Oath of Beauty

The oath of Beauty is a solemn promise to protect beauty at all costs. The beauty a Paladin chooses to protect can be any beauty: the beauty of nature, the beauty of a loved one, the beauty that nobody else considers beautiful, or their own beauty, to name a few. Paladins of Beauty aim to protect what they find beautiful from the ugly, graceless forces of the outside world. Those that swear this oath become staunch, deeply passionate defenders of what they call their Muses, that or those which they admire most. Contrary to many other oaths, the Oath of Beauty encourages those that swear by it to throw themselves into the arms of their passions, to feel every feeling unashamedly and courageously. Objectivity and cold hard logic hold little to no meaning to a Paladin of Beauty. It is subjectivity, passion, admiration, and love that drives them. A Paladin of Beauty's most powerful weapon is not their sword, but their rejection of society's insistence on remaining unemotional and impersonal, because when wielded dexterously, it can inspire a crowd, a city, a country, or the entire world.

The Paladin of Beauty has been conceived as a defender and a tank. While other oaths are all about the Paladin themselves and killing other creatures, the Oath of Beauty is all about protecting and bolstering your allies.

Tenets of Beauty

The tenets of the Oath of Beauty vary by the Muse that the Paladin chooses, but all the tenets revolve around defending Beauty at all costs. Paladins who have sworn this oath will go to any lengths to protect their Muse, even if it means going against what they consider just or right. The principles that rule over their Tenets are ruled by emotion.

• A Shield for the Beautiful. I am and always will be my Muse's shield. No harm may come to what I consider beautiful as long as I breathe.
• Beauty Must Conquer. I vow to make every place I pass more beautiful than when I encountered it.
• Passion is Paramount. No decision is truer than the one made from the heart. I will trust what I feel is right and won't let my Passions' screams fall on deaf ears.
• Strive for Beauty. I'm not only Beauty's protector, I'm also its wilder. I will strive to make myself as beautiful as what I'm sworn to protect.
• There's Beauty in Difference. What I find beautiful may not be the same that others find beautiful. So long as one is driven by pure admiration for a muse, they are my friend and my ally.
