Scholars, mages, and followers of the gods of knowledge and magic are likely candidates to take the Oath of Wands. Dedicated to the practice and preservation of arcane and holy magical practices, these paladins are the guardians of libraries and schools.
Paladins of the Oath of Wands were common in the Arcane Expanse and its neighboring regions. After the Rebellion and the Nights of Burning Books, there were few paladins of this oath left. Those who survived either followed Aetheria or Kydar, or they lived in hiding alongside the others being persecuted and hunted during those times. Now, as organizations that protect Arcanists and magic appear, paladins of this oath are beginning to increase their number once more.
