Channel Divinity

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.

Ascend and Soar. You can use your Channel Divinity to invoke the aerial prowess of a dragon. As a bonus action, you manifest spectral draconic wings upon your back. These wings last for one minute, but can be dismissed early as a bonus action. As long as these wings remain, you have a flight speed equal to your walking speed.

Turn the Nemesis. You can use your Channel Divinity to utter ancient words that are painful for the enemies of dragon's to hear. As an action, you present your holy symbol, and each giant, monstrosity, or fiend within 30 ft. of you that can hear you must make a WIS saving throw. On failure, the creature is turned for 1 minute or until it takes damage.

A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can’t take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.
