The Oath of Tyranny is taken by those who seek absolute control over others. These Holy Crusaders impose their will upon the weak, ruling with fear and force to maintain their dominance.
Power is Everything: The strong rule, and the weak must obey.
Crush the Rebellious: Dissent cannot be tolerated; all must fall in line.
Rule with an Iron Fist: Mercy is weakness. Control is strength.
