Oath of the Tavern

The Oath of the Tavern demands respect for perhaps the most vital party of a hero's journey, the places where they sleep. Those that follow this path understand that to protect others is to provide for them and those that would disturb the peace of others should be dealt with swiftly and effectively. These paladins are sworn to forever improve not just their martial abilities but their culinary and conversational skills as well, to be a shoulder for the weary to lean on and make sure that everyone they meet leaves feeling better than when they met.
