Oath of Scorched Earth

The Oath of Scorched Earth is a solemn commitment to burn out corruption wherever it takes root. When the blight of evil infests a forest, a city, or even a kingdom: Paladins who swear
this Oath arise to reduce their world to ash. For Paladins of the Scorched Earth understand that the cleansing of evil must be complete, lest it grow new roots. Only then, can new
life grow from the ashes.

TENETS OF SCORCHED EARTH

A Paladin who takes this oath has the tenets of Scorched Earth seared into the weapons and armor they carry.

Cleanse with Flame Corruption must be burned out at its source. If allowed to spread, the treatment may become more harmful than the disease

No Mercy for the Corrupt The flames don't mourn my enemies and neither should I.

Sacrifice I must be willing to succumb to the lames of my crusade and find salvation in the ashes.

Rebirth Cities may fall fields may burn, dynasties may die: always from the ashes something new arises. When bringing about destruction or death, plant the seeds for regrowth.
