Oath of the Hidden

"Our faith lies with those gods unbeknownst to many mortal beings, but are far from Hidden." 

The Oath of the Hidden is a secret commitment to a lesser known Deity. There are few true sanctuaries for those faithful to the Hidden Beings, but only the ones you create. You may not be keen to to share your faith, but you understand the darkness that can befall the mortal realm if others are allowed to pursue their own deceitful agendas. You seek to follow the compass and will of your Deity, striking down those that oppose you and aiding those that fight along side you.
