Oath of the Liar

Uphold the Ideals of Mercy Through Deception

The Oath of the Liar binds Paladins to the belief that truth is not sacred—people are. These Paladins understand that honesty, while noble, can also be cruel, reckless, or dangerous. They wear lies like armor and wield deception like a shield, misleading tyrants, deceiving monsters, and manipulating evil so others may live free.To them, morality is measured by outcomes rather than appearances. A promise broken to a king may save a village. A false confession may protect the innocent. A hidden truth may spare despair. These Paladins often appear charming, elusive, or morally gray to outsiders, yet beneath the deception lies unwavering conviction.Many who swear this oath become folk heroes, spies, smugglers of the oppressed, masked rebels, or wandering knights who rob greed to feed suffering. Some are champions of trickster gods, while others simply believe that justice without compassion is tyranny.

These Paladins share the following tenets:

• Let the Lie Serve the Good. Speak falsely if truth would bring needless suffering, cruelty, or oppression.
• Wear No Crown of Virtue. Have the courage to be hated, or called dishonorable. Let deeds matter more than reputation.
• Mercy Above Pride. If deception saves lives, abandon pride and speak the necessary falsehood.
