Oath of Secrecy

Some Paladins are made to serve as shining examples for the common folk and inspire others to take on noble tasks. Some are sworn to obscurity in order to protect the common folk from a great threat.

 

Oath of Secrecy Paladins give their lives in order to keep a great secret, ones that would only cause distruction if ever revealed to the world. Secrecy Paladins often serve gods of power and magic like Azulth, the Moonweaver, Sune, or the Raven Queen. Often mistaken for Blackguards by the similarity of their nature and tactics these guardians employ every deceptive and intimidating tactic in the book to protect their secrets. It would not be unheard of for an Order of Secrecy Paladins to engage in elaborate conspiracies if necessary.

 

The secret could be the location of a powerful cursed magic item, the phylactory of a Lich, or a portal to the Nine Hells long sealed by the Gods. They will stop at nothing to protect the secret, even if it meant giving up their own lives.
