Oath of the Stormbringer

Paladins that choose to follow and become a Stormbringer feel that power of the elements are the only way to seek justice. Many of the paladins of this order seek to spend time with Storm Giants and or storm elemental's. They choose to rule over the common people with an iron fist and pursue fear to keep them on the proper path of righteousness. Breaking the wills of people or causing terror is something that is normalized with in this order. 

This Oath compels their followers to surround your self with wise and socialized individuals. The paladins often cherish Strength like the Giants they idolize, as the strong are the only ones to inherit the world and those that are weaker than you must following in line with your ideals or be forced to understand how the nature of the world works. Many of the paladins that follow this are either Chaotic or lawful depending on how they interpret the tenets. 

 

Tenets of the Stormbringers

Change. As new life grows abundant from the ashes of a single spark, so should it be allowed to spark 

Rage. The storm is unpredictable and unconscionable, those that do not bend to your will, shall feel your wrath.

Spontaneity. Fools struggle against forces they can not control , the storm will take you where you need to be do not be the fool.
