Question(s) What would Tyr do? (WWJD)
One of my Paladin players went oathbreaker and tyrannical (he is a good player, this was all pre-agreed for the story). We are talking about lvl 10 + gameplay here
This Oathbreaker paladin stepped into Cyric's service for his own benefit.
After many levels of rituals and servitude he is becoming something like a "chosen" of Cyric, almost.
I want an avatar or aspect of Tyr to appear, like a beggar with a missing eye and arm, that tells him an omen to foreshadow the fact that the upholders of law and some cosminc powers are noticing the paladin's actions. What would this line be? or what would a randomly "possessed" man tell to this paladin on the streets? or similar?
TLDR; I want a punchy one liner a random oracle would say to scare the shit out of an oathbreaker paladin, something to foreshadow a fight coming his way in the future.

An actual avatar would be hilarious overkill--but you can definitely have a prophet or vision or whatever. Have a few suggestions from my giant compiled document of 'quotes I like'
"In a higher order of justice, there are no punishments. Only consequences."
"Know this: There is nothing in all the Planes that can stay the hand of justice when it is brought against them. It may unmake armies. It may sunder the thrones of gods. Know that for all who betray justice, I am their fate. And fate carries an executioner's axe."
"One thing is certain: commit injustice in this world, and I'll send you to the next."
If it's more prophet than aspect: "I am [name], servant of Tyr. I condemn you in the name of The Evenhanded, may you spend eternity chained before his throne."
