Oath of the Inquisition

Magic is a tool of creation that allows mortalkind to thrive. Unfortunately, dark powers use it to fuel their malevolent intents. Fortunately, there are men and women who will lay down their lives, hunt evil and rid the world of it. The paladins who take this oath are known as Inquisitors. Upon taking their oath, they swear to be a paragon of righteousness and to be absolutely ruthless to these heretics.

TENENTS OF THE INQUISITION

Be the light that burns the wicked. The world is filled with heretics and witches. Show them no mercy, for they deserve none.

Suffer not the corruption of the unclean. Never let appearence fool you. No one is safe from corruption. Some wolves hide in sheep clothing.

Always strive to be the better of yourself. The journey ahead is treacherous. Your enemies constantly evolve. So must you.

Death is the reward of the servants of darkness. Corruption is a one way journey to damnation. Redemption is not an option.
