College of Winterhold
"Magic is a force that must be respected and guarded. I will observe carefully, and ensure its use does not lead to darkness. Power without discipline is a path I will not ignore."

Thieves Guild
"They are parasites feeding on the misfortune of others. I will not suffer their selfishness and greed to thrive. Where their shadows spread, I will bring light. They must be dismantled, root and branch."

Dark Brotherhood
"They worship the Void and profane life; there is no pardon for those who serve Sithis."

Blades
"I respect their purpose and will work with them while our goals align. But I serve Auriel’s light first—not mortal grudges."

Greybeards
"They live in quiet devotion to the Voice and the mountain. Though they are passive, their wisdom runs deep. I will honor their peace, and I will protect their solitude.

Imperial Legion
"The Empire seeks order, and I value order. But they compromise too easily. I will work with them if it serves balance—but I will not serve any crown that bows to mortal ambition or false gods."

Stormcloaks
"Their cause is tainted by pride and heresy. Talos is not divine. I cannot fight for a rebellion that elevates man above the gods. I will not raise my blade for their vision of Skyrim."

Thalmor / Aldmeri Dominion
"They claim Auriel’s light as their own, yet their hearts are shadowed by tyranny and blinded by supremacist pride. Though born from the same ancient lineage, their corruption is a betrayal of our sacred heritage. I vow to oppose their arrogance and falsehoods wherever they threaten the true legacy of our people and the sacred balance Auriel commands."

Forsworn:
"Their pain is real, but their cruelty defiles Auriel’s light. I must oppose them to protect the land."

The Betrayed
"Once noble and honorable, now consumed by the flames of vengeance. I hold a sorrowful pity for their lost grace, yet I cannot allow their wrath to run unchecked—it threatens to undo all that is sacred."

About being Dragonborn:
"Auriel’s light has chosen me to walk a path few can bear—the Dragonborn, a bridge between mortals and dragons. With this gift, I carry the weight of Skyrim’s fate, sworn to uphold justice and bring light to shadowed corners."
