Paladin
Base Class: Paladin

You have vowed your life to artifice, bonding your soul to The Bloodforge through a sacred oath. Through this oath you will learn how to channel your divine powers into wondrous devices and bring your body to nigh unstoppable strength. Though taking this oath comes with great sacrifice.

Followers of the Puppets oath follow these tenets;

Forgive: all actions can be atoned for, there is no justice or salvation in one's deeds lest they not forgive themselves.

Forget: who you are is secondary to victory, surrender the self and take the strings.

Foretell: Fear not the dangers of battle, follow intuition, faith and fellowship will guide you to victory.

Forego: The flesh is temporary, cut the ties that bind you to the mortal form. Become better through change.
