First off, i like your idea of a Paladin of a deity of rogues. I wouldn't do it IMC, but it definitively has a lot of potential. In Unearthed Arcana, A Paladin of Freedom's (CG pally) Code of Conduct states "must be chaotic good in alignment . . . respect individual liberty . . . help those in need (so long as t isn't for lawful or evil deeds) . . . and punish those who threaten or curtail personal liberty"and your CoC looks like this:Code of Conduct: - Protect all Sylvan life- Protect the Woods- Protect all those who are obviously out manned, even in a losing battle? ---- To what extent ? Life? Evil ? Good? Lawful?- Say a prayer at dusk - Drink a glass of fae wine in honor of fallen foes- Those who are greedy and cruel need to be taught a lessonAlso, other things to consider from the book Faiths and Pantheons are: clerics pray for spells at midnight ("where darkness covers their mischief"), there’s a monthly midnight gambol (where worshippers sacrifice beautiful objects [mostly not their own] dancing, wine drinking, tale-telling, and endless prank-playing), clerics commonly multiclass as rogues or sorcerers (although rogues fit your character concept better), worship of Erevan is not permitted to occur in the same place twice and Erevan himself is described as "incapable of remaining still or concentrating on a single task for any extended period of time." that said, here is how you should work a CoC for your players Elven Paladin.Erevan's Code of Conduct-must be chaotic good in alignment-must pray at midnight (incl. drinking a glass of wine in his honour, and to get spells)-help those in need, so long as it is not for lawful or evil ideals-never worship or pray for Erevan Ilesere in the same place (if you are in a prison or otherwise held in one place for long periods against your will, you must try to escape until your death, less that dishonour you)-be ever-loyal to you fellow elves (not Drow) and sylvan creatures and help protect those places where they dwell (esp. forested areas)-whenever a situation occurs where it seems as the hand of Erevan has played a role, drink a glass of wine in his honour (this may include feats of spectacular luck, etc)-respect personal liberty, no matter what the race or creed, except those who are overtly evil or lawful or those who break a part of your code of honouranyways, hope this helps you a bunch for your Elven Paladin, and gives you some ideas at least if you don't you use it as is. enjoy  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
