  • Act with subtlety until it is time to strike. Just as other deities' Paladins are shining symbols of their faith, you are a symbol of shadows. Act as such.

  • There is no shame in madness, and so I do not make madness shameful by imposing it on my enemies as a punishment. Though darkness and attacks on the mind are tools I may use to vanquish the unjust, my actions will never force lasting insanity upon my foes.

  •   Winlas - The Elder of Divinity
    Wiki
    Pantheon: Empyreal Lords
    Areas of Concern: Ceremonies, religiousness, service
    Domains: Good, Knowledge, Law, Protection
    Favored Weapon: Heavy mace
    Paladin Code:
  • Religion is the most important connection possible between mortals and The Divine. Treat all religions with respect.
  • Religion creates a powerful force in the world and is the main way to tap onto the tremendous power of Divine Magic. Never underestimate how dangerous it can be.
  • Religion creates relationships, good and evil, and there is strength in numbers. Protect gatherings of the innocent, and disband congregations of Evil.
  • Religion teaches perfection; by being thorough in your research and exact in your actions, you ensure that you are less likely to make mistakes. Commit to your choices, and do them correctly the first time ("Measure Twice, Cut Once").
  • Religion teaches that knowledge is power; the more you know about various forms of power, the better you can aid beneficial rites or protect against vile ones. Know your enemy well, and know where they derive their power from.
