From publisher blurb: Paladins who take the Oath of the Golden Lance venerate a pantheon of celestial spirits that take the form of beasts. These spirits are concerned with honoring and protecting the natural world, and ensuring that a holy balance exists between civilization and nature. Paladins who feel the call of this oath often come from rural or farming communities, and many were farmhands themselves. Paladins who follow this oath are as likely to be found delivering a newborn calf as they are to be hunting evil monstrosities in the deep woods. Adventuring paladins who take this oath travel far and wide, to communities large and small. No good deed is too insignificant for them.
