    Default Re: If the Order fails and the world is destroyed, what happens to the Blood Oath?

    I think the point is that "died trying" overrides any magical power the oath may have.

    The person swearing the oath, is saying "I will not rest (living or dead) until it is fulfilled".

    And since Devas are a subclass of Angel, and Angels are Any Good

    I think it's safe to say that Chaotic Good realms will have some Chaotic Good devas.

    Ysgard (OOTS's Valhalla is the nearest equivalent) is a Chaotic plane, leaning toward Good:

    and we know from this that Thor is served by deva. There's a strong implication that Thor's associated with Valhalla.

    Presumably, these are Thor's Deva minions:

    and they are presumably CG.
