Oath of Death

A woman stands at the foot of a battlefield. Her eyes scan the horizon, and she turns to look at the rotting corpse before her. Anger flairs in her eyes, and the icy aura she emits intensifies. She has to know who did this. She has to know who broke the natutal order here. She reaches down, and yanks the corpse's spirit back into it's body. Time to get some answers.

Those who make an Oath of Death swear to uphold the natural order. They wander about, seeking to ensure that the world does not devolve into chaos and insanity. It is their duty to ensure that the lives of the people is not interrupted, and that, should they die; they will reach their intended afterlife.

Tenets:

Pass The Torch. Ease the passing of souls into the afterlife, and honor the memory of others.

Help Creation. Protect those who cannot yet fight for themselves, and those who are helping to nurse a new being.

Kill the Breathless. Lead those who have been denied death into the next stage of their existence. 

Bear Fruits. Celebrate life with others, and aid the next generation.

Additionally, all enemies within the Bifrost storm must make a Constitution saving throw at the beginning of the next three subsequent turns. 

If an enemy fails the first saving throw, their speed becomes 0 as Bifröst coats their legs, anchoring them in their position. On a success, the creature's speed is halved.
