Oh, I don't know a thing about knights where you're from. But I have heard of some truly ridiculous paladins in my time.

[ oaths sound exhausting. just get good with a knife and rely on yourself - astarion, circa 1k492 ]

Religion does seem to be a big thing though. Or some kind of faith.

[flameguard]

... right... What kind of ridiculous?

[ he will just trust astarion's lived experience on that one ]

I guess so. It's kind of nice when our worlds have things like that in common...

[haematocritical]

They make oaths for their power or something like that. If they break them then-- [ he makes a little popping motion with his hands ]-- oh dear. No more oath. No more powers. Not until you fix the oath or something like that.

Exhausting, really.

[flameguard]

...then...they shouldn't... break them?

[ spoken like a true lawful good ]

[haematocritical]

I believe they're notoriously picky. Or can seem that way. But, I'm not a paladin so I can't tell you all the details.

[flameguard]

I guess so... I can't imagine breaking my covenant to the Flame.

[ he reaches up and touches his own heart, absently. couldn't be rondo! ]

But, I don't think taking an oath in something you truly believe in is that ridiculous...

[haematocritical]

Depends on the person, I would say. Why put such strict limitations on yourself when you could simply figure out another way to gain power?

[ when a good and pure heart means a bitter cynic. ]
