Wadjet
The Green Empress
PFS Legal
Pantheon
The serpent cult of the benevolent Wadjet is a twin to the cult of the deceiver Apep. Wadjet, a great river serpent said to dwell in the papyrus marshes of the River Sphinx delta, is a tutelary deity and mother of her emissaries, the uraeuses. Wadjet is the nurturer of the River Sphinx and a personification of the spirits guiding and guarding the ruler of Osirion. The rod of the uraeus is a magic item fashioned in the form of a uraeus-headed staff, which assists in the detection of deceit and can create a spray of stinging poison.

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. - Realms

Paladin Code
Paladins of Wadjet are stoic yet gentle defenders of the people, devoted especially to those living near rivers and other bodies of water. They are relentless in their crusade against Apep, the evil god of snakes and darkness. Their tenets include the following affirmations.- The just and innocent are my wards. I will keep them safe and protected from evil to my last breath.
- There are those who cannot travel to find what they need. If I find myself lacking in just actions, I will journey and find those who need my help.
- I will offer my services to explorers, traders, and travelers who are unable to defend themselves. Their journeys aid us all.
- I never turn away those that seek my counsel. If I cannot aid, I will find one who can.
- Apep and his minions seek to destroy others. I am the only one who stands against his will. When I can, I will journey to cleanse his presence in this world.
- Water is life. I must protect the rivers and waters to keep them safe and pure for all, as even the pharaoh thirsts.
