Lawful GoodA lawful good character believes in honor. A code or faith that she has unshakable belief in likely guides her. She would rather die than betray that faith, and the most extreme followers of this alignment are willing (sometimes even happy) to become martyrs.
A lawful good character at the extreme end of the lawful-chaotic spectrum can seem pitiless. She may become obsessive about delivering justice, thinking nothing of dedicating herself to chasing a wicked dragon across the world or pursuing a devil into Hell. She can come across as a taskmaster, bent upon her aims without swerving, and may see others who are less committed as weak. Though she may seem austere, even harsh, she is always consistent, working from her doctrine or faith. Hers is a world of order, and she obeys superiors and finds it almost impossible to believe there’s any bad in them. She may be more easily duped by such imposters, but in the end she will see justice is done—by her own hand if necessary. - Areas of Concern

He sees good where he can, but knows evil can exist even in the most ordered place., LN
A neutral good character does anything he can, and works with anyone he can, for the greater good. Such a character is devoted to being good, and works in any way he can to achieve it. He may forgive an evil person if he thinks that person has reformed, and he believes that in everyone there is a little bit of good.Lawful NeutralA lawful neutral character admires order and tradition, or seeks to live by a code. He might fear chaos and disorder, and perhaps have good reason to do so from past experience. A lawful neutral person is not as concerned about who rules him so much as how secure he and his compatriots are, and finds great solace in the normality of society. Such a character may admire the strongest of leaders and punishments if they keep order, and he may support wars against other nations even if his own country is a brutal invader—his only concern is the rightness of the military action.
A lawful neutral character who follows his own code never breaks it willingly, and may become a martyr to defend it.

Paladin Code
Paladins of Osiris aim to defend the sanctity of both life and death, balancing service to these causes with great patience. Their tenets include the following maxims.- I will follow the word of the living pharaoh, or an equivalent ruler, so long as the pharaoh’s actions do not cause unnecessary deaths. Malevolent individuals are unfit for the throne.
- The dead are sacred beings. I will seek and punish any who attempt to defile or desecrate the dead, their possessions, or their burial sites.
- Souls cursed to not reach the afterlife must be freed. I must use my will to break the shackles of undeath.
- Life is equally sacred to death and I will defend it whenever possible. Only the gods and the will of a rightful pharaoh can stay my flail.
- Children are precious, and I will help new and expecting parents when they are in need.
