Base Class: Paladin
The tenets are not shouted or carved in stone—they’re whispered, remembered, buried deep like coals under snow:
-
Grief Is Sacred: I carry my pain, but I do not drown in it. Let it burn slowly, steadily.
-
No More Pyres: I will not let what happened to me happen again. I will protect others—even from themselves.
-
Restraint Is Power: I strike when it is time, not when I am provoked.
-
Ash and Ice Remember: I will never forget what was lost, nor who took it.
