Oath of Death

Holy Crusaders of the Oath of Death serve as harbingers of the grave. They do not see death as evil, but rather as a natural cycle. Their role is to ensure that the balance of life and death is maintained, striking down those who defy fate.

Tenets of Death

Embrace the Cycle: Death is not the end, but a part of existence. Accept it and enforce it.

Honor the Dead: Let no soul linger in undeath.

Strike Down the Defiant: Those who defy death must be brought to judgment.
