Blackguards and the Holy Orders

Like paladins, blackguards are rare individuals in the
DRAGONLANCE Campaign, mortals given dark
powers by their god to accomplish that deity’s foul work
in the world, but usually unassociated with a specific
cult or church. For the most part, the evil clergy would
rather not deal with blackguards, who fall outside
their own traditions and restrictions, and the career of
a blackguard is often short. The Knights of Takhisis,
especially, find the blackguard’s tactics particularly
abhorrent.

Krynnish blackguards require a patron deity, just
as paladins do. Any of the evil gods might choose (or
curse) an individual to that fate, but the lawful-aligned
gods of Darkness are less inclined to do so. Hiddukel,
Chemosh and Morgion, who do not shy from the
underhanded and vicious traits of the blackguard, are
particularly good choices.
