The Oath of the Ruby Rose calls to those paladins who would wish to add more beauty and love to the world. They value love and beauty above all, though they aren't afraid to get their hands dirty if the situation calls for it. Paladins of this order are generally neutral good or chaotic good in alignment, though anything besides evil alignments aren't unheard of. They see kindness as beautiful, and see evil as a hideous stain upon the world. 

For example, members of Sune’s order of paladins, the Sisters and Brothers of the Ruby Rose, are known for their charm, beauty, and aversion to ugliness and evil. They use the power of love to destroy evil and hideous things, and they draw strength from their many romances. Members of this order are given to writing essays and songs of courtly love when not engaged in vital business, and often adopt a beautiful individual to adore from afar whether that individual would be flattered by such attentions or not.

 

TENETS OF THE RUBY ROSE

The tenets of the Oath of the Ruby Rose emphasizes; beauty, which is more than just skin deep; romance, as true love conquers all; and friendship, where love cannot or dares not. Its four central principles are simple.

Dress Appropriately. Keep your own body as comely as possible and as attractively displayed as situations warrant. Let hairstyle and clothing best suit your personal appearance, striving to stir and delight others who look upon you. Moreover, hide not away, but always seek to present yourself to those around you in a pleasing variety of garbs and activities so as to move them with love and desire.

Be Kind. Beauty is more than skin deep. It issues from the core of one's being and reveals one's true face to the world, fair or foul. Encourage beauty wherever you find it. Acquire beautiful items of all sorts, and encourage, sponsor, and protect those who create them.

Follow your Heart. Believe in romance, as true love will win over all. Follow your heart to your true destination. Love none more than yourself except the gods, and lose yourself in love of the your deity.

Friendship. Perform a loving act each day, and seek to awaken love in others. Respond to love at least once in a day. Love those who respond to your appearance, and let warm friendship and admiration flower where love cannot or dares not.
