A paladin, the bulwark of all that is good and right, Source Knights of their respective orders and conduits of their grand deity; paladins stand in front of the enemy of their religion without any fear or care for death. Every paladin holds a code of honor or ethics that is dear to them, to break this code is to lose everything they stand for in life. A paladin is often chosen by other respectable members or leaders to lead a small group or a contingent of warriors on a holy quest. They are often the best chosen for such a task due to them being more responsible than others.
