Valencian Paladins

Holy Knights blessed with the holy power of Valencia Herself. Paladins are extremely devoted to their faith, and as such, are granted miraculous abilities and weaponry. While they are powerful and have proven quite effective against the Horrors of Pamant, the Empire has come to realize their limitations in the modern era and their ranks have dwindled, leaving only

Paladin Orders

 * 1) Order of Hightower: The most ancient order of Paladins named after the legendary slayer of Stheno. They refuse modern weaponry in favor of blessed swords, axes, and hammers. Headed by the Kardinal Paladin.
 * 2) Order of Anderson: These Paladin’s are chosen from among the ranks of the Heilig Priests to serve the Hochheilig as personal bodyguards. Headed by the Cardinal Priest.
 * 3) Order of Gerect: Chosen from among the elite of the other two orders to serve as guards in Valencia City. Headed by the Lord Kardinal.

Knights of Bedauern
Although this is not an actual "order" of knights, it certainly is the most unique of the Paladins. The knights are placed in special armor that permanently binds them in service to the Church. These "Knights" are conscripted by force or by choice, but only if a grave sin has been committed. Service in this "order" is considered penance and accepted as sufficient in place of purgatory. Lead by Bedauerlich.
