===Lyran City Guard Preamble===

Guard Creed- Always ready

We the dreamers of the City Guard, are committed to defending the city from any and all threats and to assisting new dreamers as they enter the dream.

In upholding our mission we are driven:
To protect Underlight from the force of Chaos
To help prevent our generation and those to come from the destruction of war
To restore the City to its previous strength and glory perhaps even to improve it
to insure the continuing social progress of the City
To accomplish these goals, we vow:
To unite our strength to maintain peace and security
To spread acceptance and tolerance through example
To evoke our arts for the benefit of other dreamers and the City
To share the power of our knowledge with the newly and recently awakened, in the hopes that they too, will use it in the service of Underlight.
