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.

The best feeling as a DM is when people enjoy your adventure. I hit a (tiny, but subjectively huge) milestone today!

I got a bestseller badge on DMsguild! Granted, yes, it is only the lowest tier of a badge. But I wrote and made this adventure completely on my own, so even this tiny milestone makes me extremely happy.
I wrote (and played at my table) a campaign from levels 1 to 7 set in Cormyr, the Forest Country. My players liked it and enjoyed the lore precision, so I decided to polish it up and release it, to see if Im made out to be someone who does these things.

Explore Cormyr’s countryside, delve into Suzail’s intrigue, and brave the treacherous Vast Swamp. Discover 25+ unique magic items, new monster stat blocks, fresh twists on Hexcrawl exploration, and an exciting new Achievement system! Designed for four players, levels 1–7.

20+ detailed maps, along with a map for Suzail, and two region maps for Cormyr west and east respectively.

14 new unique stat blocks based on 2024 Monster manual.

NOT SURE? You can get a GENEROUS demo, 50 pages long, with quite a lot of content up to lvl 3 -- FREE 50 PAGE DEMO FOR THE ADVENTURE HERE: https://site.dmsguild.com/product/534231/Cormyr-Legacy-of-the-Purple-Dragon-DEMO?src=by_author_of_product&filters=45469

As a thanks to the few dozen people who deemed my work worth their money, I put the thing on a 50% off sale!

Capital D Death?

Tress of the emerald sea page 291, her final line is “don’t wake me even if Death himself comes, nails in his eyes.”

Is there any reference to a capital D death in the cosmere? The ten deaths maybe.. and the nails?
Should I rafo or is this just a weird cameo / easter egg by brandon?

Stuff that simply HAS to be on a good DM screen?

What do you think HAS to be on a good DM Screen? For me, it's condition descriptions and longjump rules. Whats yours?
