Some break their Oath and fall into evil, becoming Blackguards, but not all who falter become paragons of evil. These paladins are known as the Oathless, those who abandon their divinely appointed cause. They wander the wilds as lost warriors, often becoming bandits and mercenaries. Some quest for purpose, some turn evil and use their power to dominate others, while others fall into despair.<br> | ||
An Oathless paladin owes allegiance to no one. They hold to no tenets and are loyal to nothing but themselves. Oathless paladins are often selfish, with their own safety and power being their only concern. These lost warriors won't hesitate to obtain what they desire, even at the expense of others. | An Oathless paladin owes allegiance to no one.
