"And war broke out in the heavens;
Micheal and his angels fought against the dragon.
And the dragon and his angels fought back;
But they were defeated,
And there was no longer any place for them in heaven.
The great dragon was thrown down,
That ancient serpent
Who is called the Devil and Satan,
The deciever of the whole world, he was thrown down
To earth, and his angels were thrown down with him
-Revelations 12: 7-9

Welcome to the Holy Wars

Paladins
Holy Warriors of God, Paladins are battle field generals, and though their order are elite and there numbers few, when there is a deciding battle to be fought, it is the Paladins who take the field. Each of the three orders of holy knights (the Templar Knight of Micheal, the Hospitaliers of Raphael and the Blessed Soldiers of Metatron) have slightly different skills as given to them by God through His devoted angels, but in the end they are the same - pious, powerful, wise, strong. A single paladin can rally those noble soldiers around him to greater heights, and a squad of them charging across the battlefield is a fearsome sight.

Typically, when on the field of battle, the Knights Templar lead the right flank, the Hospitaliers lead the left flank, and the Blessed Soldiers hold the centre.

Paladin's garner much respect in society, and are often equal to the ruling nobility by way of their virtue and faith in God.
