Oath of Thunder

Of all the servants of Thundurus, paladins sworn to the Oath of Thunder are his spears and arrows made flesh. Even those who don’t venerate Thundurus recognize and honor paladins sworn to his service. Often referred to as Valkyries, paladins of this oath are almost exclusively men. They are a major force within the worder. Shieldmaidens of the dwarven cantons and centaur outriders also number among its adherents.

Paladins sworn to Thunder are even more reserved and humble in daily life than other paladins. That veneer splits like a thunderclap in battle, where they erupt as vicious hellions. Indeed, thundering paladins love to strike “thunder-wise,” meaning suddenly and with surprise, appearing like a bolt of lightning in their enemies’ midst before those enemies know what hit them. Paladins who follow the Oath of Thunder are most often devoted to the cause of good but care little about the struggle between law and chaos.
