These knights are relentless in their quest, believing that only through the scorching inferno can the world be cleansed of malevolence. With fervour burning in their hearts, Oath of Scorching paladins wield the power of righteous fire, leaving naught but purified ash in the wake of their divine crusade.

TENETS OF SCORCHING

A paladin who claims the Oath of Scorching vows to rid the world of evil and ensure it shall not rise again.

Purifying Flames. The flames of justice cleanse the impurities of the world. I shall wield these flames without hesitation, incinerating the wicked and leaving no shadow for evil to hide.

Pre-emptive Vigilance. In the relentless pursuit of purity, I shall identify and confront potential sources of corruption before they bloom into malevolence. I act not out of fear, but from a profound duty to protect the innocent.

Incendiary Retribution. Those who defy the light shall face the unbridled fury of my righteous wrath. In the face of malevolent deeds, I shall be an unyielding inferno, scorching evildoers to ashes in the name of a world untainted by darkness
