What drives a Paladin to love horror; to love the dark and dreary; to love the monsters out there with the only thought to kill. Surely this goes against everything the Paladin stands for?

Not at all.

You see Horror is where the Paladin ideal shines. When the world is set against you, when the only certainty is your end to uphold an idea, an oath, a morality, against all that you have been subjected to... thats what being a Paladin is about.

Afterall the light shines brightest in the darkness.

Yes, exactly. Where better to apply our skills and vows in a world that needs them, against evils that need to be challenged?

Do you think oath of vengeance paladins have a struggle to hold on to their humanity? What sort of steps would they maybe take to ensure they are still people, and can still relate to other people? Very sorry if this doesn't make sense, I'm struggling to find the right words. I wanted to write about a character of mine who borrows inspiration from the oath.

I don’t really think holding onto their humanity is their problem. I used think that way, but I’ve learned from the examples of the best Avenger Paladins archetypes. It’s not they’ve lost their humanity, quite the opposite. They are often motivated not by an inquisitorial obsession to purify, but because they or others they care for have suffered in such a way that there is no restitution possible for those responsible. There is only vengeance and the balancing of the scales for justice.

And even with that in mind, the Oath of Vengeance doesn’t forget the people who are deserving of protection. There are safeguards in the tenets that remind us to not become mirrors of evil by aiding those harmed when they could not be protected. That is the difference

Will you try to love him?

Him and his tattered heart and death in his rib cage; with a name like poison. War is in his tongue. His entire body is made of collapsed stars.

Will you try to love him?

Even if it’s a thin line he walks, with a face half in the light and half in the dark. Him, with scars in his heart and holes in his back; cracks in place of skin. He is a thing of destruction.

Will you try to love him?

Him, with his nightmares during the day and demons in the dark. Atlas’s burden rests on his shoulders. He craves for light, grasping for rays in his miles of night.

Will you try to love him?

Him and his reckless love and secret pain. His is a silent grief for the sky, for the earth, for the heavens. The universe is confined in his flesh.

Will you try to love him?

Even if he clings to foolish hope and leaves prayers in your mouth. Him, with chaos for eyes and blood in his lungs. He remembers how to fall. He remembers how to burn.

Will you try to love him, the angel that fell from Heaven and then rose from Hell?

L.H.Z // Will you try to love him

I am no longer ( whole )

but, there is a L I G H T inside of me.

if i am breaking, then i will

shine through my c r a c k s.

and if i shatter on the floor,

even if my pieces cannot be reformed

at least i can be content

knowing i glowed bright enough

( if but for an instant )

to help you find your way

Hey, is there an Oath of Learning? Like, a paladin dedicated to protecting the rights of others to learn and better themselves and sworn to fight against any entity that would attempt to restrict that right. Paladins whose mission is to defend schools, speak on behalf of institutions of learning, bring education to rural areas, and fight against fiends who would promote ignorance and despots whose rule depends on the stupidity of their subjects.

I once came up with something called the Oath of Lore, but i don’t it would sync perfectly with what you’re looking for. The Teacher’s Oath perhaps might suit better as a name. Regardless, I can tell you feel very strongly about this, and encourage to construct the Oath on your own. It would come from a much more passionate place than me on the spot.
