So, can ANY say forgotton realms diety have a paladin dedicated to Vengence .. like say Lathander.. or is it more of a War god Tempus type thing.. Opinions ?

Hmm.. so OoV Pallies don't even need to be good.. These sound like hard core knights Templar type dudes, rather than saintly ol'Pallies of yore!
#3 silentdante Aug 18, 2014 23:59:50	i do not think paladin has to be any alignment in 5e, does it say somewhere? i was just looking over the PHB and didn;t see anything.

May the flesh of our enemies be crushed beneath the holy tread of our anointed steel boots, and the blood of the Wicked flow like Rivers in the heartlands of our Faithful. All hail lathander and know her Mercy!”

The Paladin class section states that Paladins are rarely evil.   I'd interpret that as most paladins are Lawful Good (they uphold a very strong code of behaviour, and those codes require them to help people,) but exceptions exist and PCs have a higher chance of being exceptions than most other groups. A non Lawful Good paladin may be more likely to break their oath, which may mean ceasing to be a paladin if they cannot resolve keeping their oath and helping people with their alignment.   I don't see anywhere that Paladins have to worship specific gods, or even a god at all. There are suggestions, but not requirements.
