Oath of the Corrupted

Paladins of this order are often feared greatly, known most commonly as "Devil-Blooded Knights". Their unique power comes from the negative plain of energy, be it that they were the sacrificial victim of an infernal ritual, or that they have an incredibly strong infernal bloodline. Most commonly, these paladins are the servants of evil and dark gods, albeit unwilling servants. Sometimes, however, they will serve a righteous order of knights, hunting down and destroying the wicked.

Tenets of the Corrupted

Sobriety There is a dark power that resides within you, you must not indulge those darker desires.

Humanity Do not consider yourself a monster or abomination. You must always hold onto your humanity.

Understanding Your plight must be a constant reminder. Be kind to those who have fallen from grace and help them return to the light.

Resolve The darkness within your soul is only contested by the light that also resides within. Even in the darkest of times, it must be the light that shines through.
