| Paradise and Fist are twin cataphract archers who have pledged themselves to [[Cahlenna]], who prizes them for their accuracy and tracking ability. The pair generally take on an inhuman appearance, more like humanoid trees of sinister origin. They carry gossamer longbows that are hardened for parrying (+1 defense) and act as curdling dream bows (''Fair Folk'', pg. 143) in shaping combat.
| | This type of Tirobhava oath idealizes thorns and their way of acting as defense while inflicting damage. It associates weapons with thorns and thirsts for the blood they can spill, so favors those that swear to spill blood with its power, particularly if they do so to defend something else. Intangible in creation, this oath incorporates itself into or onto weapons in some way in the Wyld, such as a sword pommel or the gold engraving on a spear blade. |

| Cahlenna owns, but does not possess, the twin's Ring and Heart graces and, while they own their other graces, one typically holds on to the other's Cup (an ivory arrowhead) and Staff (a leather hawk hood) graces. The hold their own Ring (a whetstone) and Sword (a tiger fang). They are lured by the prospect of tracking and killing prey they have never before encountered.
| | The raksha archers [[Paradise and Fist]] swore to "protect [[Cahlenna]] and destroy her enemies". This oath wrapped around their bow strings like spun gold and granted them an Archery specialty (+2 against Cahlenna's enemies). |

|
| Both twins have taken two similar oaths:
| | ==Game Information== |
|
| |
|
| *[[Rain of Thorn]] promises to defeat all of Cahlenna's enemies. It manifests as the strings on their bows.
| | '''Tirobhava Oath'''<br> |
| *[[Promise of Bark]] promises to follow Cahlenna's orders. This oath manifests as an elaborate design in green enamel on their armor.

The oathtaker ignores the multiple action penalties on her first five actions in a turn. She may also spend a point of gossamer to gain a reflexive parry at full Dexterity + Melee pool against an unblockable normal or ring- or sword-shaping attack, adding six bonus successes. If this ability is used to parry a shaping attack, it may parry another such attack for free in the same scene. |
