+    acting with honor in pursuit o f justice and the greater good. They hold
+    themselves to the highest standards of conduct, and some, for better or
+    worse, hold the rest of the world to the same standards. Many who swear
+    this oath are devoted to gods of law and good and use their gods’ tenets as
+    the measure o f their devotion. They hold angels—the perfect servants o f
+    good—as their ideals, and incorporate images of angelic wings into their
+    helmets or coats of arms.
+
+    **Tenets of Devotion**: Though the exact words and strictures of the Oath
+    of Devotion vary, paladins of this oath share these tenets.
+
+    --Honesty. Don’t lie or cheat. Let your word be your promise.
+
+    --Courage. Never fear to act, though caution is wise.
+
+    --Compassion. Aid others, protect the weak, and punish those who threaten
+    them. Show mercy to your foes, but temper it with wisdom.
+
+    --Honor. Treat others with fairness, and let your honorable deeds be an
+    example to them. Do as much good as possible while causing the least amount
+    of harm.
+
+    --Duty. Be responsible for your actions and their consequences, protect
+    those entrusted to your care, and obey those who have just authority over
+    you.

+    paladins who swear this oath cast their lot with the side of the light in
+    the cosm ic struggle against darkness because they love the beautiful and
+    life-giving things of the world, not necessarily because they believe in

+    reflect their commitment to preserving life and light in the world. 
+
+    **Tenets of the Ancients**: The tenets of the Oath of the Ancients have
+      been preserved for uncounted centuries. This oath emphasizes the
+      principles of good above any concerns of law or chaos. Its four central
+      principles are simple.
+
+    --Kindle the Light. Through your acts of mercy, kindness, and forgiveness,
+    kindle the light of hope in the world, beating back despair.
+
+    --Shelter the Light. Where there is good, beauty, love, and laughter in the
+    world, stand against the w ickedness that would swallow it. Where life
+    flourishes, stand against the forces that would render it barren.
+
+    --Preserve Your Own Light. Delight in song and laughter, in beauty and
+    art. If you allow the light to die in your own heart, you can’t preserve it
+    in the world.
+
+    --Be the Light. Be a glorious beacon for all who live in despair. Let the
+    light of your joy and courage shine forth in all your deeds.

 class OathOfVengance(SubClass):

+    guild grows too violent and powerful, when a dragon rampages through the
+    countryside—at times like these, paladins arise and swear an Oath of
+    Vengeance to set right that which has gone wrong. To these paladins—
+    sometimes called avengers or dark knights—their own purity is not as
+    important as delivering justice.
+
+    **Tenets of Vengance**: The tenets of the Oath of Vengeance vary by
+    paladin, but all the tenets revolve around punishing wrongdoers by any
+    means necessary. Paladins who uphold these tenets are willing to sacrifice
+    even their own righteousness to mete out justice upon those who do evil, so
+    the paladins are often neutral or lawful neutral in alignment. The core
+    principles of the tenets are brutally simple.
+
+    --Fight the Greater Evil. Faced with a choice of fighting my sworn foes or
+    combating a lesser evil. I choose the greater evil.
+
+    --No Mercy for the Wicked. Ordinary foes might win my mercy, but my sworn
+    enemies do not.
+
+    --By Any Means Necessary. My qualms can’t get in the way of exterminating
+    my foes.
+
+    --Restitution. If my foes wreak ruin on the world, it is because I failed
+    to stop them. I must help those harmed by their misdeeds.

+    chaotic tides of barbarism that threaten to tear down all that
+    civilization has built, and are commonly known as guardians, exemplars,
+    or sentinels. Often, paladins who swear this oath are members of an order
+    of knighthood in service to a nation or a sovereign, and undergo their oath
+    as part of their admission to the order's ranks.
+
+    **Tenets of the Crown**: The tenets of the Oath of the Crown are often set
+    by the sovereign to which their oath is sworn, but generally emphasize
+    the following tenets.
+
+    --Law. The law is paramount. It is the mortar that holds the stones of
+    civilization together, and it must be respected.
+
+    --Loyalty. Your word is your bond. Without loyalty, oaths and laws are
+    meaningless.
+
+    --Courage. You must be willing to do what needs to be done for the sake of
+    order, even in the face of overwhelming odds. If you don't act, then who
+    will?
+
+    --Responsibility. You must deal with the consequences of your actions, and
+    you are responsible for fulfilling your duties and obligations.

+    knight ty- rants or iron mongers, those who swear this oath gather into
+    grim orders that serve gods or philosophies of war and well-ordered might.
+
+    Some of these paladins go so far as to consort with the powers of the Nine
+    Hells, valuing the rule of law over the balm of mercy. The archdevil Bel,
+    warlord of Avernus, counts many of these paladins—called hell knights—as
+    his most ardent supporters. Hell knights cover their armor with trophies
+    taken from fallen en— emies, a grim~warning to any who dare oppose them and

+    by other paladins of this oath, who believe that the hell knights have
+    wandered too far into darkness.
+
+    **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 over- whelming
+    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

 class OathOfRedemption(SubClass):

+    themselves to this oath believe that any person can be redeemed and that
+    the path of benevolence and justice is one that anyone can walk. These
+    paladins face evil creatures in the hope of turning their foes to the
+    light, and they slay their enemies only when such a deed will clearly save
+    other lives. Paladins who follow this path are known as redeemers.
+
+    While redeemers are idealists, they are no fools. Re— deemers know that
+    undead, demons, devils, and other supernatural threats can be inherently
+    evil. Against such fees, paladins who swear this oath bring the full wrath
+    of their weapons and spells to bear. Yet the re- deemers still pray that,
+    one day, even creatures of wick- edness will invite their own redemption.
+
+    **Tenets of Redemption**: The tenets of the Oath of Redemption hold a
+    paladin to a high standard of peace and justice.
+
+    --Peace. Violence is a weapon of last resort. Diplomacy and understanding
+    are the paths to long-lasting peace.
+
+    --Innocence. All people begin life in an innocent state, and it is their
+    environment or the influence of dark forces that drives them to evil. By
+    setting the proper example, and working to heal the wounds of a deeply
+    flawed world, you can set anyone on a righteous path.
+
+    --Patience. Change takes time. Those who have walked the path of the wicked
+    must be given reminders to keep them honest and true. Once you have planted
+    the seed of righteousness in a creature, you must work day after day to
+    allow that seed to survive and flourish.
+
+    --Wisdom. Your heart and mind must stay clear, for eventually you will be
+    forced to admit defeat. While ev- ery creature can be redeemed, some are so
+    far along the path of evil that you have no choice but to end their lives
+    for the greater good. Any such action must be carefully weighed and the
+    consequences fully understood, but once you have made the decision, follow
+    through with it knowing your path is just.
