There's a new Unearthed Arcana in town! "The bard receives a new Bardic College feature: the College of Eloquence. Additionally, the paladin gains a new Sacred Oath feature: the Oath of Heroism."
The Oath of Heroism could fit anywhere in the alignment spectrum, but I'd argue that believing in the idea of Destiny or Predetermination is philosophically lawful on many levels because it asserts the reality is orderly.
Nothing passes over the hero paladin's head...I decided that the Paladin of Heroism talks like some combination of Thor, Drax, and Lothar of the Hill People. Might have them hail from Faerun's Old Empires --- maybe one of the Mighty Sons of Gilgeam the God-King?

One does fell that Oath of the Hero is something of a comedy archetype.
Minsc and Boo say this should be a ranger archetype.

Even gonzo suggests something I don’t think is there, any more so than in the case of “wizard” or indeed, “Paladin”.Not really seeing the humor, it is a gonzo mythic archetype...? Hercules, Gilgamesh, etc.

You know 3rd party Greek themed 5e Setting used Barbarian for Herules themed subclasses, but it's interesting the WotC uses the Paladin instead. I like that because it means less overlap.
