D&D 5E Oath of conquest (flavor)

Warpiglet-7

Lord of the depths
So I was really toying with an oath of conquest design. I have tried to flesh out two characters lately.

I like the oath spells and do not mind the tenets per se but wanted some internal conflict.

I was thinking about going with Lawful Good and flavoring the aura as essentially having creatures quake in fear of their own evil. I know that has been done before, but I thought perhaps the fear effect could be a being seeing their own wickedness and for a time, writhing in the presence of ‘god.’

I also thought about playing the character as awarrior doing “what must be done” without always wanting to do it the “hard way.” Perhaps he prefers persuasion first?

would this be workable for the oath? I just thought about doing it differently. I am really not opposed to devotion per se but there is no tension there.

curious about how others played conquest.

the far other side was a zariel tiefling struggling against their heritage.
