Oath of The Dead

The Oath of The Dead binds a paladin to the afterlife . Sometimes called Black knights, or warriors of the dead, these paladins meet the ideal of the Grim Reaper. They hold themselves to bringing evildoers to their godly masters for judgement. Many who swear this oath are devoted to gods of Death and are usually  neutral.
