Tenets of Conquest
A paladin who takes this oath has the tenets of conquest seared on the upper arm.
Douse the Flame of Hope.
It is not enough to merely defeat an enemy in battle. Your victory must be so overwhelming that your enemies’ will to fight is shattered forever. A blade can end a life. Fear can end an empire.
Rule with an Iron Fist.
Once you have conquered, tolerate no dissent. Your word is law. Those who obey it shall be favored. Those who defy it shall be punished as an example to all who might follow.
Strength Above All.
You shall rule until a stronger one arises. Then you must grow mightier and meet the challenge, or fall to your own ruin.
I do enjoy a Bhaalist that is uncannily close to a Banite. In more ways than one. Also burning the tenets into ur skin? Yeah that does sound like Durge.
Do you understand why it's so vital to me? Why he just needed to be a conquest paladin? What his broken oath really means? I want to talk about what it means. Oh God. It's like a carnal need. I'm sorry I have time and I'm making it everyone else's problem again
Also also, conquest paladins have a tendency to hate other conquest paladins but especially those who sided with the nine hells. So he nd the tyrant can bond about their shared hatred for everyone associated with the hells <3 well as long as my guy doesn’t join the hells knights in Avernus for some fun himself I suppose, you never know when ur conquest paladin may betray you after all
