Oath of the Templar

Paladins who swear The Oath of the Templar are those who, in their mind, see the world for what it truly is. They desire to use their holy powers only to cleanse the "delusion" of others and make people see the truth of life, whether good or bad. Those who follow the oath of the templar are usually either people who have been indoctrinated from cults or the like, or paladinss who used to follow a different oath but have been rendered insane or delusional from a life-changing event.

TENETS OF THE TEMPLAR.

The Tenets of the templar hold the paladin to a dangerous amount of self-delusional behavior.

Reveal. Show the denizens of this world the truth. They must know what their existence amounts to.

Never Waver. Your way of thinking is right. Others are just delusional at best, and threats at worst.

Neutralize. Correct those who are against you, they must see it your way, because yours is the truth.

Never Regret. You are on the side of right after all. What is there to regret?
