Defender's Oath/History is a story event. A loyalty character joins you at the start, and progressing through the story unlocks free quests and bosses. The November 2016 iteration of this event is the first to implement the "Renewal" format for old, reissued events. Boss battles, which used to be raid battles, are now solo-only. These boss battles are found in Special quests under the Event tab, and no items are required to summon them. Instead of the Draw Token system, there is now a shop to exchange items for items dropped from these battles.
This event is part one of the Four Knights story arc. Part two is Four Knights of a Fallen Land. Part three is Between Frost and Flame.
There was once a land blessed by a primal beast.
Until one day a great dragon awakens and swallows the primal beast.
Brave knights rush to save it from the dragon's clutches.
But before long the entire kingdom becomes entangled in a far greater conspiracy.
For new players
Make sure you complete all the quests, since each chapter, free quest, and raid boss awards 50 
If you have AP potions to spare, 
The event's SSR weapon, Balmung, is not good and should be used for skill fodder. But if you are a brand new player and your main element is Fire, at least one Fire copy of the sword is helpful to have around as a main weapon since SSR Fire swords are scarce outside of Premium Draws and events.
