Together they represent different sides of justice, duty, and sacrifice. - As someone who was raised around paladins, I understand why Torm appeals to them. There is comfort in believing that duty is clear, that an oath gives direction, and that remaining loyal to it is enough to know what comes next. - My own relationship with oaths became considerably more complicated after I broke mine. I still believe that promises should matter, but I no longer believe that keeping an oath simply because it was sworn automatically makes the path righteous.
