Oath of Broken Chains

The Oath of the Broken Chains are paladins who fight for the freedom of all beings. Paladins of this oath believe that no creature should be granted control over another, be it through slavery, magical manipulation, or summoning. They seek out injustice and stomp it out by any means to prevent the wicked from continuing the cycle of oppression. For many, these paladins are a heroic rebel group, while to others, they are a terrorist organization who murders those who oppose them.
