Oath of The Flagellant

During times of great suffering, many of the less fortunate try to appease the heavens above so that they may be granted reprieve from the cruelties of the world. Such attempts often involve things as minor as humble prayers and small offerings, however desperation is an eternally wretched force, it’s influence sometimes bringing even the most stable of minds into the depths of blind madness and carnal revelry. This collapse into lunacy leads to those whose minds twisted by agony to let go of any form of self preservation, them shedding any form of sanctuary so that they may receive their bloody reprieve.

Tenents of The Oath:

Atone for the Many: Suffer your self imposed brutality so that the sins of all peoples can be redeemed.

Reject Sanctuary: Your blood and sinew are your offerings to the heavens above, reject all things that would interfere with your offerings, whether it be a simple roof over your head to a set of mail and shield.

Embrace the End: Injury and depravity are your tools to bring salvation, embrace all that would spill your blood with open arms.
