All I will say is if you are a paladin and side with glut you become an oath breaker.

Tbf sometimes your oath will break for completely indecipherable reasons. Like attacking those fake paladins that were hunting Karlach — I had to have Astarion start the fight with my character conveniently out of view.
Or if you attack the obvious hag after she makes people vanish into thin air and she does in fact turn out to be a hag. Unless you hit a couple specific dialogue flags the game is like “How dare you attack this innocent old woman!”
I'd like to imagine a paladin petitioning their deity like a cop: "the suspect was armed and I feared for my life" lol.
Depends on what your oath is. It's not just swearing to good but the oaths are swearing to a concept.
Wait why didn't it break when I attacked those fake paladins after karlach? 
I think if you hit the right dialogues talking with them it doesn’t get mad?
Most of the times it’s happened to me I can definitely see how they’re defining it as breaking the “Oath of Devotion” but the way I interpreted my characters actions and how the game interpreted them don’t line up.
I would say attacking the incredibly obvious hag who already killed those nice young lads I met earlier and has a distressed girl at her table lined up with my oath. But no I guess unless she transforms in front of me and says “I’m going to eat you” before I hit her I’m just attacking a defenseless old woman
It depends in your oath and how you went about it. If you don't get them to admit they're devil worshippers then fighting them will cause a fall for the devotion (I think they're called) oath.
I never got the impression that Glut cared that much about justice for his people or being a better leader than Spaw. He just want power for power's sake because he's used to being the sovereign but lost that position.
Don't help Glut. Yes, yes, Sovereign Spaw not good either, but srsly, Glut just wants to kill everyone he doesn't like / who disagrees with him on anything.
What’s wrong with Spaw, seemed okay to be but maybe I missed something?
Because he's a Sovereign lol. Kidding aside, tho, I'm not sure if I remember correctly but Spaw was pretty cruel about a few things too. It's been a while since I played the game.
Glut's a loser kill him
Glut just wants to do an ethnic cleansing on another circle because he lost his own.
The consensus seems to be to side with Spaw.
Ok I do. He's pretty rainbow colours anyway
Don't help Glut, just help Spaw get revenge.
I sided with glut and so did my wife so idk what happens if you don't
Glut spoiler
Glut is a little punkass who ran away instead of helping defend his circle and now he blames Spaw for it. Fuck Glut, all my homies hate Glut
