Paladin
Paladins are those who pull power from the magic sometimes granted from swearing oaths. This may be granted by the being they swore to, or sometimes just may be granted by the powers of magic itself manifesting within the oath as they do with Metaphysical Oaths. Paladins are sworn to uphold the tenets of their oaths, often sending them out into the world to protect or even attack aspects of it. Metaphysical Oaths have meant that the reputation of Paladins as righteous is not always true. Many are still figuring out the rules of their own oaths, and many more wish they never swore them.
Historical Paladins
- Phoenix was a paladin who helped deal the decisive blow to the beast in the desert in Spireflat. It's known he was resurrected once at least, but that the blow he struck did kill him as well.
- Hetlia "Vicegrip" Jardom was a Goliath paladin of conquest who fought in the Winter War as a mercenary on the eastern front of the Hastlands against Vanreth. Hetlia is well regarded as one of the most formidable foes, and is said to have defeated half a regiment on her own during an ambush.
- Kalmia Bothone is a gnomish paladin who works with Green Night, a party with Ardent. She's known for having slain the Ettercap of Darkroad and to have defended her party in the woods against bandits in nothing but her underwear.
