Paladins who take the Oath of the Land are champions of good deities not usually associated with righteous crusades and the like: Agriculture or Animal Husbandry, Renewal, Plenty, or even just Nature have goals that at times need special protection. Paladins of the land are much more in touch with the common folk of the rural areas. These wanderers are champions of good who delight as much in participating in a local harvest or barn dance as they do in smiting evil.  These warriors tend to embody the virtues ascribed  somewhat stereo-typically to the common people. They value honesty, simple pleasures, frugality, and generosity. Their weapons of choice tend to reflect their agrarian roots: Flails, scythes, sickles, axes  and mattocks are common.

Oath Tenets

1. Champion of the Farmer - Without the bounty of the land, all would starve. When evil threatens, they must be defended.
2. Champion of the Land - Sometimes even those who work the land fail to care for it properly. When that happens, those responsible need to be taught, and if they refuse, then stopped.
3. Frugal to a Fault - Abundance is a gift that should neither be wasted recklessly, with no regard for the future, nor hoarded away with no regard for thers.
4. Salt of the Earth - Honest, Forthright, Optimistic, Steadfast. These are the pillars of your personality.
