Foreground growth for Cairn, part 3: Paladins

Seven legendary paladins rest in the earth, seven oaths etched on their tombstones. As soon as someone recites an oath in full, the text vanishes. The oath takes up an inventory slot until fulfilled, as it burdens your soul.

Tomb of Karolin the Paladin - Oath of the Hands
You swear to bring back Karolin's hands*, a relic stolen from her corpse. After fulfilling it, your attacks get enhanced when fighting undead and demons. Undead creatures defeated this way go to the afterlife and can't be raised again.

*Karolin's hands: Heal d8 STR to the touch. Recharge: keep them close to your heart during the night of the second-to-last day of the week.

Tomb of Roma the Legion - Oath of Conquest
You pledge to become a ruler through force.
After fulfilling it, while fighting a detachment or a colossal creature, you count as an army yourself.

Tomb of Harpar the Hero - Oath of Glory
You pledge to make your quest echo through the voice of the bards.
After fulfilling it, you gain a winged steed who'll answer your call for help anywhere.

Tomb of Ambros the Great - Oath of the Crown
You pledge to restore order in a place where chaos rules.
After fulfilling it, you learn how to cast a geas on a target who can understand you. A geas goes "you shall not [blank] or you'll die". You can't cast another one as long as the target of the geas lives.

Tomb of Shepard the Peaceful - Oath of Redemption
You pledge to make a powerful but wicked creature change its ways.
After fulfilling it, you begin to emanate an aura of peace. You can always try to pacify a creature, no matter how hostile. They get to roll a WIL save.

Tomb of Ulfred the Black - Oath of Vengeance
You pledge to deliver punishment without mercy to a powerful, wicked creature.
After fulfilling it, your attacks against the designated foe are enhanced. Furthermore, you can always feel their general direction and proximity. Even when fulfilled, this oath stays as a burden.

Tomb of Agnus the Light - Oath of Mercy
You pledge to defeat a foe who is tormenting the weak, but show them mercy.
After fulfilling it, a light encases you. It grants you +1 armor. Allies close by also enjoy this protection.

Foreground Growth for Cairn, part 2: Master Musicians and Celestial Scholars

These orders allow PCs to gain additional abilities and resources in a class-less and level-less system like Cairn. As a general rule, an order shares their secrets with a donation of 1000gp, or if they believe you align with their cause.

Foreground Growth for Cairn, part 1: Berserkers

These orders allow PCs to gain additional abilities and resources in a classless and levelless system like Cairn. As a general rule, an order shares its secrets with a donation of 1000gp, or if they believe you align with their cause.

Berserkers

Cause: "Unshackle the beast within"

If they deem you a worthy friend of their tribe, the Berserkers can teach you how to access your primal Rage.

While Raging:

• Your melee attacks are enhanced
• You have an Edge on your STR Saves: reduced failures, enhanced or automatic successes
• You don't Save vs Critical Damage

Your Rage lasts as long as you deal or take damage. When it ends, you are deprived until you have a night of sleep. If you Rage while deprived, you gain 1 Fatigue.

After you’ve learned Rage, you gain additional abilities depending on how many worthy foes you bested. To commemorate their fallen opponents, Berserkers etch their skin.

After 3 kills, learn Reckless

While Raging, roll an additional d12 on a melee attack. Take the highest as the damage dealt to the opponent, while the lowest as STR damage against you.

After 7 kills, learn Cleave

When Raging, instead of enhancing your attack, you can make a Blast attack.

After 10 kills, go back to the tribe to choose a Totem Animal. In addition to the abilities granted by your Totem, you can speak with animals.

• Bear: Reroll your STR on 12+d6, take the new result if higher, and gain 2 additional inventory slots
• Eagle: You can see tiny details at a great distance, make impossibly long and tall jumps, and gain an unbreakable grip strength.
• Wolf: You have an Edge when trying to avoid detection, and you heal d6 hp if you witness an ally getting harmed during a fight

Once you have your Totem, you become a tribe member and gain the right to challenge the chief in a duel (5 hp, 15 STR, 14 CHA, d8 runic sword, rage, reckless, random totem). If you win, you become the chief of a Tribe of Berserkers (1 hp, 15 STR, d8 axe, rage)
