Tenets of Darkness

The Paladin who takes this oath has the following tenets branded into their very soul.

Slay. All creatures that stand in my way will meet death.

Save. I will sacrifice my very soul to protect the weak from tyrants and monstrosities.

Serve. Regardless of the danger, my resolve is as strong as the darkness that empowers me.

Slave. No matter the cost. No matter the pain. No matter the agony. I am bound by my oath as a warrior of darkness to know no death, for even in death we fight.
