Oath of the Wolf

The Oath of the Wolf is only sworn by very few, these few make a solemn commitment to bring balance to the world. Sometimes called Wolf Knights or Moon Knights, those who swear this oath reset good or evil back to a weaker state when one is growing too powerful. These oaths are sworn to the Wolf of the Moon, Rin.

Some of these paladins will go to lengths that no other sort of oath will go, to bring balance. These paladins are known to want overwhelming power to do what they think is right, they will hunt down cursed patrons to make deals for their souls for power, challenge the gods to duels, so they can harness their powers. More often than not these paladins that yearn for power usually are overwhelmed and become oath broken. The Oath broken of the Wolf is often hunted by other Wolf Knights or Moon Knights, who believe they have traveled to far into the darkness to be able to be brought back to the light.

Tenets of the Wolf

A paladin who takes this oath has the tenets of the Wolf seared on their back.

Balance through Violence. Balance is not possible in a peaceful way, you must tear through those who are throwing the world out of balance.

Balance through Peace. Those who are bringing the world to an unbalance should be talked to and convinced, violence is a last resort but if it must be done, it will.
