About this mod
This adds my homebrewed version of what I envision the Oath of the Phoenix would be. By some they are called "Phoenix Knights", by others they are called "Hellknights" - regardless of the name they are brave warriors tempered by their belief in the holy flame. Some paladins of this Oath may praise Gods of fire, while others hold to their ideals.

Embrace the Flame.
I swear to wield the unyielding power of fire, letting it be both my weapon and my shield. I will not fear its destructive force but instead, channel it to bring justice to the world.
Destruction for Redemption.
I understand that sometimes, destruction is a path to renewal. I will not shy away from purging corruption with cleansing fire, seeking to bring about a rebirth of justice in the wake of chaos.
Courage in the Inferno.
I shall charge into the heart of danger without hesitation, for fear is but a fleeting shadow in the face of my unwavering resolve. The hotter the flames, the fiercer my determination.
Rebirth through Sacrifice.
I acknowledge that true strength lies in self-sacrifice. I am prepared to lay down my life for the greater good, trusting in the flame to purify and grant me the chance to rise again, stronger than before.
