Description

Martial orders following only the edicts of their own obscure oaths, the Oathsworn are not beholden to any civil authority, interfering when, where, and as they feel that their oaths demand. While there are a great many of these Orders, there are three that are the most widespread and whom most others bear some similarity.

The Dobrinian Order takes oaths requiring its members to protect and ensure the well being of the peasantry, even if the recipients of their aid do not wish it and the Boyars oppose it. This often leads them to embrace the healing arts as well as martial pursuits and they often act as unasked for road wardens. While they are often beloved by the peasantry, their actions can have unintended consequences for those that they seek to aid, leading to their being turned against. The ruling Boyars, of course, almost universally loath them but, so far, have not moved to eradicate them completely as they fear a general uprising if they were to do so.

The Romadian Order makes it their cause to discover and keep the secrets of the boyar dynasties, causing them to be both highly valued by the nobility and highly distrusted by all. Unbeknownst to most however, the Romadians also seek to gather the long forgotten secrets and relics of dim and far distant epochs for purposes that only they truly understand, and they do not speak to outsiders of the reasons behind their actions.

The Razbunian Order's only devotion is to unrelenting vengeance on those who's action brought them to join the Order. Each member has suffered some terrible and traumatic wrong at the hands of some group, creature, or entity and they spend their entire lives seeking ways to destroy, not only the object of their vengeance, but everything even associated with it. Vengeance is their only care, and they will let none stand in the way of achieving even a taste of it.

The knights are from Great Grimoire Miniatures and Velrock Art while the terrain piece behind them is from Flesh of Gods Miniatures. The background is a stock photo from the Carpathian mountains.
