Oath of the Storm

Paladins of the Storm are often on the move, constantly traveling from place to place wherever evil is seen. As chaotic and turbulent as the typhoons they embody, they will do anything they must to ensure evil is defeated. Often worshipping gods such as Kord and Talos, these tempestuous knights are a violent force of nature.

 

Tenets of the Storm

Control Through Chaos. Paladins of the Storm must be willing to achieve order through any means.

Swift as the Lightning. A Storm Paladin’s judgement must be quick, and his reaction quicker.

Loud as the Thunder. When all others would be silenced, a Storm Paladin’s voice must be heard by all, to be the voice of the voiceless.
